Much of the influence of these voices upon parliamentarians occurs outwith public hearing, yet these various voices-to-parliament also work closely with their accompanying megaphones-to-public, enjoying the luxury of shaping public discourse every day on almost every matter they care to focus on (including, of course, this very referendum - which, in the hypothetical absence of #Murdoch media, would undoubtedly be on course to comfortable affirmation, rather than its current trajectory towards rejection).
And whatever may be theoretically the case constitutionally or legally, practically, in terms of the exercise of functional political power, #Westminster parliamentary systems have shown precious little ability to abolish or even effectively regulate such voices (not least because one major political party was founded to be the vehicle for these very voices).

The Other 9/11 and Native Americans: Salvador Allende was Chile's socialist president elected in 1971 enacting policies such as the agrarian reform where the land would be returned to Natives and farmers, and recognizing over 2060 Mapuche reservations. This all ended on 9/11, 1973, when General Pinochet overthrew Allende, installing a military dictatorship and reversing Allende's policies, including privatizing Native lands back to settlers.

My students, mostly white upper middle class, find inspiration in what they read of #Indigenous peoples of #northamerica. This is good!...but it may just be a search for #purity, with earlier icons such as #wilderness now abandoned. This quiet little NYT article of a woman who made beautiful basketry offers a more variegated story: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/05/arts/design/washoe-baskets-louisa-keyser-native-americans.html

Progress happens when we come together to demand change. We should be able to do this without fear of being harmed or hurt by the misuse of policing equipment. Demand your government supports a treaty to regulate the trade in policing equipment today. https://www.amnesty.org/en/petition/regulate-the-trade-in-policing-equipment

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

Been a great day for Turtle Island.

One of my favourite days in the year is #Indigenous #Literacy Day. That was last Wednesday, but life has been (as ever) curious and I'm only just catching up. Here's the link, for those who want to join me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wudyO3y6KQ (And I'm voting "Yes" in the referendum, of course.)
