#NationalParks Are #NativeLands
"All national parks exist on traditional #Indigenous lands, and in many cases, thousands of years’ worth of #NativeAmerican history has been documented at national park sites."

About Murder by Decree
Murder by Decree is an #uncensored #record of the planned #extermination of #IndigenousChildren in #Canada’s murderous Indian #ResidentialSchools. It is issued as a corrective #CounterReport to the miscarriage of #justice by Church and State known as the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” #TRC. Based on eyewitness #testimonies and #archival #documentation deliberately suppressed or ignored by the TRC, Murder by Decree proves that the #genocide of #IndigenousPeople began as a religion-led campaign and continues to be a deliberate governmental policy in Canada. This Counter Report reveals these startling facts: – Over half of Indian residential school children began dying the very first year these church-run facilities were opened – This huge mortality rate continued unabated for over a half century because of deliberate practices of germ warfare according to a prescribed monthly “death quota” – Evidence of these crimes and their intentional nature has been continually destroyed by the RCMP and the #Catholic, #Anglican and #UnitedChurch since at least 1960 – The same genocide continues today, is aimed at indigenous women and children, and is driven by foreign corporate interests hungry for #NativeLands and resources Murder by Decree is issued by The International Tribunal for the Disappeared of Canada (ITDC), an international #coalition of #jurists and #HumanRights groups. The ITDC was formed in December, 2015 to investigate the disappearance of people in Canada, prosecute those responsible and prevent a further #whitewash by Canada of its #CrimesAgainstHumanity. This report is an answer to these #crimes and an urgent summons to the world and to all #Canadians to live no longer under #genocidal #regimes.

'#SpacesOfException' #Resistance to the #FatTakers, from #NativeLands to #Palestine
"We might be the ones holding the knife -- but it is the state that is the one who is still killing us." Those are the words of #KleeBenally, in 'Spaces of Exception.'

"In the Navajo language, there is no word for relocation, it means to disappear and never be seen again."
The film, 'Spaces of Exception,' now being shown around the world, begins on #PineRidge, with the history of the resistance to the 'fat takers,' and travels to the refugee camps of Palestine, before arriving at the land of #AkwesasneMohawk, and the words shared of true sovereignty.
"Then, there are the images of the #OilAndGas, the #fracking, and #coal mining on the #NavajoNation, where #Dine' say the true literacy once known, talking with the #NaturalWorld, is being lost. Now, there is the destruction of the burial and sacred places, as #asthma takes over lives.
"On #BlackMesa, before he passed, Klee championed his relatives resisting forced relocation brought by #PeabodyCoal.
"'Their greatest form of resistance is being who they are' 'The autonomy that we have is here.'"
"'Places of Exception,' begins with scenes from #WoundedKnee 1973, and Palestine refugee camps, and the words, 'Places defined by their historical and spiritual resistance.'
"'The buffalo owns us, we don't own the buffalo,' says #AlexWhitePlume, #OglalaLakota on Pine Ridge, sharing the importance of language, and the stories carried by the words, and the impacts of #genocide.
"'The buffalo shares the same story we share.'
"The film series, 'The Native and the Refugee' began on Pine Ridge with, 'We Love Being Lakota.' The latest film, 'Spaces of Exception,' concludes with the image of the flags at #OcetiSakowin #WaterProtectors Camp on #StandingRock.
"Among those in the series of films are #DebraWhitePlume, who talks about the 'Fat Takers,' and #OlowanSaraMartinez, Oglala Lakota of Pine Ridge, South Dakota, now in the Spirit World. Their bold stance as defenders of the water and people was manifest at the #RedWarriorCamp at Standing Rock, during the resistance to the #DakotaAccessPipeline in North Dakota.
"Spaces of Exception comes out of the long-term multimedia project 'The Native and the Refugee', profiling Native lands in the United States alongside #Palestinian refugee camps, and is directed by #MattPeterson and #MalekRasamny."
