"Since time immemorial, the people of Ginoogaming have hunted, gathered, performed ceremony, buried ancestors and healed in the territory; but mining exploration activities threaten the area..." #IndigenousRights #cdnpoli https://t.co/A00wyWLodO

"While it is crucial to better understand how Indigenous peoples were [and are] affected by these genocidal systems, over the course of more than a century, it is also essential to acknowledge that settler Canadians have benefited from these colonial policies" #CanadaDay #cdnpoli

[Bruce McIvor @BruceMcIvor]

#Reconciliation is a failure because it's based on the racist Doctrine of Discovery. This #CanadaDay read & share my explainer. Call on every level of government & any organization you belong to to repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery. https://t.co/P9DUR6CfTs

The B.C. government breached the Treaty Rights of the Blueberry River First Nations, according to a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that could have sweeping implications for oil, gas, forestry and hydro development.

"It can't be one-sided because you slip into unilateralism...one side just has all the resources and the ability to articulate what their hopes and rules and aspirations might be, and the other side doesn't have that same opportunity." #IndigenousLaw

"It is horrific. But it is not shocking. In fact, it is the opposite – a too-common unearthing of the legacy, and enduring reality, of colonialism in Canada." https://t.co/mdMOH5V0pr #cdnpoli #residentialschools #Kamloops
