June 21 in Canada 🇨🇦 is #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay, a day to honour the rich cultures, histories and contributions of #FirstNations people, #Métis and #Inuit.
“It has been Canada’s weakness for patting itself on the back for being a great champion of #Indigenous peoples and an upholder of the rule of law and respecter of Indigenous peoples' rights at the same time acting very differently through its legislation and its practice.”
Lateral violence really is unfortunate and sad. Sometimes, anger-inducing. I was just reading a post in a local parents' group about treaty status...someone said that indigenous blood gets "washed out over time, which is what happened to the Metis."
The Metis were never "washed out". We are our own people and our own culture.
It has nothing to do with blood quantum. That is a purely colonial construct.
It still hurts and angers me to hear it.

“It's just asking, well, ‘What would it take for me to be good enough in your eyes? What would it take for me to finally be accepted by my community?’”
Battle of Duck Lake – First Clash (Mar 26, 1885)
On March 26, 1885, the Métis militia under Gabriel Dumont ambushed North-West Mounted Police and volunteers at Duck Lake, Saskatchewan. The Métis won, inflicting 12 deaths and marking the start of open conflict in the North-West Rebellion. 🇨🇦 #NorthWestRebellion #Métis #DuckLake #Canada #Colonization

For those that wish to contribute monetarily to the #mbwildfires, this link will let you contribute to #Metis people displaced by the #wildfires.
Metis are historically and often still #theforgottenpeople. Let's change that.
Prior erasures?
Yes, nothing but prior attempts at erasure all the way down.
We could reframe "History" as a glance at a huge board where children are scrapping + clamoring over each other to chalk up + erase, chalk up + write over...

Alberta's First Nations and Métis have been very clear: our lands are not yours to take. Alberta is covered by five treaties: 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10. Portions of Alberta are also within the Métis Nation's Homelands. It isn't some sort of loyalty to Parliament that holds Indigenous nations to these constitutionally recognized agreements- Indigenous Peoples are tied to the land. #indigenous #metis #firstnations #alberta #canada #treaties #separatistsmith

“These wildfires are spreading so unpredictably, and citizens are being evacuated with little or no notice and no destination in place.”
BLUF: #Canada never ceases to impress. Before the King gave his speech an 18 year old #Métis woman (Morgan Grace) from Manitoba played a Waltz on her fiddle before the collected dignitaries. It was wonderful... such bravery and focus and the tune was ... just right. Give a listen...
Nothing but love from this quarter for our neighbors to the North. <sorry about the ding dong in the white house>
