Indigenous people across the country took part in Idle No More with widespread protests, including teach-ins, flash mobs, round dances, and blockades. Though the law remained in place, the movement showed that when governments legislate without meaningful Indigenous involvement, the consequences can be swift, sustained, and impossible to ignore.</p><p>"Yet, across Canada’s history, Indigenous people have been European settlers’ longest allies. Relations with French settlers led to the birth of the Metis people; First Nations played pivotal roles in British efforts during the American Revolution and the War of 1812. And many Indigenous people volunteered and fought as part of Canada’s contributions to the first and second world wars.</p><p>"Now, Canada faces new threats as the US president muses about making Canada an unwilling fifty-first state while launching a trade war on Canadian goods. But as history has proved, Canada cannot succeed in defending itself as a nation-state without acknowledging and partnering with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousNations</span></a>."</p><p><a href="https://thewalrus.ca/first-nations-warn-carneys-push-to-build-canada-risks-tearing-it-apart/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thewalrus.ca/first-nations-war</span><span class="invisible">n-carneys-push-to-build-canada-risks-tearing-it-apart/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CanPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CanPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MarkCarney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MarkCarney</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoMiningWithoutConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoMiningWithoutConsent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDumpingWithoutConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoDumpingWithoutConsent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstNations</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousNews</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousResistance</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a></p>

@Windspeaker .... words spoken by First Nation Youth leader 25-year-old Kohen Mattinas, of Lac Seul FN. They were great to interview and I was surprised and filled with so much hope in talking to these young activists and advocates. The future is looking bright if our communities include such bright young people representing youth, Elders, the land, the water and our people.

🇨🇦 🙄 Please, would someone explain to this selfish, narrow-minded, settler OneBC Leader Dallas Brodie, that racism against settlers is not a valid argument! The folk holding all the power complaining about racism! Really?! Who is the racist here?

"..Brodie says private property rights are fundamental to “human flourishing” adding the decision threatens the future of B.C. by establishing what her party calls a “racist, two-tiered constitutional framework that divides Indigenous and other Canadians.”
