Here are some photos of Indigenous people in Alberta: (Captions are from the source and link to source)

Indigenous People on Horseback circa 1930 (South Peace Regional Archives)

Indigenous Pack Train, circa 1942 (South Peace Regional Archives)

George Nicol and Charlie with Indigenous Girl, 1913 (South Peace Regional Archives)

Two Indigenous Women and Mr. George, 1949. Image shows two Papago Indigenous women standing near Mr. George, (South Peace Regional Archives)

Three Indigenous Women and Mr. George, 1949. Image shows three Papago Indigenous women and a small child standing near Mr. George. (South Peace Regional Archives)

Note: Papago/Tohono Oʼodham are not an Albertan group, but these photos were archived in Alberta and thus included in this list. Indigenous Man with Dogs, 1942-1943. Image shows an Indigenous man standing outside in the snow with two dogs. The caption on the back of the photograph says “Eskimo + his dogs.” (South Peace Regional Archives)

These are just a handful of the photos available on Alberta On Record. Most photos that are preserved in archives come from European settlers, who often did not record the names of the people photographed. Some photos include the name of the group the individual belonged to or the persons occupation.

Many photos were originally described using terminology that many FNMI people would not use to describe themselves, and would consider offensive. It is important to recognize that these descriptions have remained to show the original context in which the artifact was created, but many archives (including the South Peace Regional Archives) are working with Indigenous groups to recontextualize these artifacts and provide culturally accurate descriptions.

the cognitive dissonance displayed in some posts about palestine by white americans etc is absolutely fucking astounding. i really really need you to understand that the horrific genocidal process of land expropriation we are witnessing in sheikh jarrah is how all of israel was settled, how every settler colony was established, and that that violence and theft are ongoing not just in occupied palestine but where you live. in the united states and canada and australia and new zealand and new caledonia and french polynesia and the french antilles and and and. and that if you don't understand settlerism, the ideology behind it and the mechanisms through which it is enacted; if you do not see the material connection between standing rock and gaza, you cannot be effective allies to palestinians because you do not actually understand what is happening in palestine. that the dispossession and murders have an end goal, and it is the establishment of a colonial state that looks like yours. of a country where natives don't exist, or exist in such minuscule numbers that large scale resistance becomes impossible. the end goal is annihilation. what appears like "senseless" brutality does have a purpose, and it is a purpose that is fundamentally incompatible with the existence of palestinians. and when you see pictures and videos from jerusalem, you need to remember that the land you are standing on was and continues to be settled through the same processes. not so that you can feel useless guilt, not to derail from the urgency of the situation in palestine; but specifically so that you can contextualize the genocide of palestinians and where it fits in the colonial timeline. so that you can understand talks of two state solutions and nuance and "both sides" the same way you understand manifest destiny and unceded land and one-sided treaties. and so that you can finally develop an internationalist political approach to indigenous struggle and liberation and imperialism, and start fighting the correct enemies where you live in the belly of the beast, because that is what you have to offer and what will help colonized people everywhere.

i would love to see modern british people try and build stonehenge today. they couldn’t. whatever it took for them to build something like stonehenge has been completely lost over time

female-malice

Not lost over time. Lost to Christian forces eradicating traditional saxon culture.

niedopalek

well if you’re gonna be serious on my funny post i have to inform you that stonehenge was built 3600 years before the Saxons first set foot in england

Lahore Armour from the Sikh Empire dated about 18th-19th Century on display at the Royal Armouries in Leeds

This armour is typical of those used in Northern India in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. The mail shirt is of butted mail formed of iron and brass links in a geometrical pattern. The quilted lining of a the mail shirt, covered in green silk, is a rare survival on this armour. The helmet has a matching lining, covering the inside of the whale aventail. The cuirass of four plates (chahar a’ineh) is decorated in gold overlay (koftgari) and lined inside with red silk over cotton padding. The matching arm defences, called dastana, have padded hand defences embroidered with gold thread.

The helmet retains its original plumes made of heron feathers. Helmets amongst Sikh soldiers were rare prior to the early 19th century.

One of the three oldest accounts of Sikh armour like this comes from the Sri Gur Panth Prakash written by Rattan Singh Bhangoo in the 19th century. Chronicling a battle with the Afghan Ahmed Shah Durrani, who invaded the Punjab, he describes s Sikh soldier, Sukha Singh, arming himself to fight a Pathan:

Remarked Sukha Singh, “Blessed are you, my dear boy, Now see how I deal with that audacious Pathan?” With these words Sukha Singh sent for his steel armour, And covered his head and hands with steel helmet and gloves.

Prior to the late 18th century it is thought that helmets amongst Sikh soldiers was rare as most wore Turbans. Rattan Singh describes the martyring of Gurbakhsh Singh and his 30 Sikhs at Amritsar in 1764 and emphasises their lack of armour compared to the Pathans they were fighting:

On the other side had Gilja Pathans made elaborate preparations, As they had heard about concentration of Singhs in large numbers. Gilja Pathans had covered themselves with steel helmets and armours, But Singhs had hardly any armours to protect themselves.

Some early 19th century paintings of Sikh soldiers and battles support this. They are depicted with no helmets and mainly just armoured plates to protect them in combat.

None of you fuckers will compare the farmers attacking red fort on republic day to the digusting peices of shit trumpies who attacked capitol hill. The farmers are fighting for their future. The situation is ongoing so i dont have all things noted rn;

But the capitol hill attack by american white supremacists was a threat to show off their willingness to not comply to a more tolerant world. The police helped them. Going out of their way ready to kill so they do not loose their 'freedom'

The angry farmers you are watching have been peacefully protesting for about a month. They feed india, their anger with the govt is right and comes from a place of betrayal.

The racists at capitol hill were angry that they will be now held accountable for their doing. Our farmers are fighting for their kids and family, those fuckers at capitol were threatening the country because they cannot be white supremacist freely anymore

Tumblr and all of social media is wildly americanized, read what is happening, do not fucking dare to call the farmer protests 'india's capitol hill moment'.

NOTE: i am not saying who is right or wrong. Both sides are at fault here. It is not as black and white. I support the farmers, the situation is very tense rn and i do not have all of the imp info as modi govt cut off the fucking internet in the protesting areas. Fucking classic move. I do not know whether the farmers are fully right or wrong. Yes they didnt follow routes, but it was not a task to be done, this rally. We need to understand their anger, govt incomplaiance and stupidity. Its a shame it had to happen this way, but everyone knows no body would care if they had not rallied on this day.

PLEASE RESPECTFULLY CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG HERE. I DO NOT KNOW ALL THE INFORMATION ATM

Remember we are not our prime minister or government. We can and will change this. Stay strong

Over 150 farmers have died in the encampment. One of the protestors was shot and killed. Protestors have been lathicharged and tear gassed. The farmers also caught 13 people with government ID cards destroying buses.

But both sides are at fault because *checks notes* the farmers didn’t follow a route.

meherya

The way that people want to make this look like a grey issue when it's black and white.... This is the culmination of two months of being played with and ignored... How are the farmers at fault for protecting themselves when the police beat them with sticks? The governemt and the forces are the obvious agitators but yes let's play the "both sides are at a fault here" card

bhujangan

the cops pulled my chacha & chachi out of their tractor and beat them with lathis they’re 60 & 55 do you think that’s an acceptable punishment for deviating from a preset route :)

Don’t read too much into it.

That just sounds like you’re a trans guy.

chloeniccole

Girls / women complaining about the very real effects of prolonged objectification and subjugation to sexism, misogyny, and societal oppression isn’t an opportunity to make a flippant comment that minimizes not only trans people’s experiences but also detracts from a commentary on what it is like to be a woman in a society that actively hates women.
