Listen more to the voices of pregnant oppressed Indigenous women & less to voices of unoppressed non-Indigenous women. The former have valid, justified fears of hospitals because of the fact that countless pregnant Indigenous women received involuntary surgeries to render them unable to give birth again. Others had their babies stolen from them, without consent or any prior consultations. I've listened to many personal horror stories about this - from my mid-20s to now.
Canada only ended its cultural genocide/eugenics on Indigenous on paper. They never really stopped their attempts to genocide Indigenous peoples. I am not being dramatic about this. It is a fact. A fact that almost all settlers conveniently choose to ignore.

Rio Tinto's water extraction is drying up a sacred waterhole for the Robe River Kuruma people. The company is building a new desalination plant to help.

Critical minerals collide with #tourism in B.C. resort town.
A #Calgary based mining company called West High Yield Resources wants to extract #magnesium ore from Record Ridge, about seven kilometres outside of town, and ship it overseas.
West High Yield holds mineral claims over 8,972 hectares at the site — an area 4.6 times bigger than the city of Victoria. In October 2025, the #BCgovernment approved the company’s #mining permit.
Several #Rossland residents say they have been confounded by what they see as abnormalities in the siting and permitting of the mine. Many have united under the banner of the non-profit Save Record Ridge Action Society ( #SRRAC ).
At one point, WHY Resources sought to remove up to 200,000 tonnes of ore a year, but later reduced that to 63,500 tonnes per year — below the 70,000-tonne limit that often triggers an environmental assessment.
In a May 2025 letter to the province, the #Ktunaxa Nation Council argued alongside SRRAC that the mine footprint only dropped by 5.7 per cent, despite a 68 per cent cut in proposed production.
The stated lower production capacity “masks and understates its true capacity” and environmental footprint, added the nation, arguing it’s designed to avoid initial regulatory hurdles and be scaled up later.
SRRAC requested that Ottawa carry out an environmental review of the Record Ridge mine project.
A report issued last month from the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada rejected that request. It found the mine project did not require federal designation, and that existing laws were enough to manage the potential impacts on fish, migratory birds and Indigenous rights.

#WhiteMesaUte Invite Public to Join #SpiritualWalk to Protest #UraniumMill, Oct. 4, 2025
by #CensoredNews, September 20, 2025
Excerpt: "The rally and spiritual walk is to protect the White Mesa Ute Community’s health, water, air, land, culture, and sacred sites from the nearby #EnergyFuels uranium mill and show community opposition to the mill operating as an international dumping ground for radioactive waste from North America, Japan, and Europe. All relatives and allies welcome.
"The rally on Saturday, October 4, 2025, 11 a.m. MDT will be followed by a spiritual walk to the Energy Fuels uranium mill, about five miles on relatively flat pavement. Wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. Limited number of vehicle seats available for elders and those not able to walk the whole way.
"The White Mesa Ute Community Center in White Mesa, Utah, is just south of Blanding, Utah off Highway 191. The community center is on the west side of the highway. Turn west at the gas station
and go one block south."The Ute Mountain Ute Community of White Mesa and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe are concerned about #contamination from the nearby #UraniumMill and desecration of sacred sites.
"The uranium mill, owned by Energy Fuels Resources, is also where uranium ore from controversial #UraniumMines, including #PinyonPlain Mine, near the #GrandCanyon, is sent for processing; #NativeAmerican tribes, including the #HavasupaiTribe, strongly oppose that mine. As far away as #Madagascar, #IndigenousPeople strongly oppose Energy Fuels’ operations. The October 4 protest and walk are sponsored by the #WhiteMesaConcernedCommunity and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe."

*White men speak with forked tongues*
The federal government is blocking First Nations leaders in British Columbia from participating in consultations to address the badly backlogged Jordan's Principle children's program, CBC Indigenous has learned.
The move came shortly before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared at the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) chiefs' meeting in Ottawa last week, where he touted his past pledge to find "a new way of working together" that includes "welcoming you to be part of the conversations."
However, federal lawyers had just withheld consent for the B.C.-based First Nations Leadership Council to take part in the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal-ordered talks, citing what the government called "practical reasons" — prompting some leaders to condemn the disconnect.

About Murder by Decree
Murder by Decree is an #uncensored #record of the planned #extermination of #IndigenousChildren in #Canada’s murderous Indian #ResidentialSchools. It is issued as a corrective #CounterReport to the miscarriage of #justice by Church and State known as the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” #TRC. Based on eyewitness #testimonies and #archival #documentation deliberately suppressed or ignored by the TRC, Murder by Decree proves that the #genocide of #IndigenousPeople began as a religion-led campaign and continues to be a deliberate governmental policy in Canada. This Counter Report reveals these startling facts: – Over half of Indian residential school children began dying the very first year these church-run facilities were opened – This huge mortality rate continued unabated for over a half century because of deliberate practices of germ warfare according to a prescribed monthly “death quota” – Evidence of these crimes and their intentional nature has been continually destroyed by the RCMP and the #Catholic, #Anglican and #UnitedChurch since at least 1960 – The same genocide continues today, is aimed at indigenous women and children, and is driven by foreign corporate interests hungry for #NativeLands and resources Murder by Decree is issued by The International Tribunal for the Disappeared of Canada (ITDC), an international #coalition of #jurists and #HumanRights groups. The ITDC was formed in December, 2015 to investigate the disappearance of people in Canada, prosecute those responsible and prevent a further #whitewash by Canada of its #CrimesAgainstHumanity. This report is an answer to these #crimes and an urgent summons to the world and to all #Canadians to live no longer under #genocidal #regimes.

Great photo floating around* showing just how large the demonstration was outside the New Zealand Parliament over white people maliciously attempting to reinterpret an almost 200-year-old treaty in their own favour and removing even more rights from Maori.
Oh, I found an article from Al Jazeera estimating 42,000 people in attendance.
Oh there we go. Fucking Libertarians being racist as usual.
❝
An estimated 42,000 people demonstrated on Tuesday, calling for lawmakers to reject the Treaty Principles Bill, which was introduced earlier this month by the libertarian ACT New Zealand party.

October 22, 2024
"#CaseyCampHorinek, #Ponca, is at COP16 in Cali, Colombia today. "The Ponca Nation is on the ground here at COP16 in Colombia, trying to raise up the issue of #FalseSolutions to the climate conference, like #CarbonCredits and #BiodiversityCredits that are killing #nature.' She said #FossilFuels must be phased out.
"The #PoncaNation is among the nations of the world that have followed #Ecuador's lead and recognized the #RightsOfNature by law.
Casey Camp-Horinek, Ponca, spoke today on false solutions, including carbon credits which allow #corporations to continue and #pollute. 'Don't give them permission to murder.'"Read more:

The massive #CopperMine that could test the limits of religious freedom
Story by Taylar Dawn Stagner
"Earlier this month, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals declined to stop the construction of a copper mine in #Arizona on land sacred to the #SanCarlosApache Tribe as well as other Indigenous nations. Chí’chil Biłdagoteel, also known as #OakFlat, sits atop the third largest copper deposit on the planet and is essential to green energy projects. The operation, which will be run by #ResolutionCopper, a subsidiary of mining companies #RioTinto and #BHP, will leave a crater nearly 1,000 feet deep and 2 miles wide.
"'Oak Flat is like #MountSinai to us — our most sacred site where we connect with our Creator, our faith, our families and our land,' said Wendsler Noise of #ApacheStronghold, a nonprofit fighting to protect the area. 'We vow to appeal to the Supreme Court.'
"Over the years, Oak Flat has developed a storied history. In 2014, Oak Flat was a part of a #MilitarySpending bill that would allow the government to 'swap' the area with other land in Arizona. In 2016, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in an attempt to protect it, and in 2021 the Apache Stronghold sued the government, arguing that the land was reserved for the #WesternApaches in an 1852 treaty. Then, in 2023, #Apache Stronghold made the case that the land transfer would keep them from exercising their religion. The court disagreed.
"The issue before the court illustrates a battle between religion, #IndigenousRights, and potential solutions to the climate crisis. For tribal nations like the San Carlos Apache who practice what are known as 'land-based religions' — #ceremonial practices that are inextricably tied to areas Indigenous peoples have relationships with — preserving those lands with religious significance is paramount to the survival, and transmission, of both culture and values to the next generation.
"But for developers, the proposed mine would support a few thousand jobs for the surrounding community, inject $61 billion into the local economy, and provide a critical supply of copper for everything from electric vehicles to energy storage systems. By 2031, the world will need almost 37 million metric tons of copper to continue the process of green-energy electrification. Resolution Copper said that Oak Flat could provide a quarter of U.S. copper production.
"At the heart of Apache Stronghold’s legal case is something called 'substantial burden' — there must be proof that the government has interfered with an individual’s right to practice their religious beliefs. Substantial burden protects U.S. citizens from government interference, unless the government has a really good reason. That means Apache Stronghold’s claim needs to be justified with a high level of scrutiny. "

Humans think they are so superior -- that it's okay to cause #extinction of species for their own comfort. And profit. Let's not forget the PROFIT!
US wildlife service considering endangered status for tiny snail near #Nevada #LithiumMine
Story by By SCOTT SONNER
2/8/2024RENO, Nev. (AP) — "Federal wildlife officials have agreed to conduct a full, year-long review to determine whether a tiny #snail found only in high-desert springs near a huge lithium mine being built along the #Nevada- #Oregon line should be listed as a threatened or #endangered species.
"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a finding published Thursday in the Federal Register that enough scientific exists to warrant the review sought by environmentalists who say that groundwater pumping required for the operation of the #ThackerPass mine could push the #KingsRiver pyrg to the brink of extinction.
"However, the agency said in the new finding it 'does not anticipate the species is immediately at risk.'
"The @WesternWatershedsProject argued in its formal petition for the listing in September 2022 that the tiny snail no bigger than the tip of a ball-point pen was imperiled even before any new mining was contemplated due to livestock grazing, round-building and the anticipated impacts of #ClimateChange."

For solarpunks, the ability to hold two conflicting concepts in one’s mind is necessary when it comes to carbon offsets, in order to walk the tension that is life in late capitalism: understanding that the program can be used for good or for evil and is currently being used for both, necessitating a deeper, more thorough look through what exactly constitutes a particular carbon offset program.
