If one Canadian does not know that they are the treaty partners “living in freedom” because of First Nation benevolence then they are not learning how this land came to be settled. If there is federal legislation called the “Indian” Act, then there is a problem. The laws of this land (apparently made for the good governance of all) are systemically racist. Instead Canadians lap up Trudeau government lies about reconciliation and rights recognition acts as somehow exonerating their government, their system and their history of inflicting harms and genocide for generations. After generations of ignorance and being taught historically one-sided stories, Canadians can’t seem to hear the truth. In two trials, both Cindy Gladue’s and Barbara Kentner’s trials body part examinations have Indigenous women depicted as specimens rather than human beings.Ĭanadians do not want to hear about wrongful First Nation treatment. These First Nation Indigenous people were treated as less than human. We have the story of Betty Ann Osborne, Neil Stonechild and the Starlight tours, Cindy Gladue, Colten Boushie, Tina Fontaine, Adam Capay, and most recently Barbara Kentner, who have all been victims in a systemically racist “justice” system. We have stories that may be greater atrocities then what happened to Mr. ![]() In Canada, while onlookers were horrified at the reality show emerging in the United States, they were careful to always reassure themselves that things are “not that bad in Canada.” We do not have a “George Floyd” story.Ĭanadians need to be educated on First Nation Indigenous stories. The lack of understanding of First Nation peoples limits our humanity. The lack of understanding of First Nation viewpoints limits our freedom. The constant need to define First Nation Indigenous thinking after five hundred years is getting tedious and tiresome. It is necessary to state that the original people are the landowners because if it is stated that First Nations are landholders or stewards, then that wording becomes a refutable fact for mainstream to undermine. The Indigenous are still seeking freedom from genocide and freedom from governmental control.įirst Nation Indigenous people are the descendants of the original land owners/holders in North America. Well, because First Nation Indigenous peoples are still seeking freedom from oppression. However, regardless of this “win”, First Nation Indigenous people throughout the world still have more reserved or cautionary optimism versus outright elation about any “world leaders” who emerge as defenders of “freedoms”. Indigenous people were instrumental in Trump’s defeat, voting in key “swing” states south of the medicine line (border) in great numbers. Last week, I heard part of the Wizard of Oz song “Dingdong the wicked witch is dead”, replaying over and over, in my head, … when Donald Trump lost his presidency.
