🇨🇦❕ — Canadian officials are intensifying efforts to deter Indigenous Communities from seeking the development of the capacity to self-sustain. By interrupting the independent livelihoods of Treaty Rights Holders, Lawmakers in Ottawa hope to delay the inevitable end of their genocidal Rule.

⚠️ — Methodically picking & choosing when Provincial & Federal laws apply within Reserve limits— Band Councils openly flaunt their tyrannical authority. Maintaining complete control over the economic development & activity within Reserve Limits helps Band Councils retain a sense of legitimacy.

🚱🚭 — As extensions of the Canadian Govt, Band Councils continue the practice of weaponizing Colonial Law against Indigenous communities & individuals exercising their inherent rights— through deceit & force.

🪤🏴‍☠️ — Colonial Officials seek to control Sovereign Supply Chains (SSCs) & undermine Indigenous economies by force. The Sovereign Collective of Ojibways stands firm: our inherent rights cannot be taxed, dismantled, or denied. The days of colonial control over our territories & economies are numbered.

🌪️⚡️ — Canada may be engaging in deals that look like treaty settlements, but because they are negotiated with Indian Act Band Councils (colonial administrative bodies), their legal validity as genuine “treaty” agreements is questionable.

❌ — The SCO recognizes Band Councils & organizations representing their Chiefs as colonial institutions built to undermine Ojibway sovereignty. ❌ — The SCO rejects any efforts by Chiefs & Councils who wish to secure a portion of the revenue which derives from the destruction of our homelands.

💭💯 — We urge Canadian decision makers to reconsider their reliance on guarantees made overseas— we believe the best response to American aggression would be to strengthen ties with Canada’s closest allies & partners, the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island.

☮️♾️ — Wampum Belts are designed to withstand the Test of Time. Indigenous Nations around the Great Lakes traditionally opted out of using the written word, especially in relation to International Law, as the definition of words are fluid throughout the course of thousands of years.

Sovereign Collective of Ojibways @scojibways.bsky.social · 21/02/2025
📃📌 — This Article of International Law was encoded onto a wampum belt & it signified the co-administration of a defined territory between the two nations. Throughout millennia, this Belt symbolized the historical Anishishinaabe-Onkwehón:we diplomatic relationship & International cooperation.

💬🔊 — The provisions of the One Dish One Spoon Treaty centred around land usage & hunting rights. Instead of compete & potentially heighten the risk of conflict over perceived rights, concerns or shifting national interests, the Anishinaabek & the Onkwehón:we entered into a Treaty Agreement.

☮️💟 — The One Dish One Spoon Treaty between the Ojibways (Anishinaabek) & Haudenosaunee (Onkwehón:we) is an article of International Law which existed for thousands of years. This treaty was agreed upon to define boundaries & Rules of Engagement between the two nations within a shared territory.

🤨⁉️ — We are gravely concerned about the first ‘Indigenous Mortgage’ being approved by TD on Reserve Lands. ‘Indigenous Mortgages’ pose a major risk of encroaching & dispossessing of Indigenous territories. We must condemn this & protect the sovereignty of Indigenous nations across Turtle Island.

🧻🚽 — The Government of Canada’s Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations stated Bill C-53 will not go forward in the House of Commons. Although this is a victory for Ojibwayland, indigenous peoples & the legitimate Metis Nation. We expect further attempts to undermine Ojibway-Crown Treaty Agreements.
