I often image what might have happened if the newcomers were respectful of Indigenous people. I wonder what our lives would be...
- Bev Sellars @Sneena01

Elimination of Indigenous Nations as distinct political and social entities was the ultimate objective of Indian Affairs policy. ~ @RussDiabo

There is an urgent political desire for Indigenous people to "just get over it," despite that colonization continues in equally lethal ways. The goal of Indigenous assimilation & integration into "Canadian society" remains as the foundation of reconciliation ~ @Pam_Palmater

Neo-colonialism in the form of resource extraction is happening throughout Mother Earth. We see people's homes & traditional territories being turned into industrialized landscapes.
~ Melina Laboucan-Massimo @Melina_MLM

We have to choose to fight for our rights & our future or surrender & lose ourselves in a country that has shown only contempt for us. I urge those who are fighting to decolonize Canada: Fall in & carry out your duties. We will struggle together for our future! @KanahusFreedom

Canada's colonial government has been an abuser since its inception. The violence against women & the violence against Mother Earth are directly connected. In order to become survivors of this abusive relationship, we must take our power back. ~Bev Jacobs @bevisiting

Our only advantage is that our communities are spread across Canada in over a thousand locations, and they cannot take us down all at once. Unless we forcefully demand our rights... we will not receive them. ~Arthur Manuel @AbRts

Colonialism has 3 components: dispossession, dependence and oppression. Indigenous people live with these forces every day of their lives. ~ Arthur Manuel @AbRts

When blockades disrupt resource extraction & unauthorized development on Indigenous lands, they are the furthest things from relics of the past; they are a projection of an Indigenous future based on economic sustainability & defence of living homelands. @ShiriPasternak

At the heart of colonialism is the violent separation of our peoples from our social relation to the land. Any education aimed at decolonization must confront that violence. This speaks to the real need for a truly resurgent, land-based education. ~Glen Coulthard
