Full support of corporates to control and colonise Adivasis through education, so that it gets easier to grab their land in future

Stepping Up for Indigenous Culture & Knowledge

An online discussion on Indigenous Residential & Factory schools
17th February, 2024 
5:00PM India | 7:30PM Philippines | 6:30AM Canada

Policies of assimilating, ‘mainstreaming’ or 'de-tribalising’ Indigenous communities by placing their children in boarding schools has been increasingly discredited and abandoned, most publicly throughout North America, Canada, Norway, Russia and Australia since the 1980s and 1990s. In India, this history and its dangers are little known, with relatively little awareness of how they are being replicated among many of India’s Indigenous communities. Education or rather formal school-induced assimilation had been evolving slowly and hence invisibly in India but this has now reached mammoth proportions in the Indian subcontinent, more than in any other Asian country.

IPLLK Collective, IPMSDL and Kairos will host a two-hour webinar on ‘Sharing community experiences of the impacts of residential and factory schools on Indigenous children from Canada, Australia and India and a sharing of experiences of community learning initiatives from the Lumads of Philippines’.

He was picked up from Lanjigarh weekly market along with Bari Sikoka while they were making purchases for the upcoming 9th August World Indigenous Peoples’ day. Bari Sikoka was let-off on 7th August while Laskey was presented before the SDJM and sent to Rayagada sub-jail. He was falsely accused of gang rape. He was released on 8th February after he was acquitted by the district sessions judge, following a trial of 2 months in which the woman who accused him of rape and all the other 3 witnesses stated before the judge that no such incident had ever happened. Laskey was also given bail in 3 other cases relating to unlawful assembly, rioting, etc.

He too was falsely accused of attempt to murder of police inspector, unlawful assembly, etc, for a peaceful protest that the Niyamgiri Surakshya Samiti (NSS) members had organised on 6th August 2023 before Kalyansingpur police station to demand the release of the two abducted NSS leaders Laskey Sikoka and Bari Sikoka. After rejection of his bail by the district judge Rayagada, he was given bail by the high court of Odisha.

#Hasdeo में वनों की अवैध कटाई के विरोध में संघर्ष जारी है। आज हरिहरपुर धरना स्थल में सरगुजा पुलिस और सरकार की दमनात्मक कार्यवाही, आंदोलन के लोगों को गिरफ्तार करने उन्हें नज़रबंद रखने के विरोध में रैली निकाली गई।✊✊

We are getting information that a huge battalion of police with JCB machines is forcefully trying to go to the hilltop of #Majhingmali.

They are planning to go to Kalagaon village to construct roads up to the hilltop. The women and mothers have put blockades on the village roads and are on vigil. There is a constant fear of arrests in the villages. It has been nearly three months now since villagers are facing this on an everyday basis.

Nearly 500 women are sitting right now at the junction road leading up to Majhingmali Hill.

Villagers want journalists to visit the area immediately and report on the ground situation.

URGENT: Heavy police force has surrounded Todgatta and protest leaders are being searched and harassed!

Today early morning, police forces from multiple thanas arrived at Todgatta, the main protest site, and took all the protest leaders and important activists.

This is how India's Hindu supremacists continues to rewrite our history and manufacture an imaginary past. We reiterate the direct complicity of ANTHROPOLOGISTS in this dangerous "decolonisation" project. Shame shame @ignca_delhi @ansigoi @icssr @MinOfCultureGoI

The 2nd Public Hearing, required to obtain the env clearance for Sijimali bauxite mining project of Vedanta, met with equal resounding opposition from villagers. It was held on Oct 18 at Kerpai High School premises in Thuamul Rampur block of Kalahandi, Odisha. ✊

[Indigenous Peoples' Land Life Knowledge Collective @IndigenousLLK]

Rayagada police and admin have been atrocious on people of the proposed mine areas to help Vedanta in the upcoming 'public hearing' of the bauxite project scheduled on Oct 16, 2023. A report on why people are demanding cancellation of the hearing in an atmosphere of terror. 👇👇

Odisha is ‘the best kept secret’ for no one to know about the state repression and corporate loot happening through anti-tribal policies.

@fiscalsavvy @Jyotsnasmailbox Stooping so low that you have to dig out an old tweet in a current scenario completely unrelated to it only proves how jealous people are of her.

🗒️‼️‼️📢📢
An urgent call for the media fraternity to bring the violent crackdown on democratic anti-mining movements in Niyamgiri and Sijimali (Odisha) to the limelight and expose the gross human rights abuse unleashed by the Govt of Odisha at the behest of mining corporations.
