At their policy convention last week, Conservatives offered a prominent platform for the same Doctrine of Discovery tropes that were used to justify the attempted extermination of First Nations. And by a British Lord no less: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/full-text-daniel-hannans-speech-at-the-conservative-convention Philip Hannan extolls a “Canadian nation shaped by pioneers who settled empty snowscapes”. And ominously, the overwhelmingly white audience roared their approval #indigenous #firstnations #Landback

If you haven’t seen it already, highly recommend. Would have been hard to come up with a better tourism video by a Canadian company, so props to the Aussies #canada #cdnpoli #landback

Principal message coming out of panel of Chiefs overseeing searches: the ultimate objective of finding the bodies of children who died in #residentialschools must be justice. Much discussion about taking a case to the UN to ensure the government of Canada is held accountable - including by Grand Chief of the Quebec Cree Mandy Gull-Masty #indigenous #firstnations #wearestillhere #landback

Minister Virani now acknowledges he cannot carry out his life's work - to uphold equality nationally - without acknowledging the foundational inequality on which the Canadian state was established after centuries of colonialism #indigenous #firstnations #reconciliation #landback

Justice Minister Arif Virani is now speaking on behalf of the Canadian government. He began on a note of humility, remarking how he made errors as a politician in the past when he equated the challenges of teaching his children Hindi with the challenges of indigenous people teaching children their own languages. He was quickly reminded that the teaching of indigenous languages was accompanied for generations with beatings and other physical violence #indigenous #firstnations #landback

@indigenous_commentator is being targetted by hate groups for her advocacy of justice for residential school victims. Watch her video call to action and let’s help spread her content to counter the hate #firstnations #residentialschools #Landback

Someone in my family history was forced to face south and walk. Away from her only home, her family's only home for thousands of years. #LandBack #TaxesBack

Survivors are gathering from across the country today for a National Gathering on Unmarked Graves in Montreal. This report on the first such event a few months back in Edmonton provides some sense of the emotional and policy context: https://globalnews.ca/news/9316608/communities-share-stories-searching-unmarked-graves/

I will be participating online over the coming three days, and will report my impressions here. Please follow if you would like updates #reconciliation #justice #landback #firstnations #indigenous

This is the best news ever…The Upper Sioux Agency state park where bodies of those killed by the US-Dakota war were buried will be returned to the Dakota Tribe. #Landback in action, baby!

RLM Arts poster catalog, p679: "Ken Saro-Wiwa" (1996)

Saro-Wiwa, a cultural worker and environmental leader, fought for Nigeria's Ogoni people in defense of their land and rights, challenging the Royal Dutch Shell Co. and military dictatorship. With eight others, he was hanged in 1995 by a military tribunal. Their spirit lives on.

The US military should fight terrorism in the USA. Defund many "law enforcement" divisions. Restore direct action community voting initiatives for local tax disbursement specifics. (As to social services and community safety, and the rest). #LandBack
We are paying for multiple security services that have turned their weapons against us. I am sorry y'all, I got military fam, if I *have to* trust someone, it's the guy who grew up like me and then joined the Navy. NJ defunded some.

A much more accurate narrative at the American Museum of National History than I saw at Ellis Island. The new permanent exhibit on the NW Coastal region explains (a) that indigenous nations are alive and well, (b) that there are many, each presented separately and (c) they each tell a story of human achievement to be celebrated and to learn from. #indigenous #firstnations #landback The future of this land not just the past

Open-pit mining, or any #mining for that matter, has no place in or near our #communities and #SacredSites without full tribal consent.

@grumble209 @jennzycos @ione @Radical_EgoCom touché. It’s also why I’m a big advocate of #LandBack: not just for reparative Justice, but mainly because the land should go to the people with the best track record and philosophy for sustaining it.

@Jeggers

Have you learned about the #LandBack movement? It addresses all those problems.
