#Landback

I could not imagine being less interested in which aging, necromantic goblin the Vatican installs as pope. Fuck the Roman Catholic Church. Their stolen and unholy wealth should be expropriated by the people and used for restitution, their lands returned to indigenous people, and their pedophilic priests burned at the stake--the fires of which to be lit by their victims.

I have to have a serious talk with one of my Metis friends on how she needs to do a lot more decolonization work. It's due to her reaction to my annual Earth Day call for #Indigenous #LandBack. She's still very colonial indoctrinated. Her response to any landback statements is: "Every earthling needs earth and land 🌎 happy earth day."

If you still have a #colonial #mindset like this - it tells me that you need a ton more #decolonization work. Landback isn't about making sure ONLY Indigenous peoples have lands. It's about recognizing colonial land theft & the ongoing colonial genocide of Indigenous peoples by colonial capitalists. It's about respect & genuine reconciliation for Indigenous peoples. It is literally the least we can do as settlers on stolen Indigenous lands.

The Fort Wayne Burial Mounds are the resting place of NHBP Ancestors, the Detroit Potawatomi, who for many generations thrived on the banks of The Detroit River until their relocation to the Huron River Valley. To the tribe, this deed transfer signifies the protection of this sacred site, the assurance of respect for its cultural significance, and a step forward in correcting years of injustice towards Indigenous people.

Native News OnlineLAND BACK: Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi Become Caretakers of Fort Wayne Burial MoundLast week in Detroit, Michigan, legal rights to the Fort Wayne Burial Mound were returned to the rightful caretakers, the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi . 

Beau used his day off to go hiking up a mountain to do some #CedarBark #harvesting for more traditional #CoastSalish #weaving work.
He sent me photos as he hiked through the forest. These are just the bark harvest related photos with one fairy slipper orchid wildflower photo - he knows my fave colour is purple 🥰

Also, #LandBack. The damage that Christ Insanity has done to the world is immense. A Roman death cult has conquered the world and Caesar has gotten his last laugh at the modern world. How many families have stories of their relatives growing up in Christian missions? Robbed of our cultures, beaten for speaking our languages, and for daring to be who we are? That we couldn’t practice our religions openly until the late 1970s?

This is why I have no use for evil death cult religions.

This is an amazing quote by Irish revolutionary James Connolly. Very relevant to Americans today.

“We will not blame him for the crimes of his ancestors if he relinquishes the royal rights of his ancestors; but as long as he claims their rights, by virtue of descent, then, by virtue of descent, he must shoulder the responsibility for their crimes.”
― James Connolly

Whether it's a dictator or it's a senator telling me in word or deed it's okay to bomb civilians, that is a killer.

The US is a warmonger built on a foundation of ethnic cleansing. Red-flavored or blue, it's the same junk food shit with a different artificial flavoring and dye to convince you.

I hope for the dissolution of this empire that has scarred the world so deeply. I really hope for #LandBack in my lifetime.
