Sun- Many reserves still lack clean water

Since the Trudeau government came to power in 2015, spending to improve the lives of Indigenous people has gone up 140% in seven years, from $11.4 billion annually in 2015 to a projected $27.4 billion this year.

And yet the lives of our Indigenous citizens have not demonstrably improved.

To cite just one example, despite all that spending, the Trudeau government still hasn’t fulfilled its 2015 election promise to end all drinking water advisories on reserves by March 31, 2021.

Professor Carrie Bourassa resigned from the University of Saskatchewan (USask) Wednesday over questions about her claims she’s indigenous.

Bourassa claimed to be Metis, Anishinaabe, and Tlingit, but her ancestry came into question by a CBC investigation in the fall of 2021. […]

“USask has placed Dr. Bourassa on leave and she is relieved of all her duties as professor in the USask College of Medicine in the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology. Dr Bourassa will not return to any faculty duties during this investigation,” said the USask media release.

Bourassa received millions of dollars of research grants for indigenous health and was considered a leader in the field.

The Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health removed Bourassa from her position as scientific director which is part of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

Just another reminder that race is a social construct, plus we need millions in public spending for race-based medicine, because science.

Year of the Graves: Terry Glavin, on the reaction and fallout to his adventure in residential school truth telling.

For a “mainstream” Canadian journalist to be too closely associated with me right now might be bit dangerous, owing to the bosses responsible for all the shoddy journalism I catalogue in Year of the Graves. […]

Then there are the senior journalists at top-drawer news organizations who have come to me privately. Here’s one: “We in this business have become a bunch of wankers. . . much of the industry decided it knew what was right and wrong, and chose its orthodoxy. Orthodoxies allow no room for dissent.”

“The coverage triggered protests, church arsons and condemnation from Canada’s bad-faith rivals…”

Give Terry Glavin and the National Post their due. This took guts.

This is how it all began, a year ago this week: ‘Horrible History’: Mass Grave of Indigenous Children Reported in Canada. On May 28, 2021, that’s how the New York Times headlined the first of a summer-long series of gruesome “discoveries” that precipitated a descent into paroxysms of shame, guilt and rage that swept across the country.

That first story was ostensibly about 215 children whose remains were discovered in a mass grave at the site of the long-shuttered Kamloops Indian Residential School, on the grounds of the main Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc reserve in British Columbia’s southern interior. The New York Times headline illustrates the way the story was almost universally reported.

Except that’s not what happened in Kamloops.

Indian groups are demanding that the Catholic Church pay up to sixty million dollars, before the Pope is allowed to come to Turtle Island and apologize.

UPDATE:  The CBC is excited that Indians have given permission for Big Chief Gay Eagle to raise the flags before Remembrance Day. However Justin must also display the orange missing children flag on the Peace Tower and all government buildings. And the flags must be lowered on the separate Indian veterans Remembrance Day. Apparently we have to have separate veteran’s days now for the various groups on Turtle Island.

“Financial Irregularities”

Chief Big Screen TV 22 Comments

That’s what we’re calling it now. 

The head of Sandy Bay First Nation’s child welfare agency has been fired after financial irregularities were discovered, the Southern Chiefs’ Organization alleged Wednesday.

At this point, Prince alleges millions of dollars have been taken from the CFS agency, which has about 100 children in its care, although he doesn’t yet know exactly how much.

“That’s basically like stealing from the kids,” said the chief, who was elected in October. “We’re going to do what we can to get whatever funds we can back to where it’s supposed to be.”

Featured comment from Chris;

The Federal Liberals and the BC NDP government are still ignoring the elected Wet’suwet’en leaders and siding with the radical hereditory “chiefs” in their quest to derail gas pipelines.
 
They are NOT, however, ignoring their own friends, in the process…
 

“(Former NDP MP Nathan) Cullen is being paid $250 an hour by the province up to a maximum of $2,000 per day, (BC NDP Minister of Indigenous Relations Scott) Fraser told the house, adding: “His rates are at a reasonable average.”
 
To date, Cullen has been paid $87,805 in fees and $2,593 in expenses, the ministry told Rob Shaw of The Vancouver Sun.
 
The New Democrats also recruited another federal New Democrat, former MP Murray Rankin, to lend a helping hand with the Wet’suwet’en. Since he resigned his federal seat in June of last year, he has been paid $122,278.87 in fees and $6,696.73 in expenses.
 
So to recap: a $220,000 payout to two former federal New Democrats and the elected chiefs still remain opposed to the process.”

And that’s why Reader Tips was created — so that others can do my work for me.

“These are First Nations lands. This is Indian land. Stay off our lands unless you are invited,” said Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations.
 
Public-health orders do not supersede First Nations law and treaties, Mr. Cameron says, adding that maintaining tradition and ceremony is even more important during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
“Our ceremonies, our sun dances, our sweat lodges, our pipe ceremonies will continue and no matter what any government or what the RCMP may try to say or do, those ways are going to continue.” […]
 
Indigenous Services Canada did not respond to a request for comment.

Related: The Liberal government has created entirely new divisions within the Wet’suwet’en Nation in its effort to sign an agreement with the community, according to elected leaders of the First Nation and one hereditary chief who sees the deal as a power grab by a select few Indigenous leaders.

Assembly of First Nations

 
Indigenous peoples are caretakers of Mother Earth and realize and respect her gifts of water, air and fire. First Nations peoples’ have a special relationship with the earth and all living things in it. This relationship is based on a profound spiritual connection to Mother Earth that guided indigenous peoples to practice reverence, humility and reciprocity. It is also based on the subsistence needs and values extending back thousands of years. It is also based on the subsistence needs and values extending back thousands of years. Hunting, gathering, and fishing to secure food includes harvesting food for self, family, the elderly, widows, the community, and for ceremonial purposes. Everything is taken and used with the understanding that we take only what we need, and we must use great care and be aware of how we take and how much of it so that future generations will not be put in peril.

Even as Phillips’ accusations fell apart, the media sidestepped these glaring inaccuracies and provided the Ypsilanti, Michigan man a sympathetic forum in which to air his grievances. After some pushback, the press began reporting on some of the inconsistencies surrounding Phillips’ story. More significant questions remain unasked, though, especially concerning the Native Youth Alliance, the purported non-profit Phillips started.
