    Sadly, this is far from isolated. Something very similar happened to my ex's father years ago at a local mall. The majority of my visibly #indigenous friends get followed, accused, and/or treated poorly at various stores.

    There needs to be stiffer punishment for companies that #raciallyprofile

    Loved to see the short interviews between my friends and survivors, #vivketchum and #grammashingoose.

    #truthandreconciliation is more than just one day to remember the atrocities of #residentialschools. It's a reminder that we need to remember every day, we need to look after and honour the #survivors, and to ensure that this never happens again.

    #FirstNations Warn #Carney’s Push to Build #Canada Could Tear It Apart

    The prime minister’s #FastTrack law has already set off a wave of #IndigenousProtest

    by Joy Spearchief-Morris
    Aug. 8, 2025

    Excerpt: "The last time the federal government passed sweeping industry-friendly legislation without proper #Indigenous consultation, it triggered one of the largest grassroots political movements in Canadian history: #IdleNoMore. The movement was a direct response to the 2012 passage of the omnibus budget bill #C45, legislation that endangered #TraditionalLands and resources by reducing federal oversight on thousands of #waterways. Indigenous people across the country took part in Idle No More with widespread protests, including teach-ins, flash mobs, round dances, and blockades. Though the law remained in place, the movement showed that when governments legislate without meaningful Indigenous involvement, the consequences can be swift, sustained, and impossible to ignore.

    "Yet, across Canada’s history, Indigenous people have been European settlers’ longest allies. Relations with French settlers led to the birth of the Metis people; First Nations played pivotal roles in British efforts during the American Revolution and the War of 1812. And many Indigenous people volunteered and fought as part of Canada’s contributions to the first and second world wars.

    "Now, Canada faces new threats as the US president muses about making Canada an unwilling fifty-first state while launching a trade war on Canadian goods. But as history has proved, Canada cannot succeed in defending itself as a nation-state without acknowledging and partnering with #IndigenousNations."

  13. The fact that we have a Premier that made a statement like that is completely unbelievable. It's a racist ignorant comment and it was spoken by someone who should be representing all of Ontario.

  16. The Canadian Dept of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) continues flaunting its genocidal "doctrine of discovery" agenda against my First Nations friends.

    Red Skin, White Masks
    Rejecting the Colonial Politics of Recognition
    By: Glen Sean Coulthard
    Fundamentally questions prevailing ideas of #SettlerColonialization and #IndigenousResistance.

    Over the past forty years, recognition has become the dominant mode of negotiation and #decolonization between the nation-state and #Indigenous nations in #NorthAmerica. The term “recognition” shapes debates over Indigenous cultural distinctiveness, #IndigenousRights to land and self-government, and Indigenous peoples’ right to benefit from the development of their lands and resources.

    In a work of critically engaged #PoliticalTheory, Glen Sean Coulthard challenges recognition as a method of organizing difference and identity in liberal politics, questioning the assumption that contemporary difference and past histories of destructive colonialism between the state and Indigenous peoples can be reconciled through a process of acknowledgment. Beyond this, Coulthard examines an alternative politics—one that seeks to revalue, reconstruct, and redeploy Indigenous cultural practices based on self-recognition rather than on seeking appreciation from the very agents of #colonialism.

    Coulthard demonstrates how a “place-based” modification of Karl Marx’s theory of “primitive accumulation” throws light on Indigenous–state relations in settler-colonial contexts and how Frantz Fanon’s critique of colonial recognition shows that this relationship reproduces itself over time. This framework strengthens his exploration of the ways that the politics of recognition has come to serve the interests of settler-colonial power.

    In addressing the core tenets of Indigenous #ResistanceMovements, like #RedPower and #IdleNoMore, Coulthard offers fresh insights into the #politics of active decolonization.

  20. Indigenous communities feared the bill (controversial omnibus bill introduced in 2012 by Harper's government) would diminish their rights while making it easier for governments and industry to develop resources without strict environmental assessments.

    In advance of the speech Tsartlip First Nation Chief Don Tom said that "our experience in the past hasn't been great working with a Conservative government, so we're a little bit worried."
