Indigenous-Led Movement Against Austerity Is Gaining Momentum in Ecuador

The video is shocking. The footage is low quality, shot from above and behind the scene: A group of people run from state security forces up an empty highway at full speed. Four people are carrying a limp body. But under the fire of gunshots, tear gas and police sirens, three of the people drop the body and flee. The other man, in a blue jacket, kneels beside the body, and holds onto him.

" 'This #WarriorFlag was actually at #StandingRock,' said Mskwaasin Agnew, Cree Dene on the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza today. This flag also flew at the Wet'suwet'en's Gidimt'en Checkpoint. The
women also brought an #AnishinaabeFlag that flew at 1492 Land Back Lane at Six Nations. Remembering the photos of the Warrior flag in #Jabalia in Gaza, she said, 'This is a symbol of Global #IndigenousSolidarity, and Global Indigenous Solidarity means that none of us are free until all of us are free.' Agnew said, 'I have joined the #FreedomFlotillaCoalition to break the siege on Gaza with Dr. #SuzanneShoush and fellow comrades from Turtle Island. Break the siege on Gaza NOW! Solidarity to the global #IndigenousResistance."

As Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin wrap up their meeting in Alaska—two autocrats representing the two colonial powers that have occupied and sold that land without regard for its native inhabitants—this is a lucid statement from Indigenous Alaskans about what the invasion and occupation of Ukraine has to do with the colonial oppression of Alaska.

#FirstNations Warn #Carney’s Push to Build #Canada Could Tear It Apart

The prime minister’s #FastTrack law has already set off a wave of #IndigenousProtest

by Joy Spearchief-Morris
Aug. 8, 2025

Excerpt: "The last time the federal government passed sweeping industry-friendly legislation without proper #Indigenous consultation, it triggered one of the largest grassroots political movements in Canadian history: #IdleNoMore. The movement was a direct response to the 2012 passage of the omnibus budget bill #C45, legislation that endangered #TraditionalLands and resources by reducing federal oversight on thousands of #waterways. Indigenous people across the country took part in Idle No More with widespread protests, including teach-ins, flash mobs, round dances, and blockades. Though the law remained in place, the movement showed that when governments legislate without meaningful Indigenous involvement, the consequences can be swift, sustained, and impossible to ignore.

"Yet, across Canada’s history, Indigenous people have been European settlers’ longest allies. Relations with French settlers led to the birth of the Metis people; First Nations played pivotal roles in British efforts during the American Revolution and the War of 1812. And many Indigenous people volunteered and fought as part of Canada’s contributions to the first and second world wars.

"Now, Canada faces new threats as the US president muses about making Canada an unwilling fifty-first state while launching a trade war on Canadian goods. But as history has proved, Canada cannot succeed in defending itself as a nation-state without acknowledging and partnering with #IndigenousNations."

Gold. Gospel. Ghosts.

That’s how Latin America was colonized.

Not with discovery, but destruction—masked in faith, driven by greed, haunted by silence.
