On #ThisDayInHistory in 1885, eight #Nehinaw/#Cree were hanged in #Battleford, #Canada. They had a very short trial, conducted in English with no translation provided and with no defence attorneys. Colonial powers have always broken their own rules to oppress #Indigenous people.
Today is the anniversary of a Canadian atrocity.

Check it out a young #rapper from #TheBattlefords Az-matic. Here's hoping he keeps improving and finds success.
Took this picture of the #FredLightMuseum in the #Town of #Battleford #Saskatchewan. It looks pretty awesome. Closed for the season, it's a pretty cool place.
