They called us savages but they were the ones who kidnapped and tortured children.

They called us savages but they were the ones who poisoned the water.

They called us savages but they were the ones who intentionally introduced invasive species.

They called us savages but we are the ones who dug up our children’s bones in their church yards.

They called us savages but they are the ones who taught us to scalp our enemies.

They called us savages but they are the ones who gave us smallpox blankets.

They called us savages but they are the ones who mutilated the sexual organs of our women.

They called us savages but they were the ones who didn’t know, didn’t understand, and refused when we tried to teach them. What more can I say?

Asking for help

OK, I’m not sure if I have a lot of followers from the USA? The thing is my mother and sister live in Connecticut and my sister needs urgent psychiatric care. She’s seen two therapists already who have said she really needs to see a psychiatrist and probably medication. She was referred to a psychiatrist the last time, but they can’t afford it and they don’t have insurance, as they are immigrants. Is there a way to find a low-cost psychiatrist in the US? I have tried several things and contacted even the services in Yale (there are some that are affordable), but they don’t want to see my sister, because they don’t live in New Haven. I have been trying to do this all from my home country because my mom doesn’t speak good enough English like to ask more about it there.

So if anyoney has any ideas, please share them with me, thank you!

Help anyone!!!

Depending on transportation, and far more common in larger cities/towns with universities, I’ve found out about more than one practice that let psych students get experience in the profession by doing low-cost/free work for low income communities. Often tailored to specific groups, like ‘women’ or ‘domestic abuse victims’, but these are usually more guidelines rather than hard rules and can be swayed by simply asking. Ask around, try and find out if there are any similar programs in your sisters area?

A friend of mine posted this and tagged my old instagram account, asking me to share it. I figured sharing it here where I actually have a following, would be far better.

Please remember that just because the government is giving into pressure and greed, that doesn’t mean that any of this is getting any better, in a lot of ways it’s getting worse. And even if you yourself aren’t being as heavily affected anymore, there are people and communities that are.

Stay safe Darling ones, and help others remain safe too.

In 1990 Canada laid siege to sovereign Mohawk territory, in Kanehsatà:ke. With helicopters and tanks and soldiers they showed Indigenous people everywhere how far they will go to steal the land out from under our feet. The Mohawks stood firm and showed the world how strong we are.

It is 30 years since the start of the “Oka Crisis,” and the fires of Indigenous resistance are still burning.

The Mohawks did not start this crisis. It began when the Mohawks were ignored as the true owners of their lands. It continued when the army rolled in with tear gas and rubber bullets. It has continued ever since, every time the state asserts its genocidal force on sovereign Indigenous territories. When we fight back, when we stand up for our lands and our people, we are painted as criminals.

Nothing has changed. Canada is still waging war on Indigenous people.

When we observed the colonial invasion of Wet’suwet’en territory in February 2020, the RCMP took over local communities and transformed them into staging grounds for their siege on our lands. They deployed dozens of militarized police, with dogs, with automatic weapons, with sniper rifles and snow mobiles and helicopters. They spent millions of dollars to arrest a handful of our matriarchs, our relatives, and supporters. They tore down our tower where we stood to bear witness to their violence.

Today we burned the remains of the tower in a ceremonial fire.

We know there is a time to build and a time to burn it down.

30 years ago, the Wet’suwet’en blocked Highway 16 in solidarity with the Mohawks of Kanehsatà:ke. Months ago, the Mohawks stood with us to shut down Canada after our lands were invaded.

We stand united today.

We were born in the fires of resistance, our parents and grandparents and great-grandparents and ancestors fought this fight.

We defend the land for our ancestors, for our children, for future generations.

We will not lose.

Non-Native fishermen have destroyed and stolen thousands of dollars worth of fishing equipment owned by fishermen of Sipekne'katik First Nation. (You know I’d really like to know where are all the people crying over how vandalism in protest might as well be cold-blooded murder now.) This comes in addition to forming blockades and threatening to ram boats. Business across the province denying services to Mi’kmaq in support of these terrorizing acts. Online, people are sharing horrible threats. It is blatant racist violence and discrimination, and the fishermen/media continues to call our people the lawbreakers.

“The gear that we were collecting was what was in violation of the law,“ Sproul said. “There’s nothing more to show that fishermen have the true, just, lawful position here than the fact that we conducted that activity yesterday and nobody stopped us.”

The fact that the RCMP have done jack shit to stop the non-native fishermen destroying Mi’kmaw lobster traps has painted a very clear picture. It’s the same picture that’s been hanging on the wall for centuries, and surprise surprise, flowery talk of #reconciliation doesn’t change that. And the quote above is a perfect example of how fully aware these fuckers are of their privilege.

Anyway someone should tell Sproul that a) the Mi’kmaq have the legal treaty right to hunt, fish and gather for a moderate livelihood, b) the traditional lobster season for our people is in September and October, and c) that the only people breaking the law here is his ignorant ass and his cronies.

Sharing this link again, as it is a very well compiled doc: Ways to support Sipekne’katik First Nation, and resources to educate yourself and share with others. Financial support for supplies is especially helpful right now.

Land Back because the indigenous people and the land evolved together. The Americas (Turtle Island) was NEVER a “virgin”, unused, underutilized landscape. It has always, ALWAYS been cared for, listened to, learnt from by the people who live there. There were trade routes, homes, battlegrounds, grave yards, there were prescribed land fires that shaped the forests and plains. These are only a couple teeny tiny examples.

Land Back because indigenous knowledge is key to restoring ecosystems. And to help us adapt in better ways to the impending changes as our planet warms. If there is hope for our beautiful planet and every being in it (and there is) then it is with anti colonization, indigenous sovereignty and solidarity. The future is Indigenous....

These are surprisingly easy to make and amazing-not-amazing how white evangelicals never seem to mention the huge amount of biblical passages about how the white supremacist capitalist police state they worship is so thoroughly anti-christian

A little boy and his nanny came in today because he’d heard that our nature center had a REAL LIVE TARANTULA. Apparently tarantulas are his current obsession. He was delighted by Michelle and delighted by the “feeding dance” I showed him a video of (which he then mimicked), and cooed and cahhed over the spiderling photos and pictures of brightly-colored ranchos and called them cute/beautiful/adorable.

...but then when he saw a opilione, he recoiled and shrieked “EW!!!”
