I became a Canadian citizen today, nineteen years after I left my home-country, fourteen years since I first landed in Canada 😭 I actually cried during my oath (which I really wasn't expecting, but I guess this all makes sense). During the ceremony, the judge spoke at length about it being Indigenous History Month, explicitly naming the historic and ongoing violence towards Indigenous peoples of these lands, inviting us as soon-to-be citizens to think through the question of reconciliation with regards to the privilege of living on these territories. The judge also spoke about it being Pride month, which also struck a meaningful chord. As my first act as a Canadian citizen, I want to publicly recant the first 25 words of my citizenship oath. I disavow the words that ask me to "be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Her Successors." In doing so, I hope to honour the resistance of my ancestors and my family, as well as my own convictions and values. In this new journey, I hope to keep contributing meaningfully to the places, people, communities & milieus where I have made a home 🇨🇦🇲🇺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #citizenship #citizen #canadian #canada #unceded #nativeland #immigration #immigrant #decolonize #lgbtq #lgbt #lgbtq+ #trans #transgender #femme #queer #mauritian #artist (at Moncton, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cezbc9hLjj4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Dad always told me, life is not about you, it’s not about me, it’s about the future.

-Queen Sacheen

When I say that leadership sells us out they are literally signing deals with companies like Cermaq to stand against their own people.  I am afraid that there are not enough people who can take the time or effort to fight.  Industry and complicit leadership use tactics to bully people and silence them.

-Queen Sacheen

Xhopakelxhit, Sacheen Seitcham, is a Snuneymuxw, Nuu Chah Nulth, Coast Salish and Cree Grandmother, Medicine Maker, Water Protector and Strategist.  Co-Founder of the Coast Salish Native Youth Movement, The West Coast Women Warrior Society Media Cooperative, Yaakswiis Warriors, Imperial No More and Ancestral Pride Sacheen’s life is dedicated to the futures of the children.  In August of 2016 Sacheen and 3 others were arrested for attempting to block the restocking of a fish farm in Ahousaht waters and in the autumn Sacheen and her family were throwing down with Red Warrior at Standing Rock and providing crucial on the ground media coverage.

Sacheen’s work relies on the support of people like you dedicated to Indigenous Sovereignty and Protection of Water, Land and Life.  With court dates coming up on both sides of the colonial border, family to support and Imperial Metals, the Kinder Morgan Pipeline and Cermaq to fuck up your donations are crucial.

Please support Warriors.

Back today from what may very well be a first for an architecture school. I was on a review of a graduate studio whose project was in an indigenous community, with 1/3 indigenous students, and a jury of five (5) indigenous architecture professor/practitioners. #indigenize #indigenousdesign #design #architectureschool #laurentianuniversity #unceded #architecturestudio #finalreview #art #archihub #next_top_architects #architects_need #soarch #critday #architecturefactor #bna #imadethat #storeyshots #model #finalreview #thinkingarchitecture #botherzine (at Laurentian University McEwen School of Architecture)

I am pleased to announce that my work will be exhibited as part of the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale! I am participating in an exhibit in the Canadian pavilion titled "UNCEDED". This is an exhibition of the best indigenous architecture. I am honored to be one of a small group from the U.S. "We didn't cross the borders, the borders crossed us." Stay tuned... #venicebiennale #unceded #canadacouncilforthearts #indigenousdesign #cornelius #exhibit #venicearchitecturebiennale2018 (at Toronto, Ontario)
