Former McGill hockey star to be inducted into university’s sports hall of fame
Francis Verreault-Paul, a Montagnais from Mashteuiatsh, an Innu community in Quebec, starred for four seasons at McGill University before embarking on a pro career in Switzerland, Denmark, Italy and England.
And now he’s being inducted into the university’s sports hall of fame.

#RCMP arbitrarily decides who's a #journalist & who isn’t & prevented journalists from #accessing sites of #Indigenous resistance. When #media fought back RCMP reduced those barriers only to #obstruct journalists’ ability to #document arrests. #Mounties have aimed guns at journalists. They’ve #arrested & #jailed #reporters for doing their job. These are #incursions on journalists’ & all #Canadians #ConstitutionalRight to a #FreePress 💥

Conor Kerr weaves the emotions of anger and hope through the pages of his newest poetry collection Old Gods.
It’s autobiographical, says the descendant of the Lac Ste. Anne Métis and the Papaschase Cree Nation.
He expresses a heartfelt longing for his traditional territory on the “prayerie.” And knows that in the grand course of history, the years of colonialism are a mere blip on the scale.

Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Oklahoma
By the time Europeans arrived, the Potawatomi were living around the Great Lakes, with a social structure that included a strong communal lifestyle. The people were bound together through ties of kinship, custom and mutual necessity. Several removals devastated the Potawatomi people after Europeans moved to present-day America, but a resilient group, the Citizen Potawatomi refused to give up hope.

Today in 1885, the Battle of Frenchman's Butte occurs when 400 Alberta Field Force attack 200 Cree warriors.
Led by Wandering Spirit, the Cree repel the attack. While victorious, the NW Resistance was nearing an end after the Battle of Batoche weeks earlier.

It's a big weekend. We launched our e-commerce site featuring products we've created, and have our Inaugural Booth at Carnaval San Francisco as vendors.
But there's also the work we do that is more than design- it's the work we do that supports external projects important to us and that significantly impact communities.
One we've been able to support is the subject of this KPIX | CBS story.
We designed and built the website for CANA - Cultura Y Arte Nativa de las Americas, highlighting the resources and strategies behind community projects, including The Village.
We took time to build this site knowing it had to be ready for Roberto Y. Hernández’ trip to Washington DC for the Justice 40 Initiative presentation.
It means the world to us to be a small part of an incredibly impactful plan, featured on CANA’s website here:
We are proud to be entrusted with CANA’s mission and messaging, and will always strive to do work with meaning.

Do yourself a favor and listen/watch this episode of Red Power Hour. What starts out as a justified rant about natural history museums and #Indigenous exhibits, turns into a passionate plea for resistance against colonial violence and fascism today. Native or not, if you have been feeling the squeeze or alienated by this new reality, then you will get a much needed dose of sanity and solidarity. And probably learn a few things. https://youtu.be/0k9vR1foKW8

I was re-acquainted with my 2nd cousin Angeline Boulley (yes THAT Angeline) at a book signing here in town today. Happy her new book about an "indigenous lara croft" is doing well.

Signage at the Wallowa-Whitman Mission has been updated to include #Indigenous perspectives about Whitman. NPS Director Chuck Sams (who's Cayuse and Walla Walla) described it to me as "one of the best examples I’ve seen in my own lifetime" of public signage adjusting for honesty about colonial violence.
But the signage at Deadman's Pass in #Oregon continues to erase Indigenous people and perpetuate settler mythologies.
(More from my conversation with Director Sams: https://www.hcn.org/issues/54.11/indigenous-affairs-national-park-service-from-dominance-to-stewardship-chuck-sams-indigenous-approach-to-the-nps)
Signage at Deadman's Pass does mention Marcus Whitman, a missionary high on Manifest Destiny who got his ass handed to him by the Cayuse.
Whitewashed and demonizing accounts of #Indigenous heroes protecting their lands and people inspired even more colonizers to descend upon Cayuse lands and persecute the people with religious oppression.
More on the fraudulent "Whitman massacre" and its role in the #Oregon Trail: https://columbiainsight.org/the-fraud-that-inspired-the-settling-of-the-northwest/
Cayuse and Nez Perce linguistic anthropologist Phillip Cash Cash once told me about a place in #Oregon called Deadman's Pass, where settler-colonizers murdered an #Indigenous family gathering food. Even today, public historical signage at Deadman's Pass gives a pleasant view of settlers, calling them "emigrants" and lionizing their efforts at colonization. The signage makes no mention of #Indigenous people.

Had my coffee with Shoshone Falls yesterday morning. These falls were described to me by Klickitat River Chief Wilbur Slockish, who once spread out a blanket here and listened for hours because the sound brought back boyhood memories of Celilo Falls before the US drowned them.
“Man, I missed that sound,” he told me.

"One morning, I woke up to my dad’s panicked voice yelling, 'Get up, get up, get up!' He threw my bed aside, and he and my mom threw gunnysacks full of fish into the hole, along with a net covered in fish scales. He quickly changed and scrubbed off what mud he could, tossing his scaly clothing down with the fish.
"Soon the state game wardens came knocking at our door..."

LAKOTA LANGUAGE RECLAMATION PROJECT
Lakota elders helped a white man preserve their language. Then he tried to sell it back to them.
“No matter how it was collected, where it was collected, when it was collected, our language belongs to us," said Ray Taken Alive, a Lakota teacher.

3/ #SorryDay #StolenGenerations #Indigenous
Government removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children commenced in the early 1900s. Before then, settlers were stealing First Nations children (women and men) without government authorisation.
The policies that allowed the forced removal of children ended in the 1980s.
However, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are currently being removed at far greater rates than ever in the history of invasion and colonisation of this continent. https://cacyp.com.au/update-inquiry-into-aboriginal-children-removals-and-placement/
Too many setters argue that all the bad things happened a long time ago, but the Stolen Generations, enslavement and Stolen Wages happened in many of their lifetimes. And the bad things are still happening.
In recent years, Sorry Day has also become a day of activism for the many children still being removed, wage theft, and the unfinished business of the Bringing Them Home Report recommendations. This activism is First Nations-led, and does not over-shadow Sorry Day's purpose of a day of remembrance for the Stolen Generations.
And no, the voice will not stop the bad things happening - it's one more toothless committee the government will ignore, just like previous committees and governments - so don't fucking @ me, I don't care how you intend to vote.
2/ #SorryDay #StolenGeneration s #Indigenous
These State and Federal governments' practices of child removal was based on eugenics and was a form of genocide. Christian doctrines underlined these removals, and churches run many of the institutions the children were incarcerated in.
Basically, the idea behind the removals was to quicken the eradication of First Peoples (to create easier access to land and resources for settlers) by removing children and forcing them to assimilate. Alongside this was State control of Aboriginal women and girls relationships and reproduction rights.
This forced removal of children by government and church is a form of genocide, recognised in the UN Convention of Genocide > https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml
At the same time, First Peoples were regarded as a free source of labour to build the new empire. So the children were trained in basic skills, and then sent out to work on farms/stations, businesses, and in private homes, as young as 9 years old.
They were not paid, and would be captured if they escaped. They were given basic shelter and food, and often subjected to physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Pregnant girls/women would be sent back to the Homes (institutions). Once they'd given birth, the baby was taken and the girl/woman sent back to work.
This domestic servitude and labouring was a form of slavery > https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/10-things-you-should-know-about-slavery-in-australia/i0nc7x4vw
This enslavement finished by the 60s in Australia. People are still fighting for their stolen wages.
TBC
Acknowledging that today (26 May) is the 26th Sorry Day. And I am thinking of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people stolen by government and church, and the many who never came home 💗 :firstnations:
#SorryDay is a day of remembrance for the many 1000s of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families and communities. And a day of reflecting on the the pain their families felt, and the intergenerational impact.
The word sorry in Sorry Day does not refer to apology or regret. It comes from the Indigenous practices and protocols of grief and loss, known as Sorry Business.
Sorry Day centres First Nations people who suffered loss due to these race-based government policies, not on settlers who feel remorse/white guilt.
This annual day of remembrance is one of the very few actioned recommendations of the 1997 Report of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families (Bringing Them Home Report), which was the result of a royal commission >https://humanrights.gov.au/our-work/bringing-them-home-report-1997
The Healing Foundation has more information about the Stolen Generations, including an excellent portal of resources > https://healingfoundation.org.au/
In the next post (ie linked) I'll do a quick explainer on Sorry Day and the Stolen Generations >

#scams on #tribal communities isn’t new.
Been covering fraudulent #rehab centers off and on since December. What pisses me off is that after regular everyday #Natives posted about it on #tiktok and it gained traction, that’s when state and tribal entities acted.
I found it’s been happening since 2019 - so why no warning until recent?
Yeh man, we out here. Got a nice little community myself (my Fediverse feed is very nicely colourful tbh) I second what @mastodonmigration said - follow hashtags (#BlackFedi, #BlackMastodon, #BlackFriday, #BlackTwitter, #Indigenous, #Latina, #Latino), follow similar users, etc.

Members of the American Indian Caucus describe Montana's legislative session:
“It was terrible.”
“nasty”
a “really difficult and horrible time.”
“the most hyper-partisan, super hyper-partisan session I’ve ever been in.”
"a double standard"
“walking on eggshells.”
“turbo-charged racism"
"degrading"
“feels like we’re dogs asking for scraps.”
“completely ignorant of Indigenous people in #Montana”
“They made up these rules on the spot.”
in many writings & talks by #indigenous people, you'll hear language like "the law of the land" or "nature's law."
i understand this to refer to what might be called ecosystem & population dynamics.
it's what happens when you kill the wolves & now there's too many deer. that population of deer will be subject to the heavy arm of the law of the land.
you don't have to know any math to understand the idea.
what do you all think?

Peter Dutton, leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition in Australia, is pig¹ ignorant.
He is deliberately misinterpreting the current situation in Australia with regard to Indigenous status and claiming that The Voice to Parliament will create an Australia 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴, in which all people are created equal but some (the non-Indigenous) are more equal than others. He know this but he is hell-bent on refusing to acknowledge it, happy to manipulate the emotions of the less-informed, creating outrage where none should exist.
I suspect that he is aware the The Voice to Parliament will curtail, rightly, a few of the plans of the wealthy to further exploit the country; the wealthy that the Liberal and National Parties need to even exist.
Edit: Forgot the link ... https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/may/22/linda-burney-blasts-peter-dutton-for-spreading-misinformation-on-indigenous-voice

After living in the same house for almost 10 years, I have to move because the people we rent from want to renovate.
It's going to cost $3990 just to move, not including the new bond and rent for the new place, cleaning costs for the old place, and all the other incidentals.
