Calling My Spirit Back by Elaine Alec

https://www.elainealec.com/booksWhose Land Is It Anyway? A Manual for Decolonization provides a variety of Indigenous perspectives on the history of colonialism, current Indigenous activism and resistance, and outlines the path forward to reconciliation.
Originally released as a free e-book, the audio version features renowned Indigenous writers Taiaiake Alfred, Glen Coulthard, Russell Diabo, Beverly Jacobs, Melina Laboucan-Massimo, Kanahus Manuel, Jeffrey McNeil-Seymour, Pamela Palmater, Shiri Pasternak, Nicole Schabus, Senator Murray Sinclair, and Sharon Venne.

https://fpse.ca/resources/whose-land-is-it-anyway/My Indian Summer by Joseph Kakwinokanasum
A novel about survival, reconciliation and identity set during the summer of 1979.
https://www.strongnations.com/store/10103/my-indian-summer
Joseph Kakwinokanasum is a member of James Smith #Cree Nation. Kakwinokanasum's work has been published in the 2022 anthology Resonance: Essays on the Craft and Life of Writing, the Humber Literary Journal and Emerge.
Kakwinokanasum was shortlisted for the 2020 CBC Nonfiction Prize.The Collected Works of Billy the Kid, by Michael Ondaatje, won the 1970 Governor General's Literary Award. Ondaatje's hauntingly disturbing evocation of the life and death of the 19th-century American outlaw placed him in the forefront of the new generation of Canadian poets emerging in the 1970s. The Collected Works commences with a list of 20 men killed by Billy the Kid and a foreshadowing of his own death. Using a highly visual, visceral poetic style featuring violent surreal images of madness and men killed in gun fights, shifts in time and perspective, and impressionistic fragments of Billy's existence, Ondaatje traces his capture, escape and eventual death at the hands of Pat Garrett, the "ideal assassin." Following the publication of The Collected Works by House of Anansi in 1970, a dozen major productions of a stage adaptation were held across Canada.(from The Canadian Encyclopedia)

Coast #Salish #FreedomFighters: From Alberta #TarSands to the #SalishSea
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews Nov. 7, 2024
SEATTLE -- "The dead birds floating in the #AlbertATarSands #TailingPonds, the #ManCamps linked to missing and murdered Indigenous girls, and the increased #OilTankers in the Salish Sea -- are all parts of the dirty oil of the #TransMountainPipeline pouring out of Alberta's dirty tar sands, bound for oil tankers in the Salish Sea.
"'We are not just #activists, we are #revolutionaries and we're radical and militant and we want to keep it that way, we don't want to get soft in our older years,' said #KanahusManuel, #Secwepemc and #Ktunaxa, describing her family's struggle to protect their land and stop the Trans Mountain pipeline.
"Speaking at the State of Emergency for The Salish Sea in #SeattleWashington on Thursday, Kanahus said, 'We are the title holders to the land.'"

This is what the current situation is here with the fires. Air quality is off the charts, multiple communities in the interior are on evacuation orders and alerts.
#Squilax has been partially burned down (there's been mixed reports and gossip, but as of this morning the band office, and #Quaaout lodge still standing, but the gas station and some homes burnt down). There's been an extreme lag with news and updates about the #Shuswap area, as the focus has been on #Kelowna, and evacuation orders for reserves weren't posted on the #BCWildfire map until up to half a day later.
Many other #Secwepemc reserves are on evacuation orders, and while #ChaseBC is on alert, it's surrounded by orders and road closures. People are stealing and moving firefighting equipment, including the sprinklers protecting the few bridges in and out of communities.
I can't keep up with everything right now.

Now, at age 55, Webstad says she dreams of the day she will be free of her own story. She wants to complete her work and then live a life that doesn’t require her to be a public figure. -

Weyt-kp xwexweytep, I'm a #Secwepemc woman (she/her) with interests in poetry, photography, ethnobotany, crafts & handiwork, #Indigenous Rights & critical #Indigeneity, biogeography, & toponymy, among other things.
I was hesitant to make the move here (I'm @ CoyoteDreams and @ CoyoteRain elsewhere on social media), but I took my old name back and I'm looking forward to seeing if this is a place for a different way of engaging with each other.
