@cbcnews @british-columbia-cbcnews Maybe if the #BCNDP didn't continue to roll over #INdigenousRights and title, #humanRights, and #UNDRIP, the courts wouldn't have to be in the driver's seat?

#FlashbackFriday
Autumn 2021.
Warming up & chatting with #HereditaryChief Sonny Wallas (David Hanuse), Chief Ye-kue-klas of [Gwat’sinuxw (Quatsino)] nation.
He was sharing with me about feeling bullied/outnumbered by band council folks who are dishonouring their ancestors/betraying Creator & his work with culture & language preservation.
Wallas’s great-grandfather was James Wallas—coauthor of #Kwakiutl Legends. He was the former hereditary Chief of the Quatsino #FirstNation of the Northern #VancouverIsland #Kwakiutl.

Today, November 19, 2025, we mark two significant advances in our struggle for the recognition of our rights:
Obtaining a copy of the lease – provided by the colonial administration, but received UNDER FULL RESERVATION OF RIGHTS AND UNDER EXPRESS PROTEST. We neither accept nor legitimize their jurisdiction; we must continue documenting and challenging their system.
Complete administrative response – including the requested account statements. Every exchange serves as further evidence of our resolve and our unwavering determination. Each colonial document is now integrated into our sovereign counter-archive. Every email, every attachment, every reply becomes part of the living memory of our resistance.
Yet we must remain vigilant: nothing is resolved. A hearing before the TAL remains scheduled for December 9, 2025. An attempt to terminate the lease is underway. The colonial threat is real and ongoing.
Please share this update and circulate this information widely. For now, our collective vigilance remains our strongest weapon.
Stay awake. Stay united. Stay sovereign.

To fix the climate, simply empower #Indigenous people
by Kiki Taufik, 10 Nov 2025
"Climate change is the defining issue of our age. While nations search for complex technological solutions at this year’s high-stakes climate meeting in the Amazon city of #Belém, a simpler yet powerful answer has been waiting in the wings. I saw it firsthand in the forests of #WestPapua’s Bird’s Head Peninsula in the company of #IndigenousYouth from the Amazon, the #CongoBasin, and #Borneo.
"They showed me a truth that the world has been overlooking: one of the most effective climate solutions lies in empowering Indigenous people.
"In this way, we can prevent an immense amount of carbon emissions from #deforestation and preserve priceless #biodiversity and all the benefits we reap from it. It’s a strategy that more than pays for itself."

I pull this #meme out often, regarding the government's partnership with ecocidal corporations to exploit more unceded Indigenous lands. It's how #Canada really puts the #RECON in #reconciliation.

“There is a general reluctance to interpret free, prior, and informed consent as anything beyond a procedural duty to seek (not necessarily obtain) consent — and to equate the standards set in #UNDRIP with the existing Canadian legal standards.”
Everyday we honor them. Today, for us settlers especially, is a day 2 reflect on how we can integrate reconciliation with our behavior & lives for the next year. How can we become active, physical vehicles for enacting decolonization within & without?
