#ForestProtectors Arrested at #FairyCreek

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 16, 2023

"Three forest protectors were arrested on Tuesday protecting the old-growth forests west of Victoria, as Canada continues to target #NativePeople with police operatives protecting the interest of destructive industries. The police ops are #BritishColumbia's C-IRG, the Community #Industry Response Group.

"Mourning the invasion of the #MilitarizedPolice squad who arrested the #ForestDefenders, who were his guests, #Pacheedaht #FirstNation Elder Bill Jones said, 'We are at the end times of our great forests.'

"Abolish C-IRG said, 'Due to the increasing amount of #indigenous-led anti-resource extraction movements in British Columbia, the Community-Industry Response Group was born. C-IRG is unique to British Columbia. They are militarized, have no budget limit, and the officers get paid handsomely to force #pipelines, #mines, #dams, and #logging through unceded #IndigenousTerritories, without consent. This is just another extension of the #RCMP’s original task- to remove and separate people from the land and enforce #ColonialRule. They do not keep us safe, they protect #capital."

Background: Back to Fairy Creek

"The last time the world was watching Fairy Creek, we witnessed the largest act of #CivilDisobedience in #CanadianHistory. Well over 1,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous forest defenders were arrested by the RCMP over months of tense standoffs in 2021 as #activists sought to halt the logging of rare #AncientTrees.

"The courts hammered that movement, with charges and bail conditions keeping many away, and the tussle in the trees went dormant for most of the last two years.

"Until now.

"A new blockade, led by #IndigenousYouth and supported by non-Indigenous allies, has just been erected on a key bridge crossing an arterial logging road. The RCMP's specialized tactical team that responds to land defence actions is present and surveilling the camp. A raid could come any day, and having #media on the ground is of crucial importance to keep tabs on police and document the latest developments as land defenders seek to protect their unceded territories from old-growth logging."

Amazonian childcare

A really interesting piece by an anthropologist and feminist whose partner is an indigenous Ecuadoran who went to live with their child in her partner's village. The resulting clash of child-rearing concepts may illustrate the view that it "takes a village to raise" a socially engaged child.

"Following current orthodoxy, Runa childrearing – with its casual breastfeeding, abrupt weaning, no extensive parent-child play, no lengthy adult-child talk – would be described as ‘lacking’ in so many respects. And yet, my Runa friends and family thought my own childcare practices were conspicuously inadequate to raise a child in the context of their community life. Their observations, their puzzlement and their quiet defiance of my own childcare practices remind us that, whenever we talk about childrearing, we are not talking about achieving some objective child development based on irrefutable scientific evidence, but rather about a moral project: a moral project about what kind of people we would like our children to become, what society we would like to live in, and what kind of economy we would like to serve. As my Runa friends and family have subtly but relentlessly demonstrated, there is more than one way to flourish as humans in this world."

This is the #fraudulent #fundraiser - looks/sounds slick. Fucking scam. Run by Glenn Reid & put on heads of clueless women - who have no idea of his decades long run of scamming people. Glenn also claims to be #Indigenous & #tokenizes #NativePeople & #POCpeople for his own gains.
Used sacred #Indigenous words to try to legitimize this scam & put his ( Rainbow Eyes ) partner up as person who will take legal hits because he's a bankrupt fucking con artist.

@ABecenti ‘In her report, Stewart outlines dramatic impacts of warming on traditional food sources, cultural practices, health as well as wildlife and vegetation. The data presented is informed by a perspective shared by Indigenous people, that nature isn’t something outside the home, but home itself.’ #NativePeople #sustainability #indigenous

On this day in 1830, President Andrew Jackson wrote a letter to Congress justifying the longstanding U.S. policy of Indian removal, at one point comparing it with the tender love we show our children when they leave home, while advancing the progress mythology that always accompanied #displacement. #propaganda #history #Indigenous #indigenousrights #sovereignty #NativePeople https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/jacksons-message-to-congress-on-indian-removal

#FDR changes up the laws finally giving #nativepeople certain rights and autonomy they never had before. The backlash was quick and the #western was invented as a form of propaganda to dehumanize them so they could keep taking their land and screwing them over.

We can still have the first amendment and go to war against domestic terrorism on our own soil. White Americans losing their minds over the myth that white people must always be the majority forget that white people were not three first people on this soil. #nativepeople #newyork #StopRacism #abolishWhiteSupremacy #nomoredomesticterrorism

> "We have a lot to offer the world, like our #economics…"

Yes, it was surely economical for #Texaco (now #Chevron) to covertly dump #cancer causing substances into waterways, #poisoning the #nativePeople of #Ecuador.

The same #corporation that is now linked to perverting the #judicalSystem in the #USA in the #persecution of the #HumanRights lawyer, #StevenDonziger, who successfully won the $10b case.
