Danielle Smith tried to pull the "free speech" card so Canadians wouldn't weigh in on her "sovereign Alberta" bs. Canadians agree free speech doesn't include holding private meetings with foreign powers #Treaty6 is the call on sovereignty, the first nations that form Canada. #TrumpedUpDanielleSmith

Sorry for the Alberta Premiere, but she was elected to serve the People, not to own the Land - PERIOD!

It’s called treason! And fuk them - this is all Indian land - they can fuk all the way off! 🪶✊🏽 #Treaty6 #Treaty7 #Treaty8

Recall that traitor. She's destroying Alberta, and allowing chaos. And the fact that we are at a crossroads, and she is allowing things to escalate. She doesn't deserve to be Premier of Alberta. #maplemaga #stokingthefire #treaty6 #treaty7 #treaty8 #byefelicia

What an imbecile. These ppl don't even understand what they are routing for: which is there own demise. They would simply be a vassal state. Incredible. Thank goodness it'll never happen. #treaty6 #treaty7 #treaty8 #abpoli

How about a Swap? We take #WA #OR #CA for what's left over after #Treaty6, #Treaty7, #Treaty8, portions of #Treaty4 and #Treaty10 as well as any unceded territories recognition.
Btw. How did @JeffreyRWRath Conduct hearing before the Alberta Law Society go?

A promotional sign for nâpêhkâsowinowâk which explores the evolving meaning of being a warrior in today’s world through the eyes of young Indigenous men. Instead of focusing solely on traditional notions of bravery, the exhibition expands the idea of the “warrior” to include witnessing, recording, and bearing testimony to lived experiences. The exhibition delves into themes of identity, pop culture, celebration, emotion, political response, and the complex layers of grief.

A young indigenous woman sits in the gallery, looking at the art in silence.

Day Job Update...
Negotiated an afterschool visit to the Art Gallery for 22 Indigenous youth & 5 staff. Gracious free-admission granted with a curator to help contextualize the #art from 'nâpêhkâsowinowâk' an exhibit on warriorhood in a contemporary context. #thankyou #community #artsky #treaty6

The Visionaries (maquette) Artist Barbara Paterson While the statue presents a conversation between the two university founders about the location of the proposed university, there is a deeper, layered history that the statue overlooks. The map held by Rutherford depicts a section of land marked with the number 5, which would become the future home of the University of Alberta. This map illustrates the presence of Métis river lots and specifically marks River Lot 5, along the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River. River Lot 5 was also a place where the Laurent Garneau family lived, played and made a living. River lots were included in the 1882 Dominion of Canada Survey for the settlement of Edmonton, Northwest Territories. The statue, however, provides limited visual information on who was present on the land and suggests that it was uninhabited before the university’s establishment. The history of these lands, prior to European contact in western Canada, included Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Dene, Néhiyaw (Cree) and Stoney Nakoda Nations. There would have been agreements or treaties in place between these Nations around sharing of the land. In essence, the statue simplifies the layered history of the land and points to the erasure of First Nations presence, of Treaty Six (signed in 1876) history, and the disenfranchisement of the Papaschase Cree Nation and their reserve (No. 136) lands. Large statues such as “The Visionaries” serve to publicly affirm the history and authority of those who are portrayed in the work. Although intended to celebrate the institutional founding of the University of Alberta, the statue brings to light the importance of acknowledging Indigenous Peoples and lands, and the way complex and layered histories are remembered and commemorated on campus. This is the endeavour of the people who continue to work and study at the University of Alberta today. University of Alberta Art Collection University of Alberta Museums

Happy #Thanksgiving from Miss Xev. We acknowledge that we are on #Treaty6 territory, traditional territory to the #Cree, #Dene, #Nakota, #Saulteaux, #Ojibwe, & home to the #Metis Nation. This beautiful country gave refuge, without it & its people I would not exist. I have much to be thankful for.
