Anti-racism and being an ally to Indigenous peoples
zhlédnutí 238Před rokem
As national Indigenous peoples' history month continues, Kenneth Deer shares key lessons about being an ally. It is important for allies to stand up and speak up to the insidious racism that can make Indigenous peoples feel so alone at times. #indigenous #socialjustice #ally #advocate
We asked Kenneth Deer: How can non-Indigenous people be better allies?
zhlédnutí 151Před rokem
Allies need to start with understanding to learn the history of Indigenous Peoples. Then, they can begin to reach out to those that perpetuate racism against Indigenous Peoples. Are you an ally? How have you taken steps to educate yourself about the history and experiences of Indigenous Peoples?
We asked Kenneth Deer: What should Canada's reconciliation efforts be focused on?
zhlédnutí 137Před rokem
Kenneth Deer shares what Canada's reconciliation efforts should be focused on. A nation to nation relationship should be core to this focus, he says. Without recognition of Indigenous nations' sovereignty, we cannot continue the work of reconciliation.

Truth and Reconciliation and Land Acknowledgements
What do you mean by “indigenous territory”? Are you claiming ownership of the land?
If you're interested in learning about Indigenous rights our website has resources including on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples QuakerService.ca/UNDeclaration
@@CFSCQuakers so no simple answer?
@@alexkliva6587 In the territory called Canada there are hundreds of Indigenous nations each involved with land, land claims, and the concept of "ownership" in different ways. Indigenous land rights are human rights. Part of reconciliation is supporting Indigenous peoples' in efforts to reclaim traditional territories as Kirby mentions in his video: czcams.com/video/VDNNWSynhbM/video.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
@@CFSCQuakers If I understood him correctly there are legal claims of the land ownership. So is it up to court now to resolve those claims?
@@alexkliva6587 Often times land claims are resolved through courts, which is a costly process for Indigenous peoples (and governments). Often times Canada has engaged in land claims processes in bad faith: quakerservice.ca/resource/joint-report-on-canadas-failure/

Does acknowledgement also include a responsibility to take care of the land in a respectful way?
Important question! Ellen in her short response about reconciliation says "reconciliation has to be extended towards the land as well" and encourages governments to go beyond talking in the abstract to halt destruction and restore right relations with the land: czcams.com/video/FEdQBbYptG0/video.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
Good question, and something I've been pondering. Would like to hear others' thoughts on when it is appropriate - and when it isn't.

If there are native Americans here who read my comment, then please give me your social network, brother!! I want to get to know you better, and I will be glad if you share your culture with me!!
Without Free and Prior Informed consent in every single law of the colonial state , and any policies, including with any bills pertaining to UNDRIP it is fraud, the vast majority of indigenous people were not informed nor asked for consent on bill c 15 nor, have we had time to interpret UNDRIP ourselves, without question a national institution must be formed where individual indigenous people will be asked to come forward to vote on anything that can affect the land, lives and futures of them and their children. Furthermore it is highly disturbing that the majority of indigenous people are not being engaged or taught these rights, nor involved in any of the decision making processes, unelected first nations bodies and institutions are making decisions for us over us, this is against the entire spirit of intent of UNDRIP, nor should the implementation and action plan be created over all of us a interpreted over us for us without consent of the majority, UNDRIP as it should look, the way indigenous people decide how it should look and the common understanding of the common interpretation that we decide and vote on together. Another deception is taking place like when treaties were formed this is a modern-day deception of our people to turn us into municipalities why is no one being informed about this from our own elected members, and institutions that work for and with indigenous. FPIC can only be true at the individual level, not through AFN or other indigenous men or women, only the by rights holder themselves can they give true sovereign FPIC.
Your greating is based on French (colonists) ? Sounds a lot like bonjour, the French for hello.
Actually boozhoo has nothing to do with the French bonjour. This is a common misconception. Too long to type in a comment but here is one explanation of the word boozhoo www.netnewsledger.com/2013/11/28/word-boozhoo-come
