In response to the #GhostDance, an #AntiImperialist ritual, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1890 at the #StandingRock reservation, US agents assassinated #TȟatȟáŋkaÍyotake, aka #SittingBull of the #HunkpapaLakota. Seven other villagers were killed. The US is built on #IndigenousGenocide.

Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.

We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

3️⃣ Europeans unleashed a brutal campaign of extermination. The Selk'nam were hunted like animals, shot on sight. Bounties were offered for their dead bodies — reportedly 1 British pound per head. Women fetched even higher prices. #IndigenousGenocide
"Indigenous Agriculture in North America & American Genocide
How did indigenous people in North America die in such large numbers? Was it genocide, or was it their weak immune system?"

Interesting conversation with the #Democratic candidate for #Canada in upcoming elections.
I wonder what his plan is for the ongoing oppression of Canada's own #indigenouspeople, hearing him whimpering about calling for a'ceasefire' in #Gaza early on since Oct. '23. Early? That genocide has been going for 70 yrs now, your own, however, for hundreds of years. #residentialschools #indigenousgenocide #reparations #colonialism
