The other threads either move too fast, aren't really penitent, or just loving dumb. There should be a thread to talk about Indigenous people's struggles in the world. Currently the US Navy is poisoning the people of Hawaii.

They always tie their identities to some major event that happened for the tribe they are cosplaying as. It's so gross.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

well the RCMP were explicitly created to brutalize indigenous people so that was just business as usual for our hero cops

We are the settlers so the anti-colonial struggle will always take a psychic toll. The proper response is still gratitude.

Anyway, I’m fascinated by the broader environmental movement’s strategy of relying on indigenous peoples for legitimacy. Not really sure what to make of it yet. Lots of moving parts.

In the US they had to make a law because Indian kids were being put into the adoption/foster care system at an extremely higher rate.

Of course, the supreme court overruled a lot of what this law was attempting to protect.

Thomas King has a great lecture of all the ways Canada and the US have tried to define “Indian”, and one of the main US laws has to do with certifying what tchatchkas are allowed to be sold as “authentically Indian.” The name of the lecture is What Is It About Us You Don’t Like? It’s from his Massey lectures.

I remember that happening and this paragraph of the article is very on point:

quote:

An RCMP press release issued soon after the incident focused on the driver’s apparent impatience and suggested that the incident was not related to the cause of the march. But witnesses described the man using racial slurs and telling participants to “get over” residential schools prior to accelerating his truck. One witness said the driver threatened to run her over.

The inevitable is already happening. The indigenous nations that were being "used" for years and years by the environmentalist movement have leveraged the environmentalist movement as useful idiots and leveraged the situation to further their land title claims to take control of the resource exploitation in question. Now the government has recognized that the First Nations are their allies so long as they're the ones able to exploit the resources on their lands and so are supporting the First Nations in telling environmentalists to gently caress off.

lol

quote:

Pacheedaht First Nation asks old-growth protesters to leave its territory

A Vancouver Island Indigenous group says it’s time for protesters opposing the logging of old-growth trees in its traditional territory to leave.

The Pacheedaht First Nation’s land includes Fairy Creek, a pristine watershed near Port Renfrew that has been the centrepiece of a battle between anti-logging demonstrators who have set up blockades and forestry company Teal Jones.

A court-ordered injunction was served to protesters last week ordering the dismantling of the blockades so that Teal Jones could resume its work, but so far they have defied the order.

In a statement released Monday, the Pacheedaht First Nation said its constitutional right to make decisions about forestry in its territory must be respected, and that it does not welcome “unsolicited interference,” including third-party activism.

...

B.C.’s Forests Minister Katrine Conroy also weighed in on the controversy surrounding the area after seeing the statement.

“I really hope that the protesters at Fairy Creek respect the Pacheedaht’s request to allow them to do the work that they need to do on their integrated resource and stewardship plans, so I really hope that they respect that,” said Conroy.

Probably the closest we come these days is Idle No More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_No_More

There are some institutional associations to represent First Nations people in Canada, like the Assembly of First Nations, but my impression of them has been that by this point they're too integrated into conventional power structures to be at all radical.
