World Day of Support for Captain Ibrahim Traoré: "What is happening on April 30, 2025, makes the imperialist tremble" (Prime Minister)

"What the imperialists have forgotten is that 1987 is not 2025. In 2025, the freedom fighters are standing. And we will stand together to defend Captain Ibrahim Traoré... Comrades, more than ever, we must stand. What is happening on April 30, 2025, makes the imperialists tremble," he suggested.

The other part of his message particularly concerned General Langley's accusations against our President. "A few days ago, an individual (editor's note: General Langley) took the liberty of lying in an attempt to demonize our captain. The method is the same as that of 1987, but this time it will not work," the Prime Minister responded bluntly.

April 30, 2025
Dear Premier Smith:
Re: Cease & Desist — Separatist Threats
You are attempting to manufacture a national unity crisis — by enabling a referendum on separatism and a fanatical cell of individuals - at the exact moment when Canadians need to unite against Donald Trump’s America.
The province of Alberta is on Treaty lands.
Please be advised that your irresponsible statements and actions are in breach of Treaties No. 6, 7and 8. We demand that you immediately stand down from this conduct.
Our Treaties are sacred covenants and are to last forever. Alberta did not exist when our ancestors agreed to share the land with the Crown. The province has no authority to supersede or interfere with our Treaties, even indirectly by passing the buck to a “citizen” referendum.
If you or any Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Chief Sheldon Sunshine Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro
Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation Mikisew Cree First Nation

7.5: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Four Great Things We Take for Granted and Ought to Fight to Keep

In these dark times of (American) political backsliding/the general rise of fascism in the Global North, Ariel and Christina consider four things that we'd made great progress on, to the point of taking those achievements for granted. Let's take the time to acknowledge them and the danger we are in of losing them. Because how can we fight for what we don't recognize as being incredible yet fragile?

PS: We definitely didn't plan on this coming out on the day of the Canadian federal election, but so it goes. Go forth and fight the fascists at the ballot box, friends.

New publication, please share

This think-piece makes a case for addressing the colonial roots of sustainability which have led to dispossession and violence, especially for Indigenous and marginalised communities in the majority world. I also focus on the dangers of decolonisation becoming a buzzword without much change in actual practices in ways of working and collaborating

Hey, let’s go back to it, cinema-peeps:
- two westerns I’d not seen before,
- one new biopic on an important figure of #decolonization, very limited but very accessible,
- the new Mike Leigh movie, very striking.

The image displays a selection of four movie posters under the title "Recent Activity." The films featured are "Unforgiven," "Hard Truths," "Fanon," and "The Law and Jake Wade."

I have to have a serious talk with one of my Metis friends on how she needs to do a lot more decolonization work. It's due to her reaction to my annual Earth Day call for #Indigenous #LandBack. She's still very colonial indoctrinated. Her response to any landback statements is: "Every earthling needs earth and land 🌎 happy earth day."

If you still have a #colonial #mindset like this - it tells me that you need a ton more #decolonization work. Landback isn't about making sure ONLY Indigenous peoples have lands. It's about recognizing colonial land theft & the ongoing colonial genocide of Indigenous peoples by colonial capitalists. It's about respect & genuine reconciliation for Indigenous peoples. It is literally the least we can do as settlers on stolen Indigenous lands.

Rita Rato, Víctor Barros and Aurora Almada e Santos at the entrance to the exhibition ‘Before Being Independence, It Was a Struggle For Liberation'. The three of them are chatting around two open books. The author of the photo is José Frade.

Beau used his day off to go hiking up a mountain to do some #CedarBark #harvesting for more traditional #CoastSalish #weaving work.
He sent me photos as he hiked through the forest. These are just the bark harvest related photos with one fairy slipper orchid wildflower photo - he knows my fave colour is purple 🥰

A collage of images showing the process of stripping bark from a cedar tree and its uses. Images include a cedar tree with a long strip of bark removed revealing smooth wood underneath, close-up of hand touching stripped bark, rolled up harvested bark, forest floor scenery consisting of moss, twigs, and a purple wildflower.

This is an amazing quote by Irish revolutionary James Connolly. Very relevant to Americans today.

“We will not blame him for the crimes of his ancestors if he relinquishes the royal rights of his ancestors; but as long as he claims their rights, by virtue of descent, then, by virtue of descent, he must shoulder the responsibility for their crimes.”
― James Connolly

Colonial Canadian governments love Indigenous Band Councils because those were a colonial construct to indoctrinate Indigenous peoples willing to take extra monies to work to divide & conquer, within their own communities. They're modern day #IndianAgents & our manipulative colonial governments love their native puppets.

"Yet here we are, still exporting raw materials like colonial-era vassals while begging for aid from the same countries that profit from our resources."

Africa doesn’t need aid. It needs control over its critical minerals.

I was not born to kneel before any government.
I was not born to appease any politician.
I was not born to uphold the sickass status quo.
I was born to challenge all of the above.
I come from a long line of resistance warriors & will fight for justice for the oppressed humans & non-human living beings, as long as I'm alive to do so.
This is a lifetime personal commitment.
I take it very seriously.

New publication announcement! Lindsay Amundsen-Meyer's critical reflection on the decolonization of archaeology is the most recent addition to the 59th volume of EAZ. The author questions mainstream ideas about the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives and explores whether such efforts may still sometimes be colonial in nature.
