legislative racism, which defined new and old forms of genicide!

This comment is based on the CBC article at: Ex-chief calls reserves 'concentration camps' on Iran TV Terry Nelson accuses Canada of mistreating aboriginal people In my research with my paper NDNs In The Age of Terror, I came across statements that the Concentration camps of WWII were based on the ideas regarding the reservation system in North America. Where a people can be contained and marginalized through legislative racism. All the new critics and commentiers of this new age can disagree avec our Indigenous Chief from the Land surrounding Lake Winnipeg, and touching our Northern and Southern Brothers and Sisters. Your People have been fighting the NDNs wars since Geronimo, Wounded Knee, Richard Oakes/Alcatraz, Leonard Peltier, Anna Mae, Oka, 70,000 rounds at Gustaferson, Our Missing Women , your failed residential schools, and our daily attempt to success in a systemic system based on the historicity of Western Capitalized thought and control. Now the millions of our ancestors and sisters and brothers, children, kookums and moshums, who reside with The Great Spirit watching us twist the world to our liking, forgetting about "what is truth? The Truth lies with Our Great Spirit as she/he loves us good and bad. Either way both systems of containment worked in how the governments and societies of the time creative institutions to kill these human beings of God; legislative racism, which defined new and old forms of genicide!

In response to comments about Drew Taylor's globe and mail July 14th apology story

See: The reality in Canada, that the colour of one’s skin does make a difference when it comes to judging character, disposition, and position in life. Behind the veneer of civilization, everyone is concerned and supposingly educated about co-habitation, living and working together for the common good, but once the door is closed, the perpetuation of racial stereotyping continues in its communal and familial patterning and judgement of the "other' no matter whether he/she is aboriginal multicultural, or eurocentric. As we all are descendants of the formation of different "tribes" which roamed the earth, we all as different tribes developed a lexiconical relation to language on how we described the other, distance nations, trading patterns of goods and currencies, and how we relate, fight and die to protect our lineage, our way of life!. Equality equals colonial meandering, about trade, tribal conquests, and spreading ones tribe over the earth to change the heathen, the infidel, and all other tribes not held bound by the laws of Christendom, the Vatican, and all that comes from the old and new testaments. Read Pagans of a promised land and maybe all will understand why so many morons come out day and night when aboriginal people assert their rights to the land that we live and die on. White, black, yellow and red , the four races, we are all walking in four directions within the four elements during the four seasons all within the sacred circle of Mother Earth. What perpetuated racism is not this article, but the fundamental building blocks of Western Christian society; the education, cultural, social, and political apparatuses of dominant society and families, which in all governs the child, who in turns grows up to make choices about relations and how we get along or not. Mr Taylor writes of many truisms, and his tongue in cheek humor rubbed a few people the wrong way. Some may ask, would this author get published if his skin was more defined towards the aboriginal tint as opposed to his euro-centric background as a mixed aboriginal person of aboriginal and European lineage? And even then some aboriginals will dispute his aboriginalism purely based on the colour of his skin. We are all doomed for failure if we do not live, write and speak from the hear of our Creator, not the heart of our pride, which humanly is bound for failure. White , black, red, and yellow pride is all bound form discord and conflict, if we do not go beyond the colour of our skins and live with the ideals and laws of The Great Creator

One of My Reasons to NOT celebrate Canada Day

See CBC Article http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/story/2012/07/01/edmonton-canada-day-events.html I am reposting this early post on Fb in relation to Canada Day Events in Redneck Edmonton, AB: Do not celebrate Canada day and never will till Canada resolve their tarred and racist position against Canada’s 1st people, and stop their conservative, liberal , and other euro-centric judges and their condemnation of our people standing b4 them in the courts. I hear these stories all the time form lawyer friends, who see the judges condemning our people regardless of the systemic racism that Native people endure in life resulting in survival tactics that get them in trouble because the politics of dysfuntionality and survival takes over their thinking. With these judges admonishing our people before them regardless of the failed assimilation policies of racist Canada, and that colour of skin does matter when it comes to racism, colonialism, and what defines the success and failure of individuals in dominant capitalist society. Remember Chief Dan George's centennial speech on Canada Day Salish Territory last century. Miigweech

Getting Involved with Issues of the day

Tansi? Good Day, I hung out a bit with John Graham on Salish Territory here and there, and he was a good man, kind and gracious. I met a nephew of Annie Mae Acquash early nineties research my 7 fires Films 4 U..., he told me the FBI killed his aunt. Years later I met a Nova Scotia Filmmaker part Micmac in Atlanta, Georgia, (Film/media conferenc,2004_ who produced a film, the Spirit of Annie Mae. There are many sides to this sordid story of sadness and conspiracy. Hearts out to both sides of all relations, who are missing their loved ones this Fathers Day, 2012. I remember meeting the daughters of John Graham East Van prior to his last apprehension, and I heard stories about who turned John in, pointed him out, etc, etc. Terrible for all. As with the filmmaker's film, the daughters of Annie Mae were still looking for justice for the death of their mother. And today, 2012, yes, as one commenter on FB mentioned, that misinformation is out there and if you really believe in something, you got to fight for it, get up, stand up. Perhaps what the writer writes is valid. Is creating a FB page for some issue, injustice, idea, creative stimulation, sales, global connection a sincere means of being involved with the posted images of texts of the FB page? Now with all the liker, dislike buttons, etc, etc, village , invites of all kinds from FB friends, associates, are we really that more connected in the world, to creating change and meaning in a increasingly fragmented physical world, but connected metaphysically in the digital realm. Once something is posted, we supposingly cannot get rid of it. there forever cyberspace. I regret posting pictures on line, and I cannot change how it affected my relations after such postings. Lately news stories online and print about the latest tragedies in Montreal and Edmonton have involved images and texts posted by the perpetrators of alleged crimes prior to the tragedies and police allegations. both involved international manhunts, the images and texts of the perpetrators, and of course stories about the victims and the families after the death and murder of relations. Very sad for all. my heart is forlorn. Back in the days prior to the Net, a colleague and friend of mine did get involved with all kinds of community issues of the day. The marches, the occupations, the freedom and peace camps, and whatever issue affected who we were as aboriginal individuals in a dominant racist society. Vigilance performances twice to support the 1990 Oka crisis was a memorable event her and I produced. Nevertheless, we created press releases, radio carts for community radio, and many other early media programming to get the message out. Today, yes, there is too much information, more often hearsay, hand me down information, all unratified information out there side by side with the ratified information of the Bible, the State, and the family? A complex world, but never the less, creating a page is a good start to supporting the issue, flash mob events, but outside of being a flash in the pan, we still have to get up and get involved with social and community issues outside of the chair we are sitting in. So get up , go meet your neighbour, and help change the world , one handshake and one click at a time. Miigweech, Happy Father's Day Great Creator, we love you on the Net and off it.

Pardon Me, I just want to Move Ahead

Chris Conrad's dilemma is the result of the on-going agenda of the current government to criminalize the individual through a draconian form of legislation that will define the freedom and unfreedom of the individual through ultra conservative restrictions. Restrictions which are a direct opposition to the fundamental core values of a Christian western society which has based its laws on the fundamental values of the Old and New testament. Harper’s attempt to control the criminalization of particular segments of society through super jails, pardon restrictions and throw away the key mentality is not in part to the fundamental value of forgiveness, of which the Creator teaches us to do and resolve if we want to stand before our Creator without shame. Harper and Toews stance against crime is counter production and will be an enormous strain on the taxpayer, and future generations. Conrad, a young man of euro-Canadian genealogy is experiencing what many of us first nation people experienced in our lives, when we attempt to integrate with dominant society. Perhaps not with the racial factor, but with the criminal record factor, of which many of our people have experienced due to the failed assimilation policies of Canadian society. With systemic racism,, no-one want to hire us, give us a chance, or saw our record and showed us the door. Pardons are an integral part of forgiveness and to extend the waiting period for pre-pardoner is not of good form and will only create more misery and despair instead of allowing a pardon to forgive and forget, move forward in a new light.

Canada’s 2012 March 23 Supreme Court Ruling, Colonial Racism and Canada’s First People

All you naysayers who disagree with this Supreme Court Ruling,you may rant all you want about negatively disagreeing with the ruling and calling it racist. But this country was built by racists, ruled by racists, and developed by racist settlers alike. Systemic racism on all levels of societal construction from birth, infancy, childhood, adolescent, and adulthood, purely due to the racist colonial history we all share. To vehemently deny societal status and place for this ruling shows that Canada will always remain a racist country. Ideas and thoughts perpetuated through capitalist and economic differentiation of communities, choice and style of clothing, timing of mosaic cultural celebrations, and the educational positioning of class relations and economically defined demographics. Would the rich build their homes by the refinieries and industrail areas?

Take a first nations community's, language, culture and land away, give them nothing but small parcels of land removed from dominant society and expect them to live there and not bother us, started this racist existence consciously and subconsciously for all of us living under the North American dome of societal upbringing, popular culture history, modernist story creations and the syndication of these low art and high art signifiers through dime novels, newspapers, the newly invented film camera. Soon the new settlers of this new land wanted to remove the “Indians” from the land allocated to them through the treaties, and the people are moved again. All the new comers who came from Ireland (The potato famine and death ships), England and others of the old world wanted to start a new life; Developers again removed the “Indians from their allocated smaller parcels of land further away from development. And so on and so on, the relocation continues till we are where we are today, where as one commenter put its “...our society rejects and demotes aboriginals...”

While I sympathize for the victims of all abusers and initiators of violence, far too often alcohol is the demonizing factor, and as one of my later foster mother said, It takes two to tangle..” and far too often the victim is just as much the transgressor which helped initiate the aggression between the two parties. If not my apologies for any offence. I do not promote violence, but when these societal conditions help creat ones sense of worth and knowledge, communcation tools became dangerous. Through the abuse of alcohol and drugs, it was devastating, one case involved Uncles screwing niece after a drunked and anger filled gathering. One situation, brothers beating their own for their mistakes and screw ups during drinking parties; another case grandparents smoking crack with grandkids? Hearing and experiencing this self abuse I had been forelorn and suicidal, but the Great Spirit is with me. Some judges and jurers don't symthpatize for their own reasons; (All affected by the ruling ideology) But nevertheless, for the first people the systemic racism was devastating and genocidal. Worthlessness became the predominant value of the self. From birth, infancy, childhood, and adulthood. Where the after effects of this unnecessary evil killed the Indian in the child and instead of giving them the tools to survive in a Christian oriented educational and class defined workforce, the caregivers of this racist system give them physcial and sexual abuse, children were told that they were worthless, and unworthy of being. When you feel unworthy of being, the only options was rebellion, anger, hate, self abuse, denial and suicide. People say it's all about choices. yes I agree, I choose to live and trust the Great Spirit completely after all, I am a survivor of that genocidal anger, hate, self abuse and worthlessness after my experience with this racist country. A survivor because of my experience with physical and sexual abuse. From the foster homes to being on the street or in the building of Canadian socicety, I have been sucker punched more than once for being an Indian; from behind more than often than in front. Hearing the words fucken Indian behind your back before the fall, you know it is a matter of survival. As I got older, I was able to utilize my sixth sense in some sense of self defense. Even targeted because of my sense of worth today, more vocal, more social activism, stand up for injustice and the dispossessed. After work one day and more work searchs, I left the Vancouver Aboriginal Employment centre and woke up in the hospital two days later, a large swelling on my left side fo the head, and no memory of what happened. Money was still in my wallet, so it was not a robbery. I thank my brother for coming out and help me recover after that assault. In Edmonton, I was chased by people in vehicles to go back to the reserve, drink your lysol; I was on my way to Vancouver wearing a business suit. In all this one native man had the choice to take programs, improve on ones self before sentencing, he assaulted a person, and at sentencing , he talk for a half an hour, cried, sobbed and shared his personal story of all that I write about regarding the the failed assimilation of Canada's First People. One person in court room was not sympathetic and yes, the victim has a right to see justice served. The guy should have taken steps in self improvement, anger management to improve his chances in the sentencing factor. Why didn't he? He even admitted that he should have taken these course. Instead he choosed to give his reasons for his actions in court, and well in a conservation hard nosed province like Alberta, the judges expects the native person to act like the rich white girl, the successful white man or cultural diversed person, not like the Indian that is defined in North American culture! Am I a successful assimilated "white" Indian who survived this failed assimilation period of Canadian History? Failed because the the government admitted complicity by the residential buyoff, with strings attached, and now the building of super jails for the incarcarated, no physical contact, everything communicative is digital? No human contact? Sterile genocidal practice?

In closing, after this Supreme court ruling, the provinces have to take in consideration the racist colonial history of Canada and how that embedded racism is still in society, its education, political, and cultural apparatuses, its leaders, judges, prosecutors, police, and teachers; all who have abused their public responsibilities and societal trust by positioning the native child, man and woman in lower social and economic definitions of class and political statute. Unworthiness of “being” purely because of the colour of their skin, because of the inter-generation pattering of ideology between euro-centric grandparents, parents and children, and how the position of native people are defined around the dinner table and on TV. Catch phrase from popular culture has been the definitive signifier that signified the lower status (caste) principles that shaped the conscious and subconscious of today’s societal relationship with North America’s first people. Until we remove the notion of us versus them mentality between the indigenous people of this continent and the descendants of our colonial history we share, nothing will ever change when it comes to how the pre-dominant mass consciousness sees the first people of this continent as a people of being unequal in educational, political and cultural status. So all you naysayer, I would sooner drop a wagon of dung in your back yard than listen to your vehemently racist rejects of this national court ruling. Here in redneck racist Alberta, we need this reading so that all those redneck racists running the justice system and jail system understand their racial historical upbringing, get their head out of their ass and paint a truer picture of justice and restitution. Instead of regurgitating the lecturing Canada’s first people to be like all the other euro Canadians because we all make choices and have to live together responsible. If you have not walked in the moccasins of Canada’s first people, then keep your racist close minded mouth shut. Hy hy, Miigweech, all my relations
