Responding to the call out from Idle No More and Defenders of the Land UNsettle Canada 150 (unsettling150.ca), Friends of Shoal Lake 40 and other local organizers are partnering to respond to Osborne Village Canada Day festivities. Join us for some informative and engaging events designed to get Winnipeggers’ to rethink Canada Day in light of Canada’s ongoing history of colonization.
Friends of Shoal Lake 40 will be stenciling quotes from SL40 community members near Osborne Village inviting people to reflect on the 100-year inequity that exists between Winnipeg and the Indigenous community at the other end of the pipe. At the same time, fellow organizers will be holding a display table with banners, signs, and resources in front of St. Augustine United Church on River Ave. We seek to engage passersby in conversation and share information about Indigenous resistance, the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, TRC Calls to Action, and the demand for a nation-to-nation relationship that respects the rights of Indigenous Peoples. We will communicate the message that we will no longer accept the colonial system of dispossession, dependency and oppression that Canada has imposed on Indigenous Peoples.
Critical thought, and the democratic spirit, demand answers. This demonstration advocates critical assessment of the Canadian nation-state, the context of its foundation, and its imperialist, capitalist and colonialist roots and legacy. We believe such discourse is an essential and indispensable component of democracy, which must be posed in the face of nationalist enthusiasms.
We will be distributing reading material, and encourage anyone and everyone to stop by! Also, please share, etc.!
