Peoples: Onkweh N and Canada

peoples: Those of us not celebrating Canada's 150 are instead celebrating Onkweh n we Indigenous peoples' resilience to the genocide enacted by Canada in the name of progress and the security of settlers, according to National Observer. We also celebrate our resistance to assimilation. It is difficult to join in the celebration when it is accompanied by this level of obliviousness about colonization and how it continues to oppress Indigenous peoples. We know that many Canadians wish to have genuine reconciliation and because of that, we are proud to call them our friends and allies. Our lands must be returned, we must have control over our resources and education and traditional governance and languages must be restored. But in order to move forward, we need to have real reconciliation accompanied by restitution. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
