Canadian governments continually treat Indigenous title as a “policy issue” rather than a legal obligation and fundamental right. @rileyyesnomaybe.bsky.social asks: Why must Indigenous people fear for the protection of these rights with the arrival of every new government? thewalrus.ca/trc-land/

Justin Trudeau promised a “total renewal of the relationship between Canada and Indigenous peoples.” Ten years later, Mark Carney’s Building Canada Act has Indigenous leaders protesting and filing legal challenges. What future is left for reconciliation? thewalrus.ca/trc-introduction/

Climate change is melting ice roads — a lifeline for remote Indigenous communities

So excited to have worked with @grist.org and @indiginews.bsky.social !!!
From @hilarybeaumont.bsky.social & @jessieboulard.bsky.social for @grist.org & @indiginews.bsky.social: More than 50 First Nations depend on approximately 3,700 miles of winter roads. There are no paved roads connecting these Indigenous communities to the nearest cities. 🧵

Ice roads are a lifeline for First Nations. As Canada warms, they're disappearing.
Indigenous peoples are navigating the slow collapse of winter roads — and an even slower pace of help.

#rainermariarilke I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years and I don’t know…
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
