Listen to @TheCurrentCBC this morning. While John A MacDonald was a man of his time so too were the 50,000 people in Quebec who protested the unjust trial and hanging of Louis Riel. All people of their period- who had choices. We are the people of this period-choose justly.

There is not a single First Nation government anywhere in Canada that gets to do anything even remotely like this without immediately having the administration of their internal affairs unilaterally re-assigned to a third-party. Brutal double standard to say the least. https://t.co/3oPjpt5BJf

You can either spend ALL (keyword all) your indigenous life fighting the colonizer systems, governments or you can remember we exist outside those colonized systems. That we deserve to build outside colonization, not just move in reaction towards it.

The jury didn't even need the absurd hang-fire defense. If it was an accident, the conviction should have been manslaughter. Instead, a not guilty verdict means the jury thought Stanley was justified in killing Boushie.

@joel_perrurle Same with we ‘only had oral history’ which many ppl think lends itself to mistelling/gossip etc. stories were encoded thru song and dance (much harder to accidentally change), ceremony, law, carvings etc. so much more than just western understanding of ‘oral history’.

[Mr. Orlando @teachorlando]

@mary_mcperson I’ve been feeling the same way lately. Who am I to say what is right and wrong? Things feel lighter when I don’t carry that responsibility and rather, just see things as perspectives

Prime Minister Mackenzie King became the first Canadian citizen on January 3, 1947. Before this date, Canadians were considered British subjects. https://t.co/9TCLKVJkGb

@mary_mcperson I needed to read this! Thanks Mary! Our values are constantly being tested, reflected, and refined, what feels right and what does not changes with age, like a fine wine! But oh boy, I wish that process felt more like drinking wine all the time.

Adding indigenous knowledge into academia is not "decolonizing" or "indigenizing"

It's just adding indigenous knowledge to colonial systems

84% of Native American women experience violence in their lifetime. But outside of Indian Country, few people are aware of this epidemic. It's time to raise awareness and show that these women are #NotInvisible.

[Colin Kaepernick @Kaepernick7]

Today, I was on Alcatraz Island at the Indigenous People’s Sunrise Gathering, in solidarity with those celebrating their culture and paying respects to those that participated in the 19 month occupation of Alcatraz in an effort to force 🇺🇸 to honor the Treaty of Fort Laramie.
