"The US actually understood quite early on that the partition plan as proposed by #UNSCOP was not workable and not feasible [...] The US did more than think about going back on partition. In March 1948 [...] the US actually proposed in the Security Council that an international trusteeship be appointed for #Palestine instead of partition." - #JoshRuebner

"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."

Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

Two #Environmental #ActivistArt pieces, for free, public, non-commercial usage.
Over the years, I've collected a lot of activist art graphics from Tumblr, Reddit & other sites where the artist wasn't always identified. I looked up who these artists were to identify them.The 1st is by Roger Peet.
https://thefunambulist.net/network/roger-peetThe 2nd & 3rd are by Pete Railand.
https://www.peterailand.com/I was a part of #StopTMX in 4 separate frontlines places across mainland BC & saw the ecocide, up close. BC NDP sent their CIRG goons in at remote areas of BC, where we had set up citizens watch stations. CIRG came to harass, beat up & eventually remove us. #RCMP protect corporate interests/profits, not citizens.

"The repatriation is both an apology for the destruction caused by #FrenchColonialism and a reassertion of its power. It is a reclamation of meaningful cultural objects and a funeral for a culture that no longer exists. It is a joyful celebration and a savage insult."

*In case you missed reading this when it was first published last year.*
#Canada’s #NationalParks Are #Colonial #CrimeScenes.
Many see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as untouched #nature is unrecognizable to #Indigenous people
In 2017, it felt like the whole country was swept up in the rah-rah celebrations around Canada 150. It was a collective anniversary, a chance to celebrate our history. Well, some of it, anyway. Tied to the many calls to explore the country and take stock of its many wonders, #ParksCanada released its Discovery Pass, which granted free entry to all national parks that year. These natural spaces “represent the very best that Canada has to offer,” it announced in a press release. “They are the essence of our country because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples.” But, as Robert Jago explored in his timely essay, Canada’s parks program was built on the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the capture of their territories—a form of “green colonialism.” Parks are wonderful spaces, but they have also acted as #political cover for the control of land, a tactic we still see used today.—Daniel Viola, senior editor, November 2023 issue.
