An international tribunal will investigate missing children and unmarked graves associated with Canada's residential school system, including public sessions in Montreal in 2026.

The Native Women's Shelter of Montreal, in partnership with Amnistie internationale Canada francophone (AICF), will host the Permanent Peoples' Tribunal. 

Na'kuset, executive director at the Native Women's Shelter, said the organization is spearheading the effort to demand accountability for alleged crimes committed against Indigenous children at residential schools. The theme of the tribunal will be Âcimowin, which is a nêhiyawêwin (Plains Cree language) word meaning "true story" or "an account." 

"It's an opportunity for us to show the world exactly what happened," she said. [...]

A fight for Maori rights drew 42,000 protesters to the New Zealand Parliament in the capital Wellington on Tuesday. A nine-day-long hikoi, or peaceful march – a tradition of the Maori – was undertaken in protest against a bill that seeks to reinterpret the country’s 184-year-old founding Treaty of Waitangi, which was signed between British colonisers and the Indigenous Maori people. Some had also been peacefully demonstrating outside the Parliament building for nine days before the protest concluded on Tuesday. On November 14, the controversial Treaty Principles Bill was introduced in Parliament for a preliminary vote. Maori parliamentarians staged a haka (a Maori ceremonial dance) to disrupt the vote, temporarily halting parliamentary proceedings. [...]

Why does my family cling to Israel and Israel's continued existence? Simple. You see, when we were being persecuted and killed by the Nazis, and my family was chased out and was stripped of their citizenship, they tried to go to America. Only America turned them away. They had nowhere else to go. No one would accept them. No one wanted them. You know the only place that did? Israel

More than 80 Cree youth from Quebec took part in a treaty simulation in early November to learn about leadership, government, and politics.

The Cree Nation Youth Council and the Gordon Foundation planned the gathering, which took place on Nov. 8-10 in Ottawa. 

"There were youth from every community in our nation learning about treaties…building those friendships now is going to lead to us being more together as we build our futures," said Charly Gilpin, who sits on the youth council in Wemindji, a small Cree community on the east coast of James Bay.

The treaty simulation commemorated the 49th anniversary of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA), signed in 1975. It ensures that the Cree people are self-governed and have authority over land use, education, health, economic growth, and traditional practices, among other areas. [...]

As a polyfragmented traumagenic system mostly composed of ex-persecutors: persecution doesn't benefit anyone but the oppressor.

Singlets will not like you more because you join them in the persecution of endogenics, that's an illusion. By persecuting half of the plural community you are weaking the community. We need all the community to fight for our rights.

Sysmeds are x-manning, they are Scott-Summering, they are making holes in their own boat (our boat) to let the water out. (TERFs do the same when they attack trans women)

This applies to all minority groups. The persecution of asexuals, m-spec lesbians and neopronouns (and even of trans people in general) only weakens the LGBT+ community. How will you have resources to fight your oppressor if you're using them to fight your own? Who will you join forces with?

You're like a Dwarf letting your people be genocided by Humans because "I'm not joining my forces with those filthy Mountain Dwarves".

And please stop being racist against Indigenous and Asian people while claiming "only Black people suffer 'real racism'", they're not minimising your oppression by calling out their oppression.

Is this the right time to say Nonhumans are oppressed?

I'm tired of seeing antisemitism on my dash, in all its subtle forms. War is an atrocity, and Israel is not unique in that. Where is the outrage against Russia's ongoing genocide of Ukrainians? What about China's genocide of Uyghurs? What of all the other atrocities being committed around the world? Why is there *so much attention* devoted to hating Israel and seeking, not an end to the conflict, but the end of Israel? Is it just that they're a little country, an easy target to potentially dismantle, compared to the big fish of Russia and China?

Keep calling out the atrocities, by all means, but for the love of humanity maybe broaden your targets and reduce your own genocidal wishes?

Any ideology that says: "They did horrible things so 'they' [the group they belong to] all deserve to die horribly" is an evil one.

SIGHHHHHH I dearly wish USians would stop centering the global north as the brilliant “discoverers of the third world”

- the anaconda was not discovered by freek vonk. the Waorani people, from the Baihuaeri Waorani Territory in the Amazon had already observed this snake was bigger than reports of the biggest snake in the world

- they invited a team of scientists to observe the local anaconda population, one of which was freek

- the paper’s principle author was actually Jesus Rivas, a world renowned herpetologist from Venezuela

- it literally didn’t take me 10 minutes of googling to find credible sources about this in english instead of erasing indigenous people but whatever

The anniversary of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement for most is a day of celebration.

But this year's event, marking 49 years since the signing of that treaty, was overshadowed by the fatal police shooting in Salluit last week.

Hundreds of people gathered across Nunavik on Monday to pay tribute to Joshua Papigatuk, who was killed during that confrontation.

Quebec's police watchdog, Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI), is still investigating that shooting, and will not release any more findings before the end of its investigation. It's the 15th police-related death in Nunavik since 2017. [...]

Notes from the poster @el-shab-hussein: I just want to say - for people who are completely in the dark on conversations concerning sovereignty and decolonization for the First Nations of so-called 'Canada' - Natives 'becoming the police themselves' is not actually decolonization. It's just integration into the colonial system. And many many Indigenous activists of all backgrounds will tell you that this isn't progress, it's just controlled opposition. So the proposed 'solution' in this article isn't actually a solution for police violence.
