Tomorrow is Canada Day, and this year has seen a resurgence in Canadian pride after U.S. President Donald Trump's "51st state" threats. But in some parts of Canada, today has been proclaimed Indigenous Survivors Day. Here's @cbc@flipboard.com's interview with Troy Abromaitis, the Sixties Scoop survivor who created the observance. "By placing Indigenous Survivors Day on June 30, we invite Canadians to reflect before they celebrate Canada Day, and to remember the children who are taken and why this matters," said Abromaitis, a member of the Nlaka'pamux Nation from Lytton First Nation in British Columbia.

I am loving this book. It's ostensibly about #indigenous science #pollution #plastic and #colonialism but it's also about extractive reading and nuance in all things. It's fantastic, and I recommend it to everyone. #PollutionIsColonialism #bookstodon https://www.dukeupress.edu/pollution-is-colonialism

@SnowshadowII The guy is a liar, a grifter and a thug who will roll over anyone and anything to fill his pockets and those of his corporate donors. #Indigenous nations know exactly what a bullsh*tter he is. They've been dealing with lying, cheats like him for centuries.

The USA's history is littered with shameful moments and dark chapters — and in recent years, historical sites have begun to acknowledge this in their communications with visitors. That may be about to change. The Trump administration is now posting signs asking visitors to report historical information “negative about either past or living Americans," the Colorado Sun reports. Last Friday, signs went up at the Amache site where Japanese Americans were incarcerated during World War II, and at the Sand Creek Massacre site where U.S. troops killed peaceful Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho people in 1865. “I interpret it as a direct threat to why we have national parks,” said Tracy Coppola, Colorado senior program manager for the southwest regional office of the nonprofit National Parks Conservation Association. “Definitely a chilling effect on our park rangers, whose job is to tell the story of these places. The Park Service is not partisan, and they represent all of us.”

Trump Cancels Deal With Tribes to Restore #ColumbiaRiverSalmon

Bill C-5 passed quickly and without consultation. It is very destructive to the land, to indigenous rights, to privacy and to immigration. Allowing Canada to deport entire groups of people someone decides are “not in Canada’s interest”. It punches holes in our charter of rights and freedoms, forcing upon us a surveillance state. #canada #HumanRights #privacy #Indigenous #immigration #environment

'Generations of silence are giving way to spoken truth through a new project at Rice University. In collaboration with the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project (TTBP), a nonprofit founded by Lipan Apache leader Lucille Contreras to restore Indigenous foodways and culture, Rice’s Weston Twardowski and a team of students have launched an oral history archive to preserve the lived experiences of Native Texans.'

My latest #ScienceFiction #novel is available in #eBook format!! 💫

It's about two women agents who are highly skilled fighting with blades. While they are undercover in enemy space, they find themselves in need of a new pilot. But they quickly attract attention from the oppressor enemy soldiers, which further threatens their mission.

It is a novel inspired by Western settler #colonialism and the taking of #indigenous land.

Some minorities when they are attacked, have to fight for the abuse to be considered a 'hate crime' more than others....

Before colonization, ‘Vancouver Island’ residents were wandering the mountains. So were the marmots

Energiewende in kolonialer Tradition

Neue Rohstoffe, alte Ausbeutungsmuster
"Verschiedene Länder Südamerikas, darunter Peru und Chile verfügen über große Mengen dieser Rohstoffe. Doch in diesem Kontext entstehende extraktivistische Projekte haben teils gravierende Auswirkungen auf Mensch und Umwelt in den betroffenen Gebieten. Sophia Boddenberg hat die Region bereist und Stimmen aus der lokalen Bevölkerung, von Umweltaktivist*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen eingeholt."

My partner, Beau Wagner, is facilitating a workshop for Moose Hide Campaign Day. There's over 100 participants signed up for his talks & still time to register for his workshop or for the other workshops available to the public.

Moose Hide Campaign Day is a day of ceremony where all Canadians are called to join together to take a stand against violence towards women and children and to take practical steps for our collective journey of reconciliation. Registration is FREE to all participants!

The livestream originating from Victoria, BC. will feature Keynote addresses, along with messages of hope from Co-founders Raven and Paul Lacerte on how we can all work together to end gender based violence in Canada.

You can watch at one of the many community gatherings across Canada, or with family and loved ones via YouTube.

There will be two keynote speakers for the General Plenary, featuring Elain Alec and Michael Kaufman!

Once you register, you will have an opportunity to participate in two virtual workshops via Zoom. Facilitators on a variety of topics will help deepen your understanding of gender-based violence, and empower you with the tools and knowledge to help end this critical issue in our country.

As in common in many Indigenous cultures, fasting is a symbol of commitment, and a way to deepen your intention. We encourage everybody to participate in the fast from sunrise to sunset on Moose Hide Campaign Day.

The Sunrise Ceremony from the East Coast of Turtle Island starts the day with intention. You can watch the ceremony on YouTube when the sun rises in your location.

There will be a livestream of the fast-breaking ceremony where witnesses from across Canada share their experiences from the day.

Under a blue sky and the watchful eyes of the Sierra Madre mountains, Mexico’s first woman president made history on May 8, 2025. Claudia Sheinbaum arrived in Wixárika territory bearing news that generations had waited to hear: the restitution of more than 5,956 hectares (14,747 acres) of ancestral land to the communities of San Sebastián Teponahuaxtlán and its annex, Tuxpan de Bolaños.
