Ever noticed how 'Indigeneity' functions as the only racialized category that has also "somehow" come to signal inherent accessibility/openness to...everyone? See phrases like "everyone is indigenous to somewhere"/"we were all once indigenous" as opposed to the special "closed circle" function of

Did you know Orange Shirt Day / National Day for Truth & Reconciliation still isn't a public holiday in some provinces, like Alberta & Saskatchewan? Which means the government officials who do the colonization get the day off but their Native workers don't & have to keep serving them as they shop?

If Canadians are serious about "Truth and Reconciliation", they should stop supporting Israel's livestreamed genocide of Palestinians. It's hard to take Canadians seriously when they can't even acknowledge the basic truth that from Turtle Island to Palestine, colonization is a crime.

I think one of the most persistent illusions people in Europe are under is that "we already know." We already know about the atrocities done to Indigenous Peoples. We evoke this "history" so often. Anecdotally, to make an argument about sth. else. Especially with regard to Turtle Island, many are...

Images of white supremacists demonstrating near a former residential school in Kamloops have sent a chill across the country, just days before the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. An expert on extremist groups called it disturbing but not surprising.

Is it just me or does Carney's speech to Europe sound like it's plagiarized from Indigenous sovereignty rhetoric? Not all of it obviously, but the bits about sovereignty sound very familiar, like they are chatbot outputs. Starting with this: "Our bonds are deeply rooted in our lands." o rly

this article thankfully doesn't cite the hype literature that pretends we can 'braid' Indigenous knowledges into AI...and for this I am grateful. As I've said on other platforms, we cannot ethically 'braid, bridge, or weave' to systems/structures intent on the death of Black + Indigenous peoples.

It's about time experts on the topic(s) replaced the nth posturing of shock & disgust about how democratic leaders could tolerate this with some grit & clarity: our liberal institutions have merely succeeded in repackaging the content of Rubio's speech in more liberatory-sounding moral verbiage.

There's no contradiction between being a huge multicultural multilingual country and being a white ethnostate. Look at Israel and Canada (which are in part reflections of the US), they're both at the same time. Nations and states aren't the same thing, otherwise 'nation-state' would be redundant.
