"...peanut butter is bigger threat than rattlesnakes. Somebody should be going into the grocery store in assaulting all the peanut butter.”

I'm not really going anywhere with that. I just like it. The fewer mechanisms of colonial oppression at play the better

Reserves are under federal jurisdiction, where the province or provincial laws, have no effect upon them. This is a good thing.

There's the NDP we were promised. Now, shut down the tarsands.https://twitter.com/cblackst/status/888038933904470017 …

...and as a Teacher would not allow a member of those foreign invaders to reinforce that system upon us. It was beautiful & empowering.

He helped us kids realize that this IS OUR HOME where foreign invaders have unjustly imposed their way of being upon us

That can mean a lot to a person who is forced into an oppressive system & way of being that is foreign. That is out of our control.

it was the first time I heard a white person affirm & acknowledge our inherent right to be as we please in our only home on the whole Planet

The teacher was a white man who finally had enough & said "HEY this IS THEIR HOME you can't tell them how to be in it!"

The park interpreter was going through all of these control freak rules, which are understandable for the purposes of conservation.

I just had a memory of a good Teacher. For some reason, they took a bunch of us Blackfoot kids out for a field trip to a park.

Modern day fairytale: The prince's head is lightbulb shaped as the inbreeding prevents jaws from developing. Married his cousin

Modern day fairytale: kiss the handsome prince, and turn into a cold sore.

It's not the reserves that need "dismanting"; it's the Indian Act and the colonial structures around it. The reserve landbase needs to grow.

I don't understand the continued obsession with monarchy. Stop glorifying it. Dictators are not heroes. Heroes tear down oppressive systems.
