After the decision made by the Newfoundland and Labrador government to limit an Innu history exhibit to 300 years, members of the Department of Archeology at Memorial University released a statement saying the province’s colonial logic of Innu history rests on flawed assumptions.

Maureen Lux is an accomplished historian who specializes in the history of the medical treatment of Indigenous people in Canada.

Her research has found evidence that Canada knew that medical experiments to be done on Inuit were ethically dubious... even by 1960s standards.

My latest is out via Indigenous Insider, link below:

This land was never surrendered. It was shared. Before God. With God watching.

Smith, the separatists, and their leaders can appeal every court ruling. They can fast-track every referendum. They can invoke the Alberta Sovereignty Act and the Critical Infrastructure Defence Act and threaten to arrest every Chief who stands on treaty ground in defense of their people.

But there is an authority they have not yet answered to.

On the river flats at Blackfoot Crossing, in 1877, the Creator witnessed a covenant. At Fort Pitt, in 1876, the Creator heard the promises made — including the ones the Crown’s scribes quietly left out of the written document. At Lesser Slave Lake, in 1899, the Creator heard the word share, even as the English text wrote cede.

A breakdown of what really happened- read/share now.

Woman realizes she was slowly poisoning herself for weeks

After a lot of research it turned out to be the Costco dishwasher pods, many other people reported the same thing

Costco dishwasher pods contain the chemical Benzotriazole, its an industrial corrosion inhibitor that’s not FDA-approved for food contact

I found it’s common in both Cascade and Kirkland, Costco options

It is also an endocrine disruptor

These should not be legal to sell. There are other brands that achieve the same results without these harmful chemicals being used on what you eat off of

From 1967 to 1973, scientists descended on the Inuit community of Igloolik to conduct medical experiments. This included grafting skin from one Inuk to another, leaving lifelong scars. Paul Quassa, former premier of Nunavut, explains that historical trauma left the Inuit unable to say no.

In 1913, construction of the Winnipeg Aqueduct diverted water through the territory of Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, creating an artificial island and isolating the community from the mainland. For decades, Winnipeg received clean drinking water from Shoal Lake while the community itself struggled with an intentional, government-made disaster, made worse by inadequate infrastructure and boil-water advisories.

The story of Shoal Lake 40 is a reminder that Indigenous communities have often borne the costs of development while being denied equal access to its benefits. Let's commit to closing the First Nations infrastructure gap! #NIHM2026

On this day in 1919, the Winnipeg General Strike ended.
Four days earlier on Black Saturday, the police rode into a crowd of strikers and fired their revolvers. It left two dead and 30 injured.
The Winnipeg General Strike forever changed Canada's political landscape.

Happy birthday to Roméo Dallaire, born on this day in 1946!
He was the force commander of UNAMIR during the Rwandan Genocide and is credited with saving the lives of 32,000 people.
Four schools are named for him. He served in the Senate from 2005 to 2014

My latest is out via Indigenous Insider. Link below:
“Community after community told me some version of the same thing: we signed because we had nothing left, because the government had made sure there was nothing left, because the alternative to the deal was more of the same slow erasure. This is what colonial oppression looks like when it reaches its intended conclusion — it backs people so far into a corner that agreeing to potential harm to what remains of your land becomes the rational choice. When you’ve already lost most of what you had, when your people are sick and your language is dying and your water is poisoned, the calculation changes. That, to me, is not consent.”
