2020.

#Laichwiltach Nation’s Hereditary Chief Tsahaukuse's (aka George Quocksister Jr.) traditional, #handwoven Chief's #hat. Made from yellow #cedar bark with beading & an #EagleFeather attached.
Sitting in front of the woven hat is a row of some #handcarved miniature canoe #paddles, carved from red & yellow cedar. Chief Darren Blaney of the #Xwémalhkwu aka #Homalco #FirstNation #carved over 100 of these paddles. They were carved in #honour of the many young Homalco lives lost.

"The #law is the most powerful engine through which ideologies can become self-replicating engines. John Locke’s theory of property as the endowed right of white men to use and to produce worked like witchcraft—the natural world, which had sustained societies for thousands of years, could suddenly be taken by force, enclosed, and tilled for the sole profit of one man, with trespassers punished. The conversion of land into one person’s permanent property was not permissible under the indigenous populations who had long occupied it, nor was such a thing permissible anywhere in the world except Europe—and even there, only after the enclosure movements of the 1600s."

These rich, white, racist, misogynistic #bigots had the luxury of living quite comfortably into very old ages. The #privilege of growing old & having comfort - that almost none of the #marginalized folks - that these old rich white bigots directed #hatred & #cruelty campaigns towards - were able to experience.

Never let bigots feel comfortable while they're still alive & spreading their bigoted cruelty. #Honour #victims that they helped to kill - by refusing to tolerate bigots & exposing them.

#Activists & #advocates gathered in downtown #Halifax Tuesday afternoon to call for an overhaul of the #JusticeSystem to improve its treatment of #IndigenousPeople & to #honour the #memories of #Indigenous people who #died in provincial custody.
The crowd marched from the Peace & Friendship Park to the #HalifaxCentralLibrary holding signs that read "Real Justice Doesn't Kill People" & "Say Their Names."

“Public torture, in seventeenth-century Europe, created searing, unforgettable spectacles of pain and suffering in order to convey the message that a system in which husbands could brutalize wives, and parents beat children, was ultimately a form of love… It seems to us that this connection – or better perhaps confusion – between #care and #domination is utterly critical to the larger questions of how we lost the ability freely to recreate ourselves by recreating our relationships with one another. It is critical, that is, to understanding how we got stuck, and why these days we can hardly envisage our own past or future as anything other than a transition from smaller to larger cages.”
