Interview: SouthEastern TalkingStick Podcast

At the end of the year on December 29 I was invited to speak on the SouthEastern TalkingStick Podcast with Anidohi CHRISTINA RR JXI and Chito Pa. It was a wonderful and freeing experience in that I was allowed to speak honestly and unbound for my son, murdered Indigenous rights activist and successful Land Back advocate, Muriyd Two Clouds Williams. For the first time, I presented to the public several photos of Two Clouds after he was (according to law enforcement) pulled from the Ramapo River bank which rests at the shore of the Ramapough Nation's religious grounds. The same land and water that Two Clouds secured for the tribe when he relocated there to fight for them and stop the illegal seizure of the property by the surrounding wealthy Polo Club HOA. The photos are evidence of the state of Two's' lifeless body as well as his clothing and lack of footwear.

I read from official town, county, and state documents that support the allegations I have been very loudly proclaiming since the day my family and I received the terrible news of my son's death: there was no accident, Two Clouds was absolutely, irrefutably murdered. The duo was visibly infuriated after witnessing the Truth, seeing the photos, and hearing part of an audio recording from when I and a small group of supporters confronted a man we are convinced helped steal our relative's life. In the recording the man (referred to as S1 in articles on this blog) is heard never denying our direct claims that he murdered Two Clouds. Instead he responded, "That's an accusation!" or "I want to know who's putting my name in their mouth!" yet never, "No, i didn't! I would never hurt Two Clouds!". Viewers came to understand what I have maintained for two and a half years. They joined Christina and Pa in declaring, "Justice for Two Clouds!"

We thank Creator for gifting us with the opportunity to expand our story to a broader community. Thank you Christina and Pa! We appreciate you, and look forward to working together in the future.

Videos: The Continued Attempt to Erase Two Clouds

Recently, an influencer by the name of Alessi Allaman published a three-part series of an interview he did with Ramapough Mountain Indian Inc. members, tribal chief Dwayne Perry and Steven Owl Smith. Incidentally, these are the same two individuals who fabricated and sent the fraudulent letter to the Bergen county medical examiner offering several possibilities for why Muriyd Two Clouds Williams had been found dead on their religious land, Split Rock Sweet Water Prayer Camp- possibilities that lacked any evidence, and that were not sent to Mahwah police department to voice their alleged concerns.

In response, I, mother of Two Clouds, made two reaction videos in response to Allaman's questionings. My intention is to show how the tribal chief (as well as the entire tribal government and nation overall) have actively participated in the attempt to erase the work and existence of Two Clouds by 1) not mentioning him when direct interrogation requires he be part of the answer, 2) not mentioning anything about his sudden and wholly suspicious death during the past two and a half years, even while I have asked them to many times to do so, and 3) they have not helped me and Two Clouds' supporters to demand an investigation, even while more and more evidence has surfaced proving murder and conspiracy to cover up.

Over nearly six years Two Clouds served the Ramapough people in many capacities including fire keeper, water protector, secretary, and spokesperson. It is due to his unrelenting work that they did not lose their religious land to the adjacent Polo Club HOA *their only owned parcel at the time), and why dozens of acres of stolen land were returned by the town and/or county. At the time of his murder he was the elected war chief, and had returned less than twenty-four hours before his disappearance from fighting on their behalf against then- CPAIN head, Daniel Strong Walker Thomas.

The sole responsibility of a tribal chief, clan chiefs, clan mothers, and tribal council is to advocate for tribal members. Two Clouds is an enrolled member of the Ramapough Nation, and has done far more for them than any member in generations yet they do not speak/stand/fight for him. The question to ask is, "WHY???"

Watch my reactions below to find out the answers.
