Today was National Indigenous Peoples Day. I mentioned it in an earlier article but also wanted to share this post from my archives. For unknown reasons it was by far my most popular post on Recipes and Roots.
I am not Indigenous and strongly encourage people to read and listen to Indigenous stories and learn more about the Indigenous people who live in your area.

"The justice system is a "stain on Australia's reputation"."
"A delegation of United Nations inspectors have raised the alarm about Australia's treatment of children, First Nations people, people with disability and migrants in detention."
"The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention visited detention facilities in New South Wales, Western Australia and the ACT, but was denied access to all Northern Territory institutions in an international first... The Northern Territory barred all access to inspectors in a worldwide first."

A look at some details from a couple of things from the last week in Aus politics. The good: A first nations treaty in Victoria. The Bad: the ongoing gender affirming care freeze in Queensland. #transright #Transkidsmatter #auspol #australia #Indigenousrights #firstnationspeople #trans
A big few days in Australia. After a successful legal challenge against Queensland's gender affirming care ban, the conservative government was quick to reinstate the ban. In contrast Victoria is making progress on Indigenous rights through a landmark treaty. This reflects ongoing disparities between progressive southern states and more conservative northern regions in Australia.
A very worthwhile read indeed!!
At least #Canada 🇨🇦 is taking steps of reparations towards our #FirstNationsPeople to try to make amends & to correct the history we were taught in school..

LeMay's work for the indigenous in Canada is well known, but this year's book helps Canadians (& US folks!) understand what reconciliation means & what allyship looks like. It begins simply: learn and engage.
