Changing How Media represents native people in the Media
I had the pleasure of listening to a segment of Ronald Harris Live Facebook webcast, and he brought up very important issues regarding native people in the media, particularly the media presentation of Late Tina Fontaine, and late Colten Boushie. I would add what I partly wrote to him "..The Literacy we need outside of the Language of blood, and its nemesis "If it bleeds, it leads' is (a Ron Harris quote of an associate's view) is deep within the DNA and energy we create from the goodness we consume if we keep the inner spirit and fire alive with hope...." Hope that we can create a macro conscious and action driven mass protest and stoppage of Canadian society to critique the current presentation of the negative media news reports on the conditions at the time of his demise and as well late Tina Fontaine's conditions at the time of her passing. Totally unacceptable in how these two young victims of colonial racist violence against their person is presented in the media. Such signification is dangerous in terms of how the masses will rationalize their views, actions and perspectives on native people. A perpetuation of the continuous stereotypical racist maxims which are ingrained in private and public realms of thought and actions today and for the last one thousand years. The time to change is now.
