This is what Orange Shirt Day is about. And today, the residential school system lives on in a different form. Indigenous children are still stolen from their families and raised in group homes where they are abused and then, when they age out of the system, many end up on the streets with no supports. The 60s scoop did not end. The racism is systemic. https://www.aci-iac.ca/art-books/kent-monkman/key-works/the-scream/ #KentMonkman #TheScream #TruthAndReconciliation #ResidentialSchool #IndigenousMastodon #OrangeShirtDay

It’s National Indigenous History Month in Canada. It’s also Pride month. I can’t say I’ve heard about many events for Indigiqueer and Two-Spirit people, though. You’d think it would be an obvious thing to host. Curious about how many Pride events put a focus on this. #PrideMonth #TwoSpirit #Indigiqueer #indigenous #IndigenousMastodon #NativeMastodon #NationalIndigenousHistoryMonth #LGBTQIA2S https://uwaterloo.ca/news/waterloo-raises-two-spirit-flag-campus-first-time

Today I’m delivering seeds to feed Indigenous communities. Jacobs cattle beans grown by my parents, Kahnawake pole beans grown by me, parsnips and poblano pepper seeds I produced, and potato squash seeds I saved from a local organic gardener. #IndigenousMutualAid #FoodSovereignty #IndigenousFoodSovereignty #IndigenousMastodon #NativeMastodon #Seeds #SeedSaver #gardening #beans #peppers #squash

Post I made on this date in 2020: Rubber bullets don’t sound all that bad. They sound like toy versions of bullets. But they can remove all the flesh right down to a bone. They can shatter bones and remove eyes. They kill. And the RCMP and OPP have no compunction against shooting at us.
Not long ago, the OPP drew firearms on people at 1492 Land Back Lane in another act of terrorism against Indigenous people. They fired at women, including an elder, who were sitting outside the so-called exclusion zone.
And then they got inside their squad car and filmed the reactions. I am certain this was an intentional act of provocation. It finally worked. It elicited the violent reaction they’ve been hoping for all along. Two people attacked the squad car, and the OPP got that part on film and used it to say this was an unprovoked attack.
Give me a break. If someone were to draw a gun on your mom or grandma, I’m willing to bet it would elicit a reaction from you, too. For many of you, it would be violent.
These folks who attacked the car were trying to make the cops leave. I’ve seen video from the other side. They were trying to make the cops leave.
As someone who recently stopped cops from hurting a woman, I understand their rage.
This is continued genocide. Do not let it slide. Do not let the cops control the narrative. #ReconciliationIsALie #HaldimandTract #ProtectTheTract #IndigenousMastodon #OPP #AbolishThePolice #1492LandBackLane

I just finished shucking the beans from my tiny three sisters garden. These are Kahnawake pole beans. They are gorgeous. I got my first few seeds from a Mohawk seed saver in Six Nations. This is an heirloom Haudenosaunee variety. Hopefully, these will go on to make even more seeds and feed people. #KahnawakeBeans #HeritageVegetables #ThreeSistersGarden #IndigenousFoodSovereignty #Mohawk #SeedSaver #Indigedon #IndigenousMastodon #Beans #PoleBeans #Haudenosaunee
