This week, Clifton and I joined the Seeds of Revolution podcast out of so-called Victoria. We dug into the connections between colonization in Palestine and what's gone down on Kanien’kehà:ka territory and in Borikén (Puerto Rico). Different lands, same settler playbook.

We’re almost at our goal for the Red Road to the West Bank campaign — big love to everyone who’s chipped in so far. If you’re able to support, head over to https://amplifierfilms.ca/redroad and toss us a few bucks.

Also… we’re officially out of keffiyehs. Y’all cleaned us out!

🚀 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Clifton & I Are Making a Film – A Red Road to the West Bank 🎬

Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas and I have been friends for a long time. We’ve worked on films together before, but this is the first time that we’re truly co-directing a project—both of us taking the wheel. And it all started with a conversation about a much bigger film we want to make.

For a while now, Clifton and I have been talking about a documentary with the working title You Live on Stolen Land, exploring our shared experiences with colonialism—as a Kanien’kehá:ka from Kanehsatà:ke and as a Boricua from occupied Borikén. But in one of those conversations, Clifton casually dropped that he had all this footage from his trip to the West Bank in 2016. I was like, dude, what the fuck are we doing? We HAVE to do something with that footage.

So we started digging in, watching the tapes, talking through ideas, and what emerged was a powerful story—one that draws connections between the struggles of Indigenous peoples in Turtle Island and the Palestinian experience under the colonial state of Israel. Obviously, the histories and conditions are different—the colonization of the Americas started centuries ago and is in a different phase—but the core reality remains: colonization is ongoing.

That’s the main point we’re trying to make with this film.

And we don’t want to just make a film—we want to build relationships. We want to bring people from Palestine to visit Turtle Island, we want to do more interviews, we want to expand this story. But to do that, we need resources.

One of the biggest lessons I learned from working on Yintah was that if you want a film to reach a lot of people, you need to invest in the early stages. The development materials, the research, the pitch decks, the editing—all of it matters when knocking on doors to secure funding for a truly high-quality film. With Yintah, that process helped us get wide distribution, and I know we can do the same here.

So today, Clifton and I are launching our fundraising campaign to kickstart this project. This is just the first step, but it’s a crucial one.

🔥 Support the film & help us tell this story: amplifierfilms.ca/redroad

If this resonates with you, please donate, share, and help us get the word out. Let’s make this happen.

#Akwesasne8 DISMISSED. #NewYorkPowerAuthority fails to produce documents necessary to move forward.

By Akwesasne 8, via #CensoredNews, Nov. 12, 2024

"The charges of Conspiracy to a Felony, and #Trespassing against the six of the Akwesasne 8, who appeared today, were dismissed today at Massena Town Court. The District Attorney stated that New York Power Authority (#NYPA) did not produce appropriate documents to move forward

"Researchers for the Akwesasne 8 had gone to the St. Lawrence County Office for Deeds and Records to find a Deed/Land Title showing NYPA ownership. There is no record. When discovery documents were offered to the Akwesasne 8, each asked whether the documents contained a Title to the land on which the Akwesasne 8 were arrested. The District Attorney implied such documents were not part of the discovery packets.

"In March 2022, Federal Judge Kahn of the Northern New York District of US Federal Court, ruled that New York State possession of #Mohawk land is a violation of the #NonintercourseAct which prohibits land transfer of Indian land to non-Indians without Congressional approval.

"On May 22, 2024 eight Kanienke’háka were arrested for Trespassing at #Niionenhiasekówahne (Barnhart Island). Seven of the eight were charged with Conspiracy to a Felony. One person was charged with a Felony.
There is a long history of #Onkwehonwe relations to Niionenhiasekowá:ne (Barnhart Island) - from the Dish With One Spoon Agreement, to Onkwehonwe families living on the island, and continue today through Kanienke’háka assertion of hunting, fishing, tree tapping, and #MedicineGathering liberties.

"The Akwesasne Mohawk #LandClaimSettlement agreement seeks to sever Onkwehonwe relationship to Niionenhiasekowá:ne, formally ceding the island's title to New York State for $70 million and subjecting our hunting and gathering rights to foreign governments.
The Onkwehonwe that began construction at Niionenhiasekowá:ne acted in assertion of Kanienke’háka inherent and original rights as well as the pre-existing governance of Kaienerekowa.

“'The Band Council, Tribe, state and federal governments are outside Kaienerekowa governance as younger governmental entities cannot and will not ostracize us from our lands and waters,' said one of the Akwesasne 8.

"'We are going back to Niionenhiasekowá:ne because it is Kanienke’háka land,' a group of the Akwesasne 8 stated."

A #Kanienkeháka woman says she was refused re-entry into #Canada when she presented her #IndianStatusCard at the #Montréal #Trudeau #InternationalAirport - 15 km from her home community of #Kahnawáke .
Meloche said she contacted #CBSA later and was told an Indian status card is a “legitimate and valid” document for entry back into the country, which is #confirmed on its website.

Vu que Pierre Vallières revient dans l'actualité, fait trop peu connu sur lui: il a soutenu les Kanien'kehá:ka pendant la Crise d'Oka. Pas juste dans des déclarations fumeuses. Il était dans la rue, assis par terre dans des sit-in, pis il était en tabarnaque contre l'élite intellectuelle et artistique québécoise.
