@CanadaUNESCO_En @UNESCO @CCUNESCO @ElaineAyotte We do need to step up and get back the things that are being taken away even treaty rights.

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

If I had to sequence the affirmation of self-determination and getting resources to implement it, I would go for the funding first as it is harder to get. Rights recognition can become vacuous downloading without adequate resources.

[Leonard Courchene @LeonardCourche1]

@SenSincmurr Meegwetch Senator Sinclair! I am of the view that the system will not change without a perspective adjustment on the part of those currently in power. If unwillingly a structural change might help? But change must occur for us to move forward together ! Status quo doesn't work!

[mwhead @460head]

@SenSincmurr @CarolynBuffalo Why isnt more being done about the wholly wrong 60s scoop lawsuit why is nothing being done about the ones kidnapped and taken over international borders

[Steven Nitah @StevenNitah]

@SenSincmurr NWT and Nunavut Governments are good examples. Majority indigenous people get elected but the system still the same. 90% of inmates and children in care are indigenous!

@AylanX @MuskokaMoneybag Well at least I know how to identify the biggots now. They're wearing yellow vests.

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

Today's advocacy tip! Know what success looks like and be prepared to describe it. What would it look like if your efforts succeed? Are there any downsides for your group or others? If so, how will you deal with those?

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

Starting today! Words to think about not using to describe First Nations. Top of my list "healing." Defining peoples as recovery from pain versus building on multi-generational strength and rights recognition reinforces the savage/civilized dichotomy that underpins colonialism.

[Terrill Tailfeathers @Terrilltf]

It's been another 3 years of propping up Indian Act apartheid and stealing First Nation resources.

[🇬🇾 Sandaidh mac Ðòmhnaill バカ @SandyMDonald]

Crown =/= Government
Crown precedes and constitutes Government through the act of making Treaty: the Constitutional origin of government. All else follows.

If the Crown does not honour Treaty, they abrogate the Constitution.
Without the Constitution, Government has no legitimacy

[Navajo Times @navajotimes]

The Navajo Times has received unconfirmed reports that T’iis Nasbas, Rock Point and Forest Lake chapters are out of ballots. A call to the election office was referred to Elections Director Edbert Little, who was out of the office and has not returned a call.

[sharon saddleback @InHobbema]

@RuthHHopkins They called it the “Sioux Uprising” in the news. I’m so proud of all of you!! Congratulations for not giving up because it was so close! 💙🇺🇸

[Tone @PHATdadd512]

@RuthHHopkins Damn right. Thank you Wakanda for strength, pride and love.

[The Angry Native ✊🏾 @DrewWilson7]

@RuthHHopkins @lakotalaw Rejoice!!! #2020 #NativeVotes

[Rabbi Rebecca Einstein Schorr @RebeccaSchorr]

@RuthHHopkins Also, those of outside the Native community are now aware of the egregious steps that have been taken to limit access to voting. We’ve got two years to right these wrongs.

[Treena N.T. @Skeena69]

@RuthHHopkins @tantooC I was shocked and mad. Even as a Canadian looking in, I knew it was scandalous. I hope the @ACLU takes a long hard look. Just because it’s not Florida doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter.

[Kathy 🍉🌹4Climate2 @grannysidney]

@RuthHHopkins #NeverForgetStandingRock #WaterIsLife ❤️🌎 Because you voted there will be another election Thank ya'll for being who you are 🌹

[BloodElections2016 @BElections2016]

“For example, a widespread dietary shift to eating less meat and reduced material consumption would significantly lower emissions.” No doubt. 75% of the world eats little or no meat — it is the euro centric colonies that are meat centric! https://t.co/z1BPErHEr0

Hla hliskwiy’(I am finished)

Salmon is life. Water is life.

May salmon, our relative, defy the odds of colonialism and capitalism. May they always return to our waters and sustain us as they have always done since time immemorial.
