About Murder by Decree

Murder by Decree is an #uncensored #record of the planned #extermination of #IndigenousChildren in #Canada’s murderous Indian #ResidentialSchools. It is issued as a corrective #CounterReport to the miscarriage of #justice by Church and State known as the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” #TRC. Based on eyewitness #testimonies and #archival #documentation deliberately suppressed or ignored by the TRC, Murder by Decree proves that the #genocide of #IndigenousPeople began as a religion-led campaign and continues to be a deliberate governmental policy in Canada. This Counter Report reveals these startling facts: – Over half of Indian residential school children began dying the very first year these church-run facilities were opened – This huge mortality rate continued unabated for over a half century because of deliberate practices of germ warfare according to a prescribed monthly “death quota” – Evidence of these crimes and their intentional nature has been continually destroyed by the RCMP and the #Catholic, #Anglican and #UnitedChurch since at least 1960 – The same genocide continues today, is aimed at indigenous women and children, and is driven by foreign corporate interests hungry for #NativeLands and resources Murder by Decree is issued by The International Tribunal for the Disappeared of Canada (ITDC), an international #coalition of #jurists and #HumanRights groups. The ITDC was formed in December, 2015 to investigate the disappearance of people in Canada, prosecute those responsible and prevent a further #whitewash by Canada of its #CrimesAgainstHumanity. This report is an answer to these #crimes and an urgent summons to the world and to all #Canadians to live no longer under #genocidal #regimes.

'#SpacesOfException' #Resistance to the #FatTakers, from #NativeLands to #Palestine

"We might be the ones holding the knife -- but it is the state that is the one who is still killing us." Those are the words of #KleeBenally, in 'Spaces of Exception.'

by Brenda Norrell #CensoredNews
February 21, 2024

"In the Navajo language, there is no word for relocation, it means to disappear and never be seen again."

The film, 'Spaces of Exception,' now being shown around the world, begins on #PineRidge, with the history of the resistance to the 'fat takers,' and travels to the refugee camps of Palestine, before arriving at the land of #AkwesasneMohawk, and the words shared of true sovereignty.

"Then, there are the images of the #OilAndGas, the #fracking, and #coal mining on the #NavajoNation, where #Dine' say the true literacy once known, talking with the #NaturalWorld, is being lost. Now, there is the destruction of the burial and sacred places, as #asthma takes over lives.

"On #BlackMesa, before he passed, Klee championed his relatives resisting forced relocation brought by #PeabodyCoal.

"'Their greatest form of resistance is being who they are' 'The autonomy that we have is here.'"

"'Places of Exception,' begins with scenes from #WoundedKnee 1973, and Palestine refugee camps, and the words, 'Places defined by their historical and spiritual resistance.'

"'The buffalo owns us, we don't own the buffalo,' says #AlexWhitePlume, #OglalaLakota on Pine Ridge, sharing the importance of language, and the stories carried by the words, and the impacts of #genocide.

"'The buffalo shares the same story we share.'

"The film series, 'The Native and the Refugee' began on Pine Ridge with, 'We Love Being Lakota.' The latest film, 'Spaces of Exception,' concludes with the image of the flags at #OcetiSakowin #WaterProtectors Camp on #StandingRock.

"Among those in the series of films are #DebraWhitePlume, who talks about the 'Fat Takers,' and #OlowanSaraMartinez, Oglala Lakota of Pine Ridge, South Dakota, now in the Spirit World. Their bold stance as defenders of the water and people was manifest at the #RedWarriorCamp at Standing Rock, during the resistance to the #DakotaAccessPipeline in North Dakota.

"Spaces of Exception comes out of the long-term multimedia project 'The Native and the Refugee', profiling Native lands in the United States alongside #Palestinian refugee camps, and is directed by #MattPeterson and #MalekRasamny."

Spaces of Exception comes out of the long-term multimedia project The Native and the Refugee. The project has resulted in more than a dozen short films, a book, radio program, writings and numerous lectures and workshops. The Native and the Refugee project has been presented in Canada, Denmark, Ecuador, England, France, Guatemala, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Portugal, Syria, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, within the refugee camps and reservations were the film was shot, and at venues including cinemas, museums, and universities.

Current Native Lands 

U.S. History Introduction

-Tribes hold rights to 326 land areas
-Land dispossession through treaties, ceding of lands, and US occupancy

The U.S. Holds the titles to these lands in trust
-This is different from free lands (like in Oklahoma)

Fascism has no boundaries. Resistance to fascism shouldn't be only focused on US - just because they have more media leverage & have ignored plights of #GlobalSouth ppl who bear most brunts of #GovermentApproved #ecocide on #unceded #NativeLands in Africa & S America, etc.
BC is also unceded native territory & government wants to extinguish that without dealing w/their longtime #cultural #Indigenous #genocide crimes. I don't stutter about this issue & injustices on Indigenous here or elsewhere.

Genocidal indifference to #NativeLands: “It seems that despite its nod to #traditional #ecological knowledge, BLM does not consider relevant the extensive knowledge and expertise we have gained over millennia, living in a way that is so deeply connected to our #environment.”

This #apartheid systems of #governance in the #UnitedStates & #Canada which #deprive #Indigenous people of #EqualRights trace back to #white #colonizers initial arrival on #NativeLands - panelists explained.
Utilizing a principle known as the #DoctrineOfDiscovery - #European powers divvied up the world according to which of them first "discovered" the land, ignoring the fact that #IndigenousPeople were already living there.

East Mitten Butte in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.
 
There are many wonderful views in Monument Valley, but this is one that I particulary enjoy taking my workshop clients to.
 
Monument Valley is sacred to the native Navajo people (the Diné), who call it Tse’Bii’Ndzisgaii (“valley of the rocks”). Each of the buttes and spires has special meaning in their history and lore.

Before anyone (especially white settlers) tries to 'educate' me on #IndianAct in #Canada - pls realize I'm more than a little bit #educated on #Canadian #UglyTruths regarding #Indigenous #FirstNations here. I've fought alongside native #LandDefenders .
Highly suggest #reading #research about past & present #exploitation & #abuses from governments & industry before making ignorant comments about #NativeLands #resourceExtraction & #interconnected #CulturalGenocide issues.

CHAPTER 15
There are some who can live without wild things, and some who carmor.
-ALDO LEOPOLD
-y friend Rain took me to find grizzly bears in the Wait Vals, rains on the east side of Yellowstone National Park. It was Mar
2017. We were fifty miles west of Cody, not far, as it happens, from where Echo the wolf was first radio-collared before she set out on her doomed journey to the Grand Canyon three years earlier. Inauspicious, I though.
I recounted Echo's story to Rain, who replied, "Wolves and bears share the same fate" to be shot if they wander too far from the national park zoos. "That's what white people do," he said.
Rain is a member of the Cheyenne, for whom the grizzly is beloved. In the mythology of the tribes of the Plains and the Northern Rockies, the grizzly is more important even than the bison and the wolf. The Crows, for example, have grizzly bear songs, grizzly dances, grizzly names for their children, grizzly lullabies that women sing to infants. The grizzly to themis a distant relation, an ancient member of the family of man. Plenty Coups the Crow chief, visited the Bronx Zoo in 1913, where he saw a grively ind eageand spoke to it. "You and I," he said, 'are both confined now Batik and genocide for the tribes were not separate events.
Rain, a busy tribal activist, had in recent years spent much ofhisti and energy trying to counter the falschoods and obfuscations ising hi
