‘The Turtle' in Niagara Falls named one of country's ‘most endangered historic places'
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — The former Native American Heritage Center in Niagara Falls, commonly referred to as 'The Turtle,' was named among the 'most endangered historic places' in the country by the National Trust for Historic Preservation on Wednesday. The building on Rainbow Boulevard has been vacant since 1995 after it closed due to financial troubles. It was purchased and remains in the position of Niagara Falls Redevelopment, LLC, which once had plans to turn the property into a high-rise hotel. In the meantime, local preservationists have attempted to get the vacant building under landmark status. The Niagara Falls Historic Preservation Committee recommended to the city in February 2024 that the building get that landmark status, but it was denied the following month. It must be maintained and can't be demolished or altered without permission from the preservation committee with landmark status. 'We believe in the power of place,' said Di Gao, the senior director and research for the National Trust. 'That preservation of places that matter to communities allows us to honor the stories, events, people and places that define us.' Land dispute slows Niagara Falls' effort to attract junior hockey league team The 67,000 square foot building was built in 1981. Its unique shape with a roof 'shell' and large porthole 'eye' windows became iconic in the area and invoking 'the Haudenosaunee creation story of the earth forming on the back of a giant turtle.' 'The Turtle is a prime example between post-modern and indigenous architecture. It is unique in the world,' Shaun Wilson, board chair of Friends of the Niagara Turtle, said. The list released Wednesday by the National Trust for Historic Preservation contains 11 of the sites in the United States considered 'most endangered.' It includes another New York State site in the Catskills region as well as sites in Florida, North Carolina, Michigan, Arizona, Oregon, Virginia, Texas and California.

London protests LIVE: Hundreds of police deployed amid rival pro-Palestine and counter-demonstrations
Hundreds of police officers have been deployed in central London as a mass pro-Palestinian protest and a rival counter-demonstration take place on Saturday. Under the Palestine Coalition banner, 'tens of thousands' of protesters are expected to gather near Green Park station from midday, demanding an end to what they describe as "Israel's siege of Gaza". The march will set off via Haymarket at 1pm and conclude with a rally in Whitehall. Nearby, a counter-demonstration organised by the group Stop the Hate will assemble at Coventry Street, close to Piccadilly Circus, prompting the Metropolitan Police to impose conditions on both protests under the Public Order Act. Ben Jamal, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, said: 'The genocide in Gaza has not ended. It continues by other means - by blocking supplies which are essential to human life. Israel's desire to ethnically cleanse and colonise Gaza has not disappeared; it remains a clear and present danger, which is now evident in the West Bank also.' The demonstrations coincide with tens of thousands of football fans arriving in the capital ahead of Sunday's Carabao Cup Final between Newcastle United and Liverpool at Wembley Stadium. Police will also oversee a separate demonstration starting at 3pm near the Royal Mint, protesting plans to build a new Chinese Embassy. The protest is organised by the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China. 10:01 , Shaun Wilson Performing arts union Equity is also planning to join today's pro-Palestine march, with members from its north and south London branches Tomorrow 15 March, 11:30 we will be marching with @EquityUK @EquityNorthLdn membersjoining the National Demonstration @PSCupdates in solidarity with Palestine by the Diana Fountain in Green Park, a 3-minute walk from Green Park station in SW1A 1RD. — Equity London South Branch (@EquityLondonSth) March 14, 2025 08:51 , Shaun Wilson Friends of the Earth has tweeted in support of today's pro-Palestine march The Israeli government is again denying electricity, aid & water to the Palestine solidarity demo, London, Sat 15 March – demand justice and an end to collective 12pm, Piccadilly (Green Park).

Previous march routes were not agreed + breached legal restraints resulting in arrests + clashes with police. Further incidents cannot be discounted — Global Situational Awareness (@GlobalSituAware) March 14, 2025 08:20 A protest is set to take place outside the Tesla centre in Park Royal, west London, urging people to boycott the car manufacturer over owner Elon Musk's political ties and work for the US government. Tesla has already faced a sharp drop in its share price this year, with growing competition from Chinese electric car makers and backlash over Musk's links to US President Donald Trump and far-right causes. Organisers are calling on Tesla owners to sell their cars and investors to offload their shares as part of the campaign. 08:18 , Sami Quadri Hundreds of police are ready to halt clashes as a mass pro-Palestinian protest and counter-demonstration takes place in central London. Under the Palestine Coalition banner, 'tens of thousands' are expected to assemble on Piccadilly, in the vicinity of Green Park Station, from midday on Saturday to demand an end to 'Israel's siege of Gaza'. They will set off at 1pm via Haymarket towards Whitehall where a rally will take place. A rival protest, organised by Stop the Hate, takes place in Coventry Street, just off of Piccadilly Circus. The Metropolitan Police have imposed conditions under the Public Order Act on both protests.
