Kate Armstrong @brainchain.ca · 10hEvery year I talk about the village of Teiaiagon on a strategic cliff on what is now Baby Point in Toronto’s west end. And how a village of 4500 Haudenosaunee people was destroyed through targetted trade with settlers who provided infected items. Every year no one gives a shit. 3142
