@Luminato #GIVEITALLBACK

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

@Luminato A4: A return. Of land, of children, of language, of ourselves. The rest will follow.

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

@Luminato My next generation responsibilities include being the support that I had (or didn’t have) to younger people in my life, model consensual relationships in community and interpersonally, keep learning and growing. #LETSGOBACK

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

@Luminato I don’t actually think social movement or Indigenous resurgence is linear like this... would love to go back and learn more, maybe warn some folks about imminent doom etc.

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

@Luminato Other relationships that would also be useful: accomplices, land defenders, property redistributors, fundraisers, friends, intervenors, witnesses, care takers, dish washers - so many ways to show up for people. #getourbacks

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

@Luminato As many Indigenous folks have pointed out before ally is a term do war, which is accurate, but we also need consensual relationships that are reciprocal. Not self declared allies who have no accountability

Q2 - 'Feminist ally' is a term that's been getting a lot of attention lately. What's your own personal definition? #NOGOINGBACK https://t.co/q5xWt9Uqk8

We're focusing on the past, present & future of #feminism with a Twitter Q&A that features some of our incredible #NOGOINGBACK panelists and committee members https://t.co/4lWZv315lN

@Luminato In terms of ANCESTORS and inter generational convos - undoing and unlearning all the messed up gender stuff residential schools, forced assimilation, and religion that were violently imposed on our communities, also challenging.

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

@Luminato Not sure I would own them as predecessors but if we’re talking about western feminism then yes the basics that colonialism is genocide and Indigenous peoples experiences are real - all continue to be difficult 🤷🏽‍♀️

White people when they tour the Rez with a non profit org and wonder why everyone’s staring at them while they view the destruction of their colonialism https://t.co/3jgmRd5Uu1

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

The ‘Most Authentic Indigenous Experience’ you ask? The constant feeling of disappointed but not surprised in literally ever colonial institution. #kindermorgan #TruDONT

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

Pretty pumped for the Toronto album launch with @WilliamsonTara #songstokeepuswarm

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

@Metis_In_Space yes yes all going according to plan *maniacal laugh*

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

@Metis_In_Space @ndnarts thanks!

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

@WilliamsonTara the power of laughing at settler colonial fuckery with a smile and a laugh (at ourselves and at settlers) is an art form

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

Dreamy people being larger than life @ndnarts #atotem @Metis_In_Space

[Krysta Williams @Krysta_jw]

Thnx to everyone and organizers who came out last night to celebrate the launch of @betasamosake new album as part of #atotem @ndnarts
