#indigenous #indigenouspeoplesday #acknowledgement #reparations

Russ Aegard

After a "land acknowledgement" at our
school this year, I took one of my
students’ water bottles and walked to
the front of the class.

I then acknowledged that it was their
water bottle and in the spirit of
reconciliation, I felt it important to
acknowledge that it was theirs as that
would help heal ‘all of us’ for my
behaviour. I then placed it on my desk.

They looked at me and I asked them
what was wrong. They told me they
wanted their water bottle back.

Apparently the words of
acknowledgement without the action
of reconciliation (returning of stolen
property for example) didn't work for
them.

The truth is this: the myth of white supremacy has always been socialism in disguise. Not the kind rooted in fairness or justice, but one that reserves collective wealth, protections, and opportunity for whiteness alone.

The question is: will we keep letting this myth rewrite history, or will we finally acknowledge that the so-called “meritocracy” was never built without massive public investment?

B. I rarely ask for myself, but if you want to help me support my grandkids (5 of them) put a note TIP or something. Anything I can do to equip them with educational tools and experiences to achieve parity, I am most grateful for.

Every day I watch supposedly progressive people concern themselves with the wrongs upon their lives and even other continents while doing nothing to support #Reparations for the #Native#Indigenous#BIPOC#FormerlyEnslaved peoples on the stolen lands and lives they benefit from.

For those that do support our businesses & #IndigenousMutualAid; For those that understand the great harms inflicted upon us & the need for reparations; For those that do something about it, I thank you.

#FourthOfJuly
I don't talk much about the damage the #Colonization of North America and the subsequent #Independence of the #UnitedStates has done to my personal family. And I probably never will, but it has been substantial, even to this very day.

Certainly I confront what the land and resources theft, what the genocide and enslavement of millions of people has done to my people more than my mother or grandmother, who were much more shell shocked than I am.
