"As the Ontario government continues to push for development in northern Ontario, an Anishinaabe First Nation in the region is praising a mining company for “demonstrating true reconciliation” by agreeing to withdraw from an area in the community’s traditional territory."

First Nation in northern Ontario praises mining company for 'true reconciliation' | CBC News
After hearing concerns from Biigtigong Nishnaabeg in northern Ontario about potential exploration in an area known as the Seeley property, Landore Resources Canada Inc. agreed to withdraw its application to renew its mining lease there. Here's why the First Nation is praising the company for “demonstrating true reconciliation,” and what lessons it says others can learn from this approach.
Jay BakerI've joked before on how I saw old white folks at pre-election MAGA rallies posing with signs that stated "mass deportations now" and my response was to praise them for being so willing to depart a country they'd lived in all their lives, as that's all such a call could logically mean. In seriousness though, the so-called United States indeed remains, as the saying goes, "stolen land, built by people stolen from their land." Even if we understand that fundamentally "land belongs to no one," as climate activist Luna Plaza suggested in this piece about the Everglades, "it is important to know who occupied it first": https://www.news-press.com/story/opinion/2025/07/20/the-florida-everglades-a-sacred-place-at-risk-opinion/85252273007/ #Climate #LandBack

The vision of Lucille Contreras (Lipan Apache), CEO & founder of the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project, is to revive and reconnect all the tribes of Texas through a regenerative herd of American bison, or Iyane’e. Contreras learned to care for bison on the Pine Ridge reservation, then purchased 77 acres in rural Gonzalez County, Texas, in 2020 with a new farmer-rancher loan from the USDA. The herd of 34 bison has grown from the initial eight acquired in 2021. The “Land Back” movement seeks to restore a people to sacred stewardship of their ancestral lands, and successes like the one in Texas are happening across the country. The work of the NDN Collective, a South Dakota-based international Indigenous organization, is just another example. Nick Tilsen (Oglala Lakota), the founder of NDN Collective, explains that a Land Back ethic doesn’t mean going back in time, but moving forward with all people to create a just and equitable world. Contreras and Tilsen have found common cause as members of the Black Liberation-Indigenous Sovereignty Collective, co-founded by Trevor Smith (a Black man) and Savannah Romero (an Indigenous woman and citizen of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe). According to Romero, most Land Back successes in their member organizations are in rural areas of Indian Country or near reservation communities. The BLIS Collective serves as a hub to connect leaders in the Land Back movement with those seeking reparations, or healing and restoration, for African American people injured because of their group identity. By promoting a braided narrative of justice for both Black and Indigenous people, BLIS includes dozens of member organizations who work to articulate the intrinsic tie between Land Back and reparations.

The government confirmed the decision following a meeting in Brasília between Indigenous leaders Sônia Guajajara, Brazil’s Minister of Indigenous Peoples, and Guilherme Boulos, Minister of the Presidency’s General Secretariat. The announcement came amid an Indigenous occupation of Cargill’s port in Santarém, Pará State, and in the wake of growing national and international solidarity and extensive news coverage of the mobilization.
