The Conservative and Liberal parties are both the white Nazi parties of Canada. They have been abusing First Nations and engaging in resource theft for decades. #AnyoneButConsAndLibs

Poilievre's Indigenous policy looks a lot like a threat. This is him saying the feds will cut funding for ISC, replace it with tax room - and if we allow resource development in our territories, we can tax it to replace the money the feds took. I.E. let the pipeline through, or no drinking water.

Millions of Native people were enslaved in the Americas. Their story waits to be told.
The enslavement of millions of Indigenous people in the Americas is a neglected chapter in U.S. history. Two projects aim to bring it to light.

Indigenous folk make up a much larger percentage of the Canadian population than they do that of the USA.

I worry for my people (and myself) if Canada gets annexed into the States. Social stats are bad across the board as is, they'll be much worse if we lose our various legal recognitions.

Kesalt, I love this. Good to be reminded of what we already know sometimes, wela’lin nitap’skw
a love letter:

your ancestors were uncertain at times too. they felt those same feelings of impending doom & hopelessness, but they kept on it, just like you are.

they knew about you then, just like you know about them right now. some things are absolutely certain.

A First Nation in northern Ontario living under the longest boil water advisory in Canada is about to hit a grim milestone.

February 1 marks 30 years without safe drinking water for Neskantaga First Nation, an anniversary the chief says is unconscionable.
