"Since his inauguration, it has become all too plausible that the American public will forget what we have learned about our country’s #forcedAssimilation of #NativeChildren. #Trump is taking the United States on a historical amnesia tour, suppressing and rewriting our past and overlooking tribal sovereignty."

    Building the #SettlerColonial Order: #Police (In)Actions in Response to #Violence Against #IndigenousWomen in #Canada

    Abstract:

    In this article we focus on missing and murdered #Indigenous women, girls, and #2SLGBTQQIA people in Canada. We theorize narratives that police employ to respond to this violence. Using a broad data sample of #testimonies across Canada, this article contributes to understanding how police (in)actions make sense of, justify, and dismiss violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. We draw from 48 in-depth semi-structured interviews with Indigenous peoples in Toronto and other Canadian cities and 219 testimonies from the Canadian National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (NIMMIWG). The #analysis finds that police repeatedly use similar frames (topics), styles (linguistic and behavioral strategies), and storylines (narratives) to respond to violence against Indigenous peoples. While framing Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people as deviants helps police make sense of and explain violence against them, the use of verbal and behavioral strategies (indifference, callousness, and lack of information) and storylines (“they were [insert pathologizing frame]” and “there’s nothing we can do”) allows police to dismiss and justify acts of violence. We argue that the frames, styles, and storylines employed by police perpetuate violence. Police (in)actions are fundamental to achieving settler #colonialism’s ideological and material dimensions.

  3. Professor John J. Mearsheimer was spot on when he said the # 1 biggest terrorist organization is the USA & the 2nd is Israel.
    They are BFFs in destabilizing #geopolitical terrorism. Both have had impunity for their multiple war crimes for too long.

    Consequences are long overdue for both of these colonial terrorist governments, filled with many war criminals.

  4. “ 'If the Democrats want the vote of Indian people, we want them to stand with us, not only on issues like the apology around boarding schools, but we also want them to stand with us in the solidarity that we have calling for a #ceasefire in #Palestine,' says #NickTilsen, founder and CEO of the #Indigenous-led #NDNCollective."
