In Minneapolis a Native elder has some wise words of eviction

"As many of you know, for the last 500 years, Native Americans have not really had a place because of colonization," said Ernie Whiteman, an Arapaho elder who led the ceremony. "We know what it is to lose. We know what it is to have things removed from us. But if we give up, we are defeated. So we have to band together as one people and unite. That's the only way we're going to survive."

(see how people in MN are fighting back against evictions and foreclosures.. it takes Solidarity (and nothing is perfect), tolerance, hard work, Love, persistence, courage, risks, intelligence and faith )

"This demonstrates that what we're fighting is real," said Jonathan Ceballos, whose family is fighting their impending eviction in Occupy Homes MN's Eviction Free Zone. "Thank you all for your support. We're going to keep fighting and we won't give up."

As community supporters brace for imminent eviction defense at the home of Sergio Ceballos, who was illegally dual tracked by JPMorgan Chase Bank, they have also reclaimed a vacant house half a block away for people experiencing housing instability. The home at 4207 14th Avenue South belonged to the grandmother of Mike McDowell, a community supporter who has moved back into the home. Immediately before the ceremony, the police evicted Mike's home extrajudicially, detaining two people and citing them with trespassing before releasing them--even though the police admitted they didn't know who had rights to the property. The charges were dropped later that evening.
