“It just got me angry. It kind of got me sad because I knew this person. Because I just finished film school, I felt like I should do something. But I didn't quite know how or what to do.”

Windspeaker.comDocumentary aims to humanize First Nations man who was made infamous in memeWhile some relish an iconic Indigenous meme on social media, Damien Eagle Bear is doing his best to give a late member from his First Nation some respect. Eagle Bear recalls he was angry when he first saw what has become a popular meme. It showed a middle-aged Indigenous man with his fists raised in front of him looking like he was ready to fight. Many felt that image was being shared to mock Indigenous people. The meme took off when the Indigenous word skoden, which translates into ‘let’s go then’, was added to the picture.

Do Indigenous Australians get good deals from mining companies that extract rare earth minerals on their lands?

Hello all, please consider signing this petition to pressure the Conservative Party of Canada to drop Aaron Gunn as the North-Island--Powell-River riding.

> A residential school apologist with a history of sexist and transphobic positions is running for the Conservatives in North Island—Powell River — and the polls have him in the lead.

CounterPunch.org · Milei’s Fire Sale of Patagonia and the Mapuche People’s Fight for LifeSome 40 people form a circle on the dusty, late-summer grass. Following days of uncertainty and fear, cut off from most forms of communication, families from Mapuche communities in Argentina’s Chubut province gather to talk about what happened to them on Feb. 11. At 7 AM that Tuesday, hundreds of Argentina’s armed provincial and federal police forces raided their homes, smashing windows and destroying belongings. The special forces, wielding assault rifles, held men, women and children at gunpoint for more than ten hours.
