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 #IndigenousProtestby Joy Spearchief-Morris
Aug. 8, 2025Excerpt: "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."

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.

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

One of the #IndigenousEducational #books on my reading wishlist.
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.

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."

#IdleNoMore is what got me connected to other #Indigenous people in community. It’s what opened my eyes to the #ResidentialSchools. Before that, I thought they were just schools for Indigenous children. My Dad never told me that’s what he’d gone through.

RCMP CIRG get 6 months training & it's fast tracked if higher up in ranks too. Ppl outside Canada - RCMP CIRG was created shortly after #IdleNoMore movement shutdown Canada & govts got scared. CIRG is full #corporateMercenaries unit, #funded by #public #TaxDollars & they use #violence on #Indigenous #FirstNations peoples on their own #Unceded lands. Govt depends on public #ignorance on #IndianAct & choose #BandCouncil #sellouts to talk to; who have ZERO #jurisdiction on non reserve lands.

Operation Chaos: Covert Operation Targeted AIM and International Reporters
by Brenda Norrell, November 26, 2022
"Currently, a new film on #BuffySainteMarie and news articles expose how Buffy was blacklisted in the US by Presidents Johnson and Nixon, at the direction of J. Edgar Hoover, because of her anti-war stance during the Vietnam war and song, 'Universal Soldier.'"
The article goes on to mention how the American Indian Movement (AIM) "was the focus of US government spying prior to Wounded Knee"!

Indigenous Perspective and the #ClimateCrisis
by Chili Yazzie, Dine’ of Shipwreck, NM
Presented to #COP27 on November 10, 2022“Our declaration is that the world’s governments, corporations and subscriber to modern science and technology do not consider all perspectives including the Indigenous Perspective. Thus, they are at a disadvantage as their high process is incomplete, they are in conflict with the Original instructions with their disregard for Indigenous Knowledge. For there to be a true opportunity To rescue humanity, our planet home; the wisdom of Indigenous people must be recognized and honored. We do have answers and solutions. You must hear us.
“Some of our elders, medicine people say it is too late, but of the sake of the grandchildren we continue to blow on the embers of hope. We will never stop fighting to protect our earth Mother, we must never stop defending the future of the grandchildren.”

I was one of the first people who brought the media to #idlenomore, turning it from a niche protest to a national and international movement.
how much more of an activist do you need?
