In response to the #GhostDance, an #AntiImperialist ritual, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1890 at the #StandingRock reservation, US agents assassinated #TȟatȟáŋkaÍyotake, aka #SittingBull of the #HunkpapaLakota. Seven other villagers were killed. The US is built on #IndigenousGenocide.

Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.

We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

Large orange sign with a stylized black and white Namgis First Nations art eagle, holding a building labeled "1929" above a field of skulls. Text at the top reads "j'tustolagaris," and at the bottom, "Awilagila xanis Sasam Every Child Matters" with handprints to the left. In the foreground, a faded white teddy bear with folded wings sits in an old, worn Converse sneaker, resting in dry grass.

Large, orange, wooden t-shirt shaped memorial, inscribed with the number 215 formed by handprints, the words "Every Child Matters," and "Wila Mayam Xida Gang'a'nam" against a cloudy sky and grassy foreground.

In Canada, the histories of residential school survivors are being challenged by a surge of denialism. Dismantling Denialism confronts those attempts to rewrite history — and explores what it will take to defend truth and reconciliation.

3️⃣ Europeans unleashed a brutal campaign of extermination. The Selk'nam were hunted like animals, shot on sight. Bounties were offered for their dead bodies — reportedly 1 British pound per head. Women fetched even higher prices. #IndigenousGenocide

"Indigenous Agriculture in North America & American Genocide
How did indigenous people in North America die in such large numbers? Was it genocide, or was it their weak immune system?"

Interesting conversation with the #Democratic candidate for #Canada in upcoming elections.
I wonder what his plan is for the ongoing oppression of Canada's own #indigenouspeople, hearing him whimpering about calling for a'ceasefire' in #Gaza early on since Oct. '23. Early? That genocide has been going for 70 yrs now, your own, however, for hundreds of years. #residentialschools #indigenousgenocide #reparations #colonialism

@LiberationistMA One reason there is so little taught in US schools about our own history: Reconstruction, Jim Crow, Gilded Age, eugenics, is that US industrial growth was the practice ground of fascism. The early 20th century international fascists learned from the policies of Henry Ford, John D Rockefeller and the politicians they controlled. There are some major lessons suppressed.
