That summer became a spark — not just for Indigenous resistance here, but for every struggle against settler colonialism.</p><p>This is the first in a series of drops marking that anniversary.<br>Narrated by my homie Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas, who was there, behind the lines, holding it down. In this one, he breaks down the story of the Warrior Flag — how it went from the Pines to Standing Rock, to Palestine, to anywhere people rise up for their land and dignity.</p><p>The Siege of Kanehsatà:ke wasn’t the end.<br>It was the warning.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kanehsatake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kanehsatake</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oka35" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oka35</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WarriorFlag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WarriorFlag</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LegacyOfDefiance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LegacyOfDefiance</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/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LandBack</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/subMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subMedia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Unceded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Unceded</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoJusticeOnStolenLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoJusticeOnStolenLand</span></a></p>
