@PharaBoard Lies lies lies. Songhees nation settled to give up James Bay, cadboro Bay and the land the parliment sits on, in exchange for replacement lands...almost 20 yrs ago. Discovery has been Songhees reserve land for over 100 yrs #explorevictoria
@ErenM78 "GIVE AWAY" is a lie. The songhees nation gave up the James Bay, cadboro bay, and the land the parliament sits on in exchange for replacement lands. Discovery island has been Songhees nation reserve land for over 100 years. #explorevictoria
@NVanCaroline Your lying, manipulating, or your just plainly uneducated on the subject. The word "give" is incorrect. You cant give away whats legally owed to someone. Indigenous people were excluded the same land grabs your families recieved to farm, enterprise, and get rich from. #victoria
@NVanCaroline "Give away" is misleading and a lie. This lady doesnt know what she's talking about lmao. Discovery island has been songhees reserve land for over 100 years. The government isnt giving away land. The Gov't owes for land given in James Bay and Cadborro bay #explorevictoria
I recommend this incredible and important film to everyone.
Especially the growing number of newly Independent B.C. MLAs whose outrageously racist comments hurt people and take our province backwards. #BCPoli
In #victoriabc we have political leaders that propagate false racist beliefs which result in the continued racism and discrimination directed toward indigenous people. These attitudes go from homes to classrooms and continue the harm , hurting our youth

@CTVNews Support the rebuilding of indigenous life, culture, & language...if you cant see the crimes against humanity suffered by indigenous children for generations then your perspectives and values align with those who committed those crimes against children...my dad is 1 of those kids
@brettachapman The general idea of wanting to help in some way is cool but that supremist tone has got to go. Sharing the onoculations for diseases that were available would have helped avoid the mass genocide that happened. Thus also reinforcing the partnerships rather than genocide
@kdeveryjacobs@Jeopardy The R*c*ist Canadian M*rd*ring Pigs were the ones that enforced the culturally genocidal assimilation policies of human trafficking 100's of thousands of indigenous children from their hometown the assimilation camps labeled as "schools" #indigenous#canada#residentialschool
Can the non-Indigenous world F off with these projections of their world and perspective onto us. Who even says this sh*t. Sorry, no I didn't rape and kill woman and children to gain back the land that non Indigenous people raped and killed woman children for @AnthoneySoprano
