Mihkkal Hætta addresses the crowd. Hætta has lived in a lávvu (Sámi tent) outside Parliament for a full month to protest the government's refusal to follow Supreme Court in the #Fosen case.

His lávvu was joined by several other lávvus on October 11, on the two-year anniversary of the Fosen ruling.

His words are translated from Sámi to English by musician, actor, author, and one of the #Fosen movement's leaders Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen.

This is going to be unpopular.

I keep seeing people say they're shocked how anti-Indigenous Australia is, and when I go look at their profiles they all have "leftist" written.

You all need to understand what this means for how your leftism is tied in to white supremacy.

If you're shocked to find out that a colonised country is racist, you haven't been listening.

If your leftist selves haven't been listening to Indigenous people on this Stolen Land, you're leaning into white supremacy.

Because a lot of you are new to this conversation, here are some tips about grammar.

- Cap the first letters of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Island, and Indigenous.

- Always type out "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island", don't use ATSI.

- Don't use phrasing like "you people" or "those people" to refer to us.

- If you're talking about a specific Aboriginal group, use the name instead of just "Aboriginal people", because our cultures are not monolithic.

You might see this as just grammar, but it's about respect.

I'm a disabled Indigenous queer person who exists on Jobseeker, which means almost 50% ($269/week) below the poverty line ($489/week).

After living in the same house for almost 10 years, I recently had to move as the new landlords decided to renovate so they could increase the rent.

Moving has cost me over $4000, and ended up putting me almost $2500 in debt.

I didn't get rent assistance for the first 6 weeks of living here because they lost my lease copy and they're refusing to backpay it. So I started the first 6 weeks here adding over $180 a fortnight to that debt as well.

I'm in a new house with a new landlord, and am barely able to make rent at the moment, let alone cover bills and food.

I hate asking, but please consider helping if you can - I'd be super grateful.

Once again #Norway has erupted in #Indigenous and #environmentalist protest- but also something more:
Norway's legal system, the safety of all citizens, is at stake.

The Government has now for two years ignored the Supreme Court's decision in the #Fosen case.

Yesterday a protest camp was put up outside parlament and #Sámi activists entered the building for peaceful protest. They were carried out by police in the night.

During Day 3 the #Fosen activists have blocked the doors of government ministries to protest government's ignoring a decision of the Supreme Court of #Norway. Activists have been forcibly removed by police.

Now, #Indigenous #Sámi tents, lávvus, have been set up outside the royal castle.

As the legislative and executive branches of the state refuse to respect the courts, activists have requested a meeting with the King of Norway.

#ruleoflaw #environmentalism #landback

The King of #Norway has now granted the #Fosen protesters a meeting. In response, the protesters have declared the end of #civildisobedience actions - for now.

These protests marked the two year anniversiary of Supreme Court's ruling in the #Fosen case - in favor of the #Indigenous Sámi, but ignored by the government until the massive demonstrations in February and March this year.

Back then, government apologized and promised to address the issue. Since then, nothing has been done on #Fosen.

Thanks a lot! Have amended the #AltText.

In the meantime, I've found the #turtle photo again and would like to add the following #mythology information from @wikipedia:

"The #WorldTurtle, also called the #CosmicTurtle or the #WorldBearingTurtle, is a #mytheme of a giant turtle (or tortoise) supporting or containing the world. It occurs in #Hindu mythology, #Chinese mythology, and the mythologies of the #indigenous peoples of the #Americas.

My friend was shot by a Trumper in a #MAGA hat at a peaceful #IndigenousRally. Please help.

by RL Miller, September 30, 2023

"I went to Santa Fe, NM this week for a US #ClimateAction Network conference. During the conference we covered #decolonization and how Santa Fe/NM has been stolen from #Indigenous, first by Spaniards and then by Americans. Several of us decided to attend a rally in opposition to re-erecting a statue of Juan de #Onate, a particularly odious Spanish #Conquistador who massacred an entire pueblo and cut off the right foot of every able bodied male Native. His statue was taken down in 2020 by #IndigenousActivists but the county of Rio Arriba was supposed to take up, on 9/28/2023, an agenda item of re-erecting the statue. We #USCAN folk, including my friend #JacobJohns who is Indigenous, showed up to support. It was a lovely, peaceful, prayerful rally. (The county shut down its building and kicked the agenda item over a week.)

"For two hours I observed a Trumper in a MAGA hat harass, troll, and disrupt the rally. Toward the end of the rally, the speaker asked for all the children to gather. At that point the #Trumper tried to charge the group. A scuffle broke out; they pushed him back behind a low stone wall; he jumped over the wall, pulled out a gun, and shot. My friend Jacob took a bullet to the chest, likely intended for the children.
Jacob was rushed by ambulance to a local hospital and airlifted to Albuquerque. He had his spleen removed, but he's young and strong with the heart of a warrior and was in stable condition undergoing surgery last I heard yesterday.
The Trumper was arrested and charged with attempted murder. We all gave statements to detectives, and one of my twitter pix is evidence showing that the Trumper was harassing us for two hours.

"Your inboxes are likely overwhelmed with appeals from political folk, but please do not look away from the political violence in this country. Donate and share this Go Fund Me to support Jacob and his family:"

USCAN is working with local Indigenous groups to amplify their voices, make sure this statue doesn't go up again, and bring the shooter to justice. I will have an additional ask in the coming days; this is an AND, not an OR request. Thank you."

Peaceful #Indigenous protest against colonizer violence ends with colonizer violence.

Would love to hear from any Hispanic ppl (or other non-NDN BIPOC) who denounce this hate and support the NDN call to keep the statues of violent colonizers down.

We need to support each other. NDNs are not "two or three individuals that are not even from this reality.”

Linking this instead of ICT bc it includes lots of anti-Indigenous hate, so you can see what we're up against:
