There’d be no hate at all.
On Tuesday, the president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, Frank Star Comes Out, made headlines by claiming that four members of his tribe were unlawfully detained by ICE and calling for their immediate release. He also claimed that the federal government tried to force him to “enter into an immigration agreement with ICE.”
To coin a phrase, “That’s not entirely accurate.”
Mr. Star Comes Out apparently felt that Native Americans were being left out of all the victimization of oppressed minorities in Minnesota and decided to shoulder his way onto the stage.
Democrats and the media leapt at the story that Native Americans, “Americans” before anyone else got here, were being rounded up by evil ICE and thrown into a detention camp.
The only problem with this juicy news item was that it wasn’t true.
ICE never even encountered any Ogala Sioux and never asked for an immigration agreement. The tribe only gave ICE the first names of the supposed detainees. It’s not unreasonable to speculate that the entire “incident” was a publicity stunt, a set-up from the start.
“ICE did NOT ask the tribe for any kind of agreement; we have simply asked for basic information on the individuals, such as names and date of birth, so that we can run a proper check to provide them with the facts,” Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said.
Can someone please explain to me why the massacre of Jews at Bondi Beach is being commemorated as an example of *Islamophobia* at the Manitoba Legislature?

CTV- ‘Woefully inadequate’ response to Kashechewan crisis, officials say
The crisis began after the water treatment system failed, sending sewage into homes and contaminating the water. It also flooded the only health-care facility, requiring a temporary move to the community school. Residents are still without potable water, but bottled water has been brought into the community.
Probably just a one off event…

Francisco- I made it down to the 2021 headlines. A lot seems to go on there.
The sheer magnitude of this taxpayer largess boggles the mind. And yet many reserves are without potable water. My guess is that most of the money is going to lawyers and “consultants”. It’s long past the point where this needs to stop, but a population browbeaten by the residential school mythology seems tragically incapable of raising any objections.
When the Liberals first took power in 2015, their own estimates showed that total federal government spending on what they deemed “Indigenous priorities” was about $11 billion. Within 10 years, this had nearly tripled. By 2024, internal Department of Finance estimates were showing that planned “investments in Indigenous Priorities” were set to hit $32 billion.
Put another way, it would take Manitoba’s entire annual economic activity just to cover the increase in federal Indigenous spending since 2014.
At first glance, I thought I was looking at a parody account. But it’s a real thing, complete with a central figure who seems to be channeling Timothy Treadwell.
The non-profit Vancouver Foundation is one of B.C.’s oldest charitable contributors, and in its most recently updated list of grant recipients, it lists a $300,000 grant for a “Decolonial Dog Sanctuary,” a project described as a “form of land-based re-occupation.”
The sanctuary’s overseer is Teresa Brown, who lives on site and is described in Vancouver Foundation grant documents as a “Wilp Matriarch and Hereditary Representative of the territory.”
Brown has said she had limited knowledge of dog care before starting the sanctuary, but believed that aggressive dogs could “evolve into versions of themselves that thirst again for love.”
Blacklock’s- Feds Seal 215 Graves Records
The Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations is sealing all reports filed by a Kamloops, B.C. First Nation that was paid to exhume the purported graves of 215 children at an Indian Residential School. “Confidential information,” the department wrote in denying an Access To Information request for the records.
The Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation received $12.1 million in funding for “exhumation of remains” and forensic DNA testing after announcing in 2021 it had discovered the graves in an orchard using ground-penetrating radar. No remains have been recovered to date.
While some aboriginal communities welcome the prospect of roads and mines in the so-called Ring of Fire zone in Ontario, some clearly don’t. They prefer to live in a “pristine” wilderness that for some reason is not pristine enough to provide clean drinking water for thirty years.
The province has released a Ring of Fire ad that uses Ford’s slogan from the 2025 election: “Protect Ontario” and makes a sales pitch on development. “What about protect Neskantaga?” Marcus Moonias says. “I’m so mad about it.”
“I almost threw my television at the wall,” he says about the commercial.
Bigger dreams are starting to enter Mamakwa’s mind. He thinks one day a First Nation political party could hold the balance of power in Ottawa, like a Bloc Québécois of the north.
A B.C. property company says a lender has pulled out of financing a new building because of the recent Cowichan Tribes ruling that granted Aboriginal title to more than three square kilometres in Richmond.
Montrose Property Holdings, which develops industrial warehouses on land it owns, some of it in the Aboriginal claims area, said it had been in “advanced discussions” with the lender which it had successfully dealt with several times before, and a prospective tenant.
But talks ended because of “uncertainties and risk allocation issues” raised by the B.C. Supreme Court ruling in August, the company says in an application to reopen the court case that will be filed soon.
Montrose said it spent about $7.5 million advancing the project and expected to borrow another $35 million to complete construction.
The company said discussions have also ceased for the same reason with companies such as Fortis and Enbridge to develop a facility to capture landfill gas, rather than flare it. Those discussions had been underway for six years.
The 31-page application to reopen the case and a 1,200-page supporting affidavit, which have been sent to the parties involved in the case, were shared with Postmedia.
Article contentThe business effects Montrose says it is experiencing from the Cowichan decision are among the first specific examples to be aired publicly.
If you make major investments in a province that votes NDP, what follows is really your own damned fault.
BC MLA Dallas Brodie is one brave woman for putting together a critical examination of the residential school issue. My opinion: we’re in the grip of another mass formation that has been building since the early 1990s. It’s time to put a stop to this before we experience the Zimbabwe solution in real time.
Well, that response took all of about ten minutes to develop. Maybe fifty percent unemployment across the country would change their attitude, but I’m not too confident about that.
Assembly of First Nations chiefs voted unanimously on Tuesday to demand the withdrawal of a new pipeline deal between Canada and Alberta, while expressing full support for First Nations on the British Columbia coast that strongly oppose the initiative.
The resolution also urges Canada, Alberta and B.C. to recognize the climate emergency and uphold the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Hardly a week has passed since the memorandum of understanding with Alberta, and already the Libs are laying the groundwork for endless “unavoidable” delays. At this rate, I don’t know why Guilbeault found it necessary to quit caucus at all.
On his way into a cabinet meeting Tuesday morning, the former minister of Crown-Indigenous relations told reporters he sees a difficult road ahead for any pipeline project.
“If everyone thought Thursday was difficult, that was probably the easiest day in the life of that pipeline,” Miller said.
What’s not to love about a sovereign wealth fund where others are forced to pony up the seed capital? It also helps to imagine that such a fund could not possibly make anything but the wisest investments.
Chief Joe Miskokomon said the fund would be a “critical step” forward in bolstering the economic capacity of First Nations.
“We’re not saying to take out the banks,” Miskokomon said in an interview.
“What we’re saying is the banks don’t need to have as much as a say as they do.”

National Post- Canada wasn’t ‘stolen’ from Indigenous people
In short, the Americas were settled in waves from Asia. Everyone alive today is descended from settlers. The latest “Indigenous” settlers arrived barely ahead of the first European settlers, the Vikings, who settled in Greenland and Newfoundland, and of Christopher Columbus, who started Spanish settlement in the Caribbean.
Members of the Commons heritage committee are demanding an inventory of 132 works that vanished from a $14.4 million federal Indigenous Art Collection, largest of its kind in Canada. Conservative MP Rachael Thomas (Lethbridge, Alta.) said mismanagement by the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations was “despicable.”
Globe and Mail- Alaska tribal nations demand a say on Canadian resource projects
The Alaska legal challenge is part of an escalating effort by U.S. tribal groups to assert rights in Canada in the wake of the 2021 Desautel decision, in which Canada’s Supreme Court found that the Lakes Tribe in eastern Washington state should be considered Aboriginal peoples of Canada, given their historical use of land that is now B.C. In the years since, several U.S. groups have used the decision to assert themselves in Canadian affairs
If you pony up enough money to the paleolithic set, maybe your project can go ahead.
Jonathan Wilkinson, a B.C. Liberal MP and a former federal environment minister, said today that “a number of things” would need to happen before the tanker ban could change, including discussions with the B.C. government and coastal First Nations.
Scroll down to see the Financial Post point out the errors in Eby’s arguments.
As the saying goes, you’re entitled to your own opinion but not to your own facts. Premier Eby’s objections to another Alberta pipeline are rooted in fallacies, not fact. The Carney government should recognize that and decide soon whether or not another pipeline to B.C. tidewater is “in the national interest” — which apparently is how you get a permit to build major projects in Canada these days.
