The Canadian Encyclopedia asked @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social and I to help set the record straight on the legacy of John A. Macdonald. Rather than unapologetically celebrate Macdonald, we argue he should be remembered, not exalted or emulated: www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/j...

This summer will mark the 35th anniversary of Canada’s violent siege of Kanehsatà:ke and Kahnawà:ke – commonly called the Oka Crisis. Ellen Gabriel became a spokesperson for her community that summer and says it’s time to reclaim the narrative.

When the Pine Needles Fall is now in its 3rd printing after being released just 4 months ago this week. Amazing! Thanks for all your support - and connecting with Ellen’s love for the land and hope for the decolonial future. We need more radical hope these days.
