1/2📍From July 18–21, Deputy Grand Chief Anna Betty Achneepineskum and Rachael Anishinabie of @NANComms will hold a Fasting Ceremony at Queen’s Park in defence of our inherent rights and sovereignty.
This act of solidarity stands firmly against Bill 5 and Bill C-5—
Wet’suwet’en and Gitxsan leaders are in Gatineau to speak for their communities and lands at the summit on the Carney government's C-5 legislation. They also met with Neskantaga leaders: https://t.co/0fRNudJspb #RCMPofftheYintah#StopPRGT#NoRingOfFire#KillBillC5#AbolishCIRG
McKenna literally spent months campaigning for a Prime Minister who has now pushed through a bill to make it easier to stomp all over Indigenous rights to build pipelines and who is making calls for "decarbonized oil."
Oh yeah and under her, our country bought a pipeline.
Canada has abandoned the path of reconciliation and nation-to-nation building in favour of a continuation of ruthless settler capitalism disguised as “elbows up” nationalism. This isn’t going to end well.

Impose a pipeline on Indigenous nations? Not so fast, say Indigenous rights lawyers
"As a leader of the federal government, you have constitutional obligations. It's well developed under Canadian law that you have to respect Indigenous rights."

Shameful that the C010nizer still insists their control over our human rights to self-determination
We know that we are on the right side of history & the 0Kup-1er is not
B.C. previously allowed mineral claims without First Nations consultation. It was court-ordered to fulfill its duty consult — but critics say what the new policy came up with is full of flaws https://t.co/EDuZeG0259
Premier Wab Kinew says he spoke with Ashlee Shingoose’s parents briefly and says “I promise you that we are going to search the Brady Landfill for your daughter. I cannot promise you that we will bring her home, but I promise you that we are going to try.”
Most critical minerals are on Indigenous lands. Will miners respect tribal sovereignty?

A North Dakota jury ordered Greenpeace to pay $667 million to an oil company for its alleged involvement in the Standing Rock protests.
The lawsuit attempts to “chill First Amendment rights” for environmental and Indigenous activists, says human rights lawyer @SDonziger.
The trial verdict is in. A jury found Greenpeace International and two Greenpeace entities in the US liable for over US$ 660 million combined in Energy Transfer’s meritless SLAPP lawsuit. Energy Transfer Partners tries to erase Indigenous leadership from Standing Rock's history. We know the truth - our movement was born from prayer+ceremony, led by Native women + youth. No corporation can silence us. #WaterIsLife #WeWillNotBeSilenced #StopBigOilBullies
Molly Wickham was convicted for blocking the CGL pipeline—but the cops who were found to violate her Charter rights walk free.
