RE: https://mstdn.ca/@RantingCanuck/116629793044265389
A verdadeira essência desta terra não reside em fronteiras desenhadas por colonizadores, mas nas raízes profundas dos povos originários. Aqui no Nordeste do Brasil, a resistência contínua de nações como os Tremembé, os Pitaguary e os Kariri-Xocó nos ensina diariamente sobre a verdadeira conexão com a natureza e a vida.

#Namgis #FirstNation #BigHouse - #AlertBay #CormorantIsland. From my 2023 visit.
The Namgis #FirstPeoples use their big house for cultural #community events. #T̓sasała #Cultural Group uses the big house for sharing cultural teachings, songs & dances.
"You will see the next generation of #Kwakwa̱k̕a̱wakw sharing our culture to educate the world about our ancient songs, dances, teachings and values. These teachings are still being passed on today to the children of T'sasała.
You will witness the dances of the T̕seka, our red cedar bark ceremony. You will see the traditional dances that connect us to the land, sky, and sea. The #T̕seka will be followed by the T̕ła'sala ceremony - peace dances, then finally the #A̱mlala or fun dances where you will get a chance to join in."

I am a native Malaysian person, specifically from the Sabah region. It seems that, although I am a native of this land, it feels like nothing belongs to me here. Capitalists and cronies own the land; our rights to electricity are being denied, and our voices are constantly suppressed or harassed.

Originally known as Ho3o’uu Niitko’usi’i in the Arapaho language. To the Ute people, this is a sacred land, believing the formations to be ancestral beings “frozen” into the rocks, or even the origin of their existence #indigenous #nativeland

@cbcbc_mirror #BCNDP & federal Liberals don't care about respecting #IndigenousRights. They have blown millions of tax dollars to sue Indigenous peoples in BC & they sic RCMP on native land defenders. #Colonizers never really changed & are still abusive/exploitive. They never planned to fully implement #UNDRIP.

#Landback includes #Hawaii & all those other places where so many people like to go on sunny vacations at & where many non-residents buy properties from colonial land thieves.
You can't be totally serious about #decolonization & the related landback issues - if you don't include Hawaii & other sunny holiday hotspots. That's just a selective, fragmented, unethical & immoral colonial mindset.
Decolonization & related landback issues aren't restricted to Turtle Island (North & South Americas) or Australia or Palestine. It's global.

I love looking through https://native-land.ca. I learn something new every time I go, usually by just clicking on one of the random articles on the side. It's pretty clear that it's a small team behind it, and I wish they had more resources to be able to put more indigenous languages on the map (literally!).
If you have some time on your hands and a passion for language, I'd highly suggest checking out their Volunteer page: https://native-land.ca/how-to-contribute/volunteer It's a lovely way to contribute to/learn about global Indigenous sovereignty and lift up marginalized voices. Each language is a worldview; we can learn so much if only we look for it!
Also this is Ariel; I'd post this on my profile but wandering.shop has a very small character allowance and I am way too long-winded for it, I have found :P

*In case you missed reading this when it was first published last year.*
#Canada’s #NationalParks Are #Colonial #CrimeScenes.
Many see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as untouched #nature is unrecognizable to #Indigenous people
In 2017, it felt like the whole country was swept up in the rah-rah celebrations around Canada 150. It was a collective anniversary, a chance to celebrate our history. Well, some of it, anyway. Tied to the many calls to explore the country and take stock of its many wonders, #ParksCanada released its Discovery Pass, which granted free entry to all national parks that year. These natural spaces “represent the very best that Canada has to offer,” it announced in a press release. “They are the essence of our country because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples.” But, as Robert Jago explored in his timely essay, Canada’s parks program was built on the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the capture of their territories—a form of “green colonialism.” Parks are wonderful spaces, but they have also acted as #political cover for the control of land, a tactic we still see used today.—Daniel Viola, senior editor, November 2023 issue.

November 7th — #UNDRIP in the Courts: What's at Stake? [Webinar]
RAVEN will be hosting a one-hour webinar with representatives from #Kebaowek First Nation and the #Gitxaała Nation to discuss how they are using UNDRIP in #CanadianLaw. In both cases, the Crown argued in different ways that UNDRIP didn't apply to the circumstance.
What's at stake? The decisions in both cases will shape how UNDRIP applies in the Canadian #legal system for decades to come, but how and in what way is still unknown. Show solidarity and join us as we are in conversation with our panelists to learn more about what's at stake, and what the #FirstNations are hoping to achieve through their cases about UNDRIP.
WHEN:
Thursday, November 7th, 5:00-6:00pm (PT), 2:00-3:00pm (ET)https://fundraise.raventrust.com/event/undrip-in-the-courts-whats-at-stake/e621223

Back in 2018, Beaver Lake Cree filed for an #AdvancedCostOrder - #ACO - to secure funds from #Alberta and #Canada in order to continue accessing #justice for their #TreatyRights case, a case which will protect their people and territory from further expansion of the Alberta #TarSands and other #ResourceExtraction industries if successful. But, the cost of litigation for a case this momentous was more than the #FirstNation could front. That’s where the ACO comes in.
After six years, and reaching the #SupremeCourt of Canada ( #SCC ) — #BeaverLakeCree Nation will now receive $1.5 million annually from Alberta to continue their Treaty rights case!
The decision for a yearly contribution is a welcome relief, allowing the Beaver Lake #Cree Nation to move their case forwards while managing costs across their community needs.

#Akwesasne is part of the #Mohawk Nation, one of the six nations of the #Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Its residents’ #AncestralTerritory, which includes Barnhart Island, extends across the #Canada - #USA border, and includes parts of #Ontario, #Quebec and #NewYork state. For decades, factories surrounding the reserve dumped now-banned chemicals into the #StLawrenceRiver, #contaminating the land and water. But Barnhart Island is upstream of the contamination — the breeze is still sweet and the water is clear. And soon, Akswesasne #TribalGovernment may sign a settlement agreement with the State of New York, ceding its title to the island forever.
For the #LandDefenders who were arrested, reclaiming #BarnhartIsland goes hand-in-hand with protecting what’s left of their territory that is still healthy enough for them to gather medicine, hunt, fish, conduct ceremonies and heal. They aren’t willing to sell their homeland — not for any price.
Freelance #journalist Brandi Morin and #photojournalist Ian Willms spent five days on the territory in June to document the fight for clean land.

Violence and Repression: #Indigenous from #Russia, #Algeria and #Nicaragua Appeal to the #UnitedNations
#CulturalSurvival: "#LatinAmerica is one of the most dangerous regions to be an #IndigenousRights and #environmental defender. Three out of four assassinations of environmental defenders take place in Latin America. Indigenous defenders face a double threat: defending rights and being Indigenous."
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
July 17, 2024GENEVA -- "The #coal and #GoldMining in Russia has driven #IndigenousPeoples from their homes and poisoned their rivers. In Nicaragua, the assassinations and imprisonment of #LandDefenders has fractured families and communities, presenters told the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
"In Algeria, the people have barely survived 3,000 years of violent #colonization and #genocide.
'Other people should not undergo what we have experienced – which is the case now in #Palestine,' said the representative from the Algeria Association, Learned Society of scientific research, religious and mystical bodies. Describing the genocide in Algeria, he said France has thousands of bones and craniums of the people in French museums."An Indigenous woman from #Khakassia Republic in Siberia described the coal and gold mining: 'Coal is mined, despite mass protests, the government used land, private property for this, and citizens were driven out of their homes.' Now, she said, the conditions are no longer good for livestock breeding, which is their way of life.
"'The government is only interested in the presence of natural resources -- but we are a resource ourselves,' she told the #UnitedNations.
"'Our language is disappearing, and we only have one school in the republic where the language is taught. We are #Khakas but we do not govern #Khakassia.'
"'Nothing has been done to protect our land. The main priority is the mining for materials.'
"'I also note the #Shors are suffering from gold mining, they have territory for traditional nature management created by the Republic of Khakassia, traditionally they are fishers and hunters and so on.'
"'However, companies are #polluting rivers, and this water should be used for vital needs. This water flows through villages, however it is polluted, but companies do not put an end to their activities."

The #GrandTraverseBand of #Ottawa and #ChippewaIndians is one step closer regaining #tribal #ownership & #stewardship of a 187-acre chunk of land on the #LeelanauPeninsula.
The land that became #TimberShores was #illegally transferred to private ownership in 1855.
#NOAA is giving more than $6.5 million for the purchase of the Timber Shores site. It's also chipping in on #restoration efforts. The money comes from a larger $11-million pool that also funds continued work on the #FishPass project in the #BoardmanOttawayRiver.
The remaining amount for the purchase, roughly $3.5 million, will come from a #Leelanau County nonprofit called #NewCommunityVision, which negotiated a $10 million purchase of the land. The #nonprofit says it's still $2 million away from that amount but expects to have it by the end of 2024.
Under the agreement, New Community Vision will purchase the land, then transfer it to the Grand Traverse Band for restoration & #preservation. It will be renamed #Mashkiigaki, which means marsh lands & place of the medicine.
The tribe’s #NaturalResources Department will restore Mashkiigaki’s shoreline, wetlands & creek corridor, which are important spawning grounds for cisco & other native fish species.

The #GrandTraverseBand of #Ottawa and #ChippewaIndians is one step closer regaining #tribal #ownership & #stewardship of a 187-acre chunk of land on the #LeelanauPeninsula.
The land that became #TimberShores was #illegally transferred to private ownership in 1855.

Experts working with the #FirstNation of #NaChoNyäkDun who have witnessed the fallout at #VictoriaGoldEagle mine near #Mayo, #Yukon, say systems on-site are so severely compromised that damage to the land & water is all but inevitable.
What they describe is a system rendered mostly #inoperable, with each affected piece elevating #risks to the #environment — every day.
On June 24, part of the Eagle #mine failed and a massive #RockSlide involving roughly 4 million tonnes of material cleaved off a large piece of the facility where #gold is extracted from ore using a chemical process called cyanide heap leach. Estimates put the amount of ore stacked on the heap leach pad — which functions as a giant industrial percolator — at nearly 4 times what was lost in the slide.
With the #HeapLeach pad downed, experts say a #toxic soup of #SodiumCyanide & other #contaminants — up to 300,000 cubic metres of solution, according to the #YukonGovernment — was released in the initial slide. Since then, they say, more of it has been draining.
The First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun has called the event "the region's most recent and potentially #catastrophic #mining failure."

More than 50 members of an uncontacted #IndigenousTribe have been photographed on a riverbank in the remote #Peruvian #Amazon near an area where #logging companies have been granted concessions by the country's government.
The large group from the #MashcoPiro appeared in recent days near the southeastern village of #MonteSalvado, which belongs to the #Yine people. A smaller group of 17 appeared near a neighboring village.
The Yine, who speak a language related to that of the Mashco Piro, have previously reported that the #UncontactedTribe has been angry about the presence of #loggers on their land, according to the #IndigenousRights group #SurvivalInternational.
“This is irrefutable evidence that many Mashco Piro live in this area, which the government has not only failed to protect, but actually sold off to logging companies,” Alfredo Vargas Pio, president of the local Indigenous rights group #FENAMAD, said in a statement from Survival International.

#HappyThanksgiving everyone in #BellinghamWA and in particular on our #SubduedSocial Mastodon instance. In recognition that we live on the ancestral lands of our neighbors the #Lummi, #Nooksack, and other #CoastSalish peoples, I made another voluntary #LandTax donation to the Lhaq'temish Foundation equivalent to 10% of our hosting costs and domain registration fees over the past 6 months.
