Went to the #HudsonBayCompany closing out sale expecting to find a deal & there is none. Basically taxes off is all. If #HBC is the sign of things to come then we can start celebrating cause if the number one colonizer corp can’t make it neither can North American colonization

It is tiresome.
Predictable
And boring
Liberals gather in Ottawa to chose next white person to lead party

The ever present white male supremacy is not finished apparently. It can’t be KKKanada without one can it? Can’t maintain the oppression of First Nations without one. Ever sick! What can we do? Keep being deadly I suppose, ride out another white out.
BREAKING: White male to lead Canada’s Liberal party

TO BE CLEAR: It is NOT harmful to ask an indigenous person who their family is. It is a protocol & one of the first questions we ask & get asked! It's how we establish kinship & our community ties with one another. It's our identity. It's who claims you & who you claim. We are proud to share that

Planning an inter dimension, multigenerational photoshoot on the land next week. I am excited. We are practicing our crafts. Lifting other folks up with me.. Creator is favouring my choices these days as I continue gathering gifts on the land my ancestors left for me. I am not done in the marsh yet

Dear #Alaska #Washington #Oregon #California #BritishColumbia

Please consider establishing a third country. One that is led by First Nations folks with allies who prioritize the environment.

It’s time to evolve.

Not interested in cattle call competition type “awards”anymore and neither should you. It prevents these award organizations from doing the work of getting to know communities on the ground instead of letting “peers” pick and choose who is more deserving based on a CV.

If I were at the table I’d be pointing fingers at this treaty and forcing all colonizers to address this forgotten fact of the treaty after the war of 1812.

“First Nations and Métis communities sided with the British during the war because they shared a common goal: to resist American expansion.”

Dinner out at Original Joes. I haven’t had a normal get asked out for dinner in ever. I clearly have been around the wrong men my whole life.

TBH:

I think the internet is at its end.
Folks are going to still use it however
I was slow to join Amazon and now I’m going to dump it. I don’t even know if I will go back to eBay for shopping. I don’t want to support the oligarchs

In colonial history the stories remembered were written by others. In this era the voice telling the stories that are not digitized is lost to the wind. If the ancestors are omnipresent than it is feasible they send digital messages. My job is to map a trail through the digital frontier to them

The Big Chief my granny Mary Abel said in one of her oral histories passed down from her fathers father to her, the one way down the end of the river. They found a whale bone in the Okanagan Lake in the late 1800 that was stolen.
