This APTN panel of Indigenous reporters highlights the governments priority of business needs over the basic human needs of people living in First Nations, especially when it comes to access to clean water. #indigenous #firstnations #onpoli #canpoli youtu.be/KggzNTgqE8o

How can a country claim first world status when it's poorest most remote communities live no differently than those living in less wealthy developing countries? Our communities need to be ensured clean drinking water #indigenous #firstnations #cleanwater #nishnawbe www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

In Isabella Kulak’s home is a box of about a few hundred letters, notes and hand-drawn pictures of ribbon skirts sent to her from across Canada and beyond — fan mail from those who consider her story and the origins of “Ribbon Skirt Day” as inspirational.

And if you want to see an overview of what has happened in the Indigenous world over the past forty years: iwgia.org/en/resources... An amazing resource, free to download. Thank you, #IWGIA and Denmark!

Happy National Ribbon Skirt Day! Honouring the beauty, resilience & teachings carried in every ribbon skirt — and the Indigenous women & girls who wear them with pride. 🧡👗

On this day in 1895, federal authorities imprisoned 19 Hopi leaders at Alcatraz Island on sedition charges for opposing the U.S. government's forced education and assimilation of Indigenous children.

Chevron donated to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration fund. Chevron’s CEO publicly praised trump’s energy agenda. Chevron donations: 94% Republican, 6% Democrat. Chevron is the ONLY foreign oil company allowed to operate in Venezuela. Follow the money.

A perspective of war ... a quote by Carl Sagan .. "Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. " #venezuela #war #universe #nowar www.youtube.com/watch?v=wupT...

The American capture of Canadian news & media (spearheaded by Steven Harper who now conveniently chairs the IDU, a global hub that strategizes to get far right governments elected worldwide) is a major factor in the disinformation that threatens our democracy👇 rabble.ca/columnists/f... @rabble.ca

Chevron had a contract to extract oil in Venezuela, with 50% of sales going to VZ government (main income). That contract is now void. Chevron will soon operate with 100% going to US. China is South America's largest economical partner. China was getting oil from Venezuela. China will be p*ssed.

I dedicated my latest column to the memory of life partner, my friend, my mentor, my everything - Mike McGrath. He not only meant so much to me, he was a great positive influence on so many people. #indigenous #firstnations #love #friendship www.windspeaker.com/under-northe...

Grab your bannock, because we're bringing the tea. I grilled three reporters who’ve been on the frontlines of delayed water legislation, fast-tracked pipelines and a suspiciously drama-free AFN assembly They’ve seen things. They’ve got thoughts. www.aptnnews.ca/nation-to-na... #indigenous #cdnpoli

Carney is now saying he is announcing a joint first ministers meeting next year where First Nations will set the agenda, and he is also committing water legislation will be introduced in the Spring. There is wide applause. #cdnpoli #Indigenous

PM Carney is repeating his stump speech: reassuring consultation, engagement. Noted the #Indigenous Advisory council, plus meeting climate goals. Not much new.Chiefs applauded when he said consent was a requirement. Someone in the back, not sure who, is clapping-trying to restart applause. #cdnpoli

The room which has been half empty largely because chiefs were meeting in regional caucus rooms is now packed. The Prime Minister will be taking questions from chiefs. Many are already lining up at the mics. #indigenous #afn #cdnpoli

Hoooly This is a blow- but he did it the right way. Thomas King admits he is not #Indigenous. I can tell you several journos were investigating- the Cherokee said there were no recods- but in the end King investigated and outed himself. ca.news.yahoo.com/celebrated-i...

This just in: A 90-minute meeting billed as a follow-up to the PM’s First Nations Summit left little room for discussion, says AMC. “Our leaders were invited into this discussion with almost no lead time and no clarity,” said AMC Grand Chief Kyra Wilson. tinyurl.com/erujekt2 #indigenous #cdnpoli

"As many non-Indigenous people taking the tour told APTN News, the point is not guilt, but connection and finding the courage, like Bryce, to speak the truth." A great write up of an important memorial event to the Residential School era. #indigenous #cdnpoli

Ice roads are a sure sign of global warming. I used to work on them 30 years ago on James Bay from my home in Attawapiskat and back then the season went from December to March. In my dad's time it was even longer. Now it lasts about one month for heavy vehicles. #indigenous #climate #firstnations

#Indigenous AFN National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak said AFN was not consulted about appointments to Indigenous Advisory Council or seen terms of reference. She is adamant the Council won't “sideswipe” govt obligations for the free, prior and informed consent of First Nations on major projects.
