Respect and consent is the standard for general moral behaviour - it's application to Indigenous peoples is a necessity to shared existence and better relations.

Remember that company that crafted up a plan to carve up Nabas for riches? And the Tsilhqot'in that stood strong against money politics because we see something more beautiful in our cultural roots to this place - please support us again

What a Mess!

[UBCIC @UBCIC]

Today, as Canada takes possession of the controversial and ill-fated Kinder Morgan pipeline and tanker project, Indigenous leaders renew vows to enact their rights as proper title holders by protecting their territories against this project and its devastating risks and impacts.

[Russ Myers Ross @RussRussross77]

As an Indigenous Leader, if you truly believe in justice for the land, then you must commit to believing it with your neighbour. Pipelines or mega-projects, you have to be united: mutual respect for truth and justice before putting a price on the land.

Making moves by starting with some truth telling. People need to know the way in which land was acquired and then make the ethical choice to determine how to engage First Nations. #Nation2Nation https://t.co/HlqViZqxBV

"In many ways, the Tsilhqot'in Nation is not part of Canada. We were never a part of any form of confederation in 1871. This along with Canada's treatment of Indigenous peoples, has placed us outside the governing body of Canada" - @RussRussross77
