73 acres have just been returned to the care of the Yurok!

It's almost as if the two are connected somehow; probably just a coincidence

Ancient Native American farming practices news!!! I can't wait for more to be uncovered at this site, and for the Menominee tribe to weigh in regarding their history of the region. www.npr.org/2025/06/06/n...

This article lists ways to donate/support wildfire evacuees in Manitoba <3 www.winnipegfreepress.com/featured/202...

NDP MPP Sol Mamakwa hints that the resilience and resistance of First Nations should not be underestimated following the passing of Bill 5 in Ontario. Hear more on APTN News Brief:

In what is being called a ‘watershed moment,’ provincial unions are now coming together to support northern #Ontario First Nations protesting #Bill5. The controversial legislation is expected to pass today. The latest from @jonthompson.bsky.social: ricochet.media/indigenous/w... #onpoli #Labour

This is 10-12 tenure-track assistant professors’ salaries at many places. A whole academic program’s worth of money, pissed away, In Times of Austerity, on rent-a-cops going after students who dared speak. Nobody behind this should have a career.

Happy Anniversary to Ronald Reagan being dead.

They were always going to turn on each other, I'm surprised it took this long tbh.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Paid for a digital land title certificate through an AB website, they took the money then the website had an error. No certificate. 5 - 7 business days for a response via email. On hold with them for 50 min now. Very efficient.

"If you want to fight fascism, go win elections" is part of the problem. If you think politics = winning elections, you're not serving the people when your country is, uh, between elections, and may be for some time if that's your focus. Politics is many things, esp in times of closing civic space.

Surveillance by the security state was a key theme of APTN News doc on #IdleNoMore's emergence. Looks like it's about to only intensify ▶️ youtu.be/VHgGbW6exB4?...

Share your perspectives on surveillance and policing in Winnipeg grocery stores. Take the survey here: redcap.link/wpggrocery

Okay and I just have to share this dorky little thing - I've named the course website "Indigenous Learns" lol.

Just putting this out there - for the Cree course development I'm doing I want to make sure I have a redundancy of back-ups and I really need an external hard drive. So if a sugar settler has some extra sôniyâws (you can learn that word when you take the course!): www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/...

Please help a rad human!

Sorrowful Autumn Weary grief falling like leaves Show me that butthole

Do we imagine *any* of the premiers would, push come to shove, respect Indigenous peoples’ free, prior and informed consent—i.e., the so-called Indigenous veto—as to what happens on their ancestral lands and waters?

Everyone is an expert on someone else's job until they actually have to fucking do it.

Listen - we told you. Yes, getting Carney in over PP was important, but it wasn't the end of things. We're going to have to fight this fucker tooth and nail for the next four years to stop massive overreach and resource extraction on steroids.

Carney is just awful.

I tried micro-planing yesterday because I dunno, it seemed like a thing to do (it's basically a light facial shave for those who don't know) and NEVER AGAIN. It's supposed to help your foundation sit better but now I feel micro-bristly and I hate it. I want my adorable mammalian invisible fuzz back.

Most impressive was the vast geographic and topographical knowledge of cab drivers. They were also sociologists, able to predict the ebb and flow of other travellers.

Settler colonial states gonna do what they do best - colonize, terrorize, extract..ivize?

Feels like we got told to put our #ElbowsUp just to make it easier for them to jersey us

lol wtf is this, Canada's version of the Patriot Act? The Authorized Access to Information Act (SAAIA) compels electronic service providers to "fulfill legally authorized requests to access or intercept information and communications" I guess they are getting ready to criminalize Idle No More 2.0

The worst part of this, other than that he didn’t write the book, is that he killed the term “literary bad boy.” What are male novelists who wear leather jackets supposed to call themselves now?

Trans Americans seek safety in Canada — repression in Trump's U.S. pushing people over the edge and over the border. Journalist @opheliedm.bsky.social speaks to a clandestine #trans network working to find underground pathways, and a trans man who fled to #Canada: ricochet.media/justice/poli...

Almost no one wants to contend with this reality.

‘How do you fight wildfires with a garden hose?’ First Nations in Manitoba are calling on the province and Canada to send emergency equipment to battle fires in northern communities.

Me to me after I cleaned my account out paying rent and bills

All this referendum bullshit is smoke and mirrors to draw attention away from the scandals and horrific mismanagement of Alberta's healthcare system. We have to demand better.

Another year where thousands of people, the majority of whom are Indigenous, are displaced due to wildfires.

Misplaced Trust. Stolen Indigenous land is the foundation of the land-grant university system. Climate change is its legacy. grist.org/project/equi... #Universities #Indigenous #FossilFuel #Climate
