Just an fyi from your local auntie:
Michif = ONLY Franco-Métis people who speak Michif or whose Ancestors spoke Michif (if you are Anglo-Métis you do not call yourself Michif)
Halfbreed/Bungii: Anglo-Métis who speak Bungii or whose Ancestors spoke Bungii. Can also mean …/1
My heart is filled with sadness. One of my favourite artists who inspired me to keep creating. My condolences to the Janvier family. 😭🙏🏽💐 #AlexJanvier#NativeGroupofSeven#Inspiring
This is my dear niece Sierra.
Last night she had her car broken into in London, ON and had two sets of regalia stolen.
Regalia is costly to create, but literally priceless to the dancer.
If you see these dresses or beadwork out there please contact London Police.🫶🏽❤️ #LdnOnt

The Long War on Gaza - by preeminent acadamic/Gaza researcher & expert Professor Sara Roy
"Over fifty-six years, Israel has transformed Gaza from a functional economy to a dysfunctional one, from a productive society to an impoverished one."
https://t.co/YyBcng5QkA
"W/ the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in its 3rd month & a permanent ceasefire nowhere in view, policymakers in the US & Israel continue to discuss a theoretical 'day after' in Gaza. To many Palestinians, such talk is dehumanizing & appears callous as the death toll still mounts."
This is a stunning development and major defeat for US power in West Asia.
First, the US Navy admitted it didn’t have the ships for the mission.
Then, France, Italy and Spain withdrew from the coalition.
Now, finally, the US has backed down, citing the fear that Ansarullah might sink their boats!
As the Vietnamese used to say: US imperialism is a paper tiger.
This humiliation comes at just the moment that even die hard Zionists are admitting that the Palestinian resistance can’t be defeated.
Now is the time to begin the process of dismantling Zionism, as part of the move to multipolarity.

So are they gonna ban Christmas and Christmas lights because of the red and green color scheme? Is this the final battle of the war on Christmas?
Cause let me tell you, at this point I see red and green and I'm like "from the river to the sea, obvs"
So, yes, you would only be AGAINST decolonization if you are in favour of continuing to keep occupying troops & sanction all their actions, even the genocidal ones.
Decolonization is the withdrawal of occupying troops in the technical definition. It is the beginning of freedom & reconstruction in the more expansive definition.
Has precisely ZERO to do with genocide, unless we mean life after colonial ethnic cleansing for subjugated people.
It's incredible that in Canada, it's only activists saying what is plainly true. Instead, we have politicians rushing to expand the programs and business owners calling for more bodies.
This hits hard in Canada too- especially, for me, Rhianna Patrick’s story.
