The Office of the Treaty Commissioner and the Government of Saskatchewan are aiming to spread awareness around treaty boundaries by putting up new signs along four busy highways in the province. A pair of signs will be visible on highways in the Estevan, Moosomin, Lanigan and La Ronge areas welcoming drivers into a specific treaty territory. Each one incorporates Indigenous languages specific to their location, treaty medals provided to First Nations following treaty negotiations and the phrase that represents the spirit and intent of the treaties: As long as the sun shines, grass grows, and rivers flow.

'Digging for the Red Roots' by Mahir Adal-Razzaaq El — “Native American contact with Islam began over one thousand years ago...”

Manta rays are a large species of rays that are filter feeders . They are classified as vulnerable by the IUCN . These rays are known for their long migration either individually or in a group.

There are two species of manta rays:

The oceanic manta ray

Reef manta rays

Manta rays have live births to a pup or two. It may take them a few years to reproduce again and this is why it is harder for their populations to bounce back from anthropogenic threats which include:

Bycatch

Boat collisions

Pollution

Net entanglement

Overfishing (their gills are used in Chinese medicine and delicacies)

Internationally,manta rays are protected by the Convention on migratory species (a treaty protecting migrating species) in the high seas . They face more threats in coastal waters than in international waters.

Some countries have banned fishing for manta rays as they are a huge economic boost ,very popular with tourists. In a Indonesia, a single manta ray in a tourist hotspot can generate approximately a million dollars in its lifetime.

What else do you want to know about manta rays?

I Have Not Signed a Treaty with the United States Government // Chrystos

nor has my father nor his father nor any grandmothers We don’t recognize these names on old sorry paper. Therefore we declare the United States a crazy person nightmare   lousy food  ugly clothes  bad meat nobody we know No one wants to go there.  This US is theory   illusion terrible ceremony   The United States can’t dance  can’t cook has no children   no elders   no relatives They build funny houses no one lives in but Everything the United States does to everybody is bad No this US is not a good idea   We declare you terminated You’ve had your fun now go home we’re tired   We signed no treaty   WHAT  are you still doing here  Go somewhere else and build a McDonald’s   We’re going to tear all this ugly mess down now   We revoke your papers your soap suds   your stories are no good your colors hurt our feet   our eyes are sore our bellies  are tied in sour knots  Go Away Now You must be some ghost in the wrong place   wrong time Pack up your toys   garbage   lies We  who are alive now Have signed no treaties Burn down your stuck houses  you’re sitting in a nowhere gray glow  Your spell is dead Go so far away we won’t remember you ever came here Take these words back with you

Real People, Real History

In July I wrote a post about exploring what what sort of Land Acknowledgement I might ethically make. It's not so easy and I am still working on it.

Today reading about the Dickson Mounds Museum the article related a story the interim director, Logan Pappenfort told. When he was a child other children teased him saying he could not be Native American because "Indians are extinct." When he was older and learning about the Dickson Mounds museum he realized the connection between his classmates and the museum: “They weren’t actually looking at my ancestors as people.”

The history of people on the land where I live goes back at least 19,000 years, a length of time I can't really imagine clearly. There is quite a lot of history written around the global confict called the Seven Years' War (1754-1763). This history provides a window onto the people who lived here. It's from a colonial perspctive and so is difficult for me to parse.

Two treaties between the United States and indigenous peoples, The Treaty of Fort Pitt and the Canandaigua Treaty provide more direct links between the land I inhabit and indigenous people living today.

Here are four governments representing people I am connected to by way of the land and treaties where I live:

Delaware Nation at Moraviantown, in southern Ontario

Delaware Tribe of Indians, in northeastern, Oklahoma

Delaware Nation, in central Oklahoma

Seneca Nation of Indians

The particular histories of these people, me, and the United States helps to provide a better perspective about relationships between indigenous people and the United States all over this land. 

I am not satisfied with this satement, but today I say:

Where I call home is part of the traditonal territory of the Lenni-Lenape and through the waterways owe a particular debt to the Onandowaga people.

It is important to mend historical injustices and not to pepetuate further injustice.

I had struck my course, my stand was taken and General Coffee Knew it, When Colonel Terrell finished I said to him: When General Coffee attempts to buy my honesty, he must have a pile of money high as my head and then I will Keep my honesty still, and the money must come too from the United States Treasury and not from my Nation's pocket to put in mine, and then my honesty shall stay with me still.

So for anyone who doesn’t keep up with nz politics, which i’m assuming is most of you, our new radical right government have decided one of their main aims of their term will be to re-interpret the Treaty of Waitangi.

The Treaty is an agreement between Maori and the Crown, now the NZ government. It is the founding document of new zealand and is recognised as a constitutional document today; it is the only treaty of its kind/time still honoured, and it is the steps we’ve taken through the Treaty to provide restitution and build an ongoing relationship with Maori and their iwi (tribes) that has allowed the relationship between Maori and the government to thrive where other indigenous groups have struggled to achieve recognition of their rights.

This is going to be entirely undone. Not only is this issue inflammatory and a threat to race relations in Aotearoa, leaked documents show the proposed “reinterpretation” wants to negate pretty much the entirety of the legal rights provided to Maori under the treaty. For example, the treaty article that guarantees land rights for Maori will be reinterpreted to guarantee land rights for “all New Zealanders”. Which means this article would be essentially meaningless for Maori.

By removing Maori from the context they are trying to put Maori on an “equal footing” with all New Zealanders; they are riding the idea that Maori have special rights and privileges above that of the average New Zealander. Obviously this is bullshit but it’s effective rhetoric and there’s a grain of truth to in that the extent of Maori rights hadn’t been clearly defined due to the ongoing nature of the process. So this has got a lot of people with a poor grasp of the issues very upset and baying for change.

There is a hui (meeting) being held today for all the iwi to begin discussions of how Maori will respond to this. New Zealand politics isn’t very interesting usually, but our progress on indigenous rights, until now, has been absolutely ahead of the field. If you care about indigenous rights globally, you should care about this, because in the same way Australia’s referendum loss has spurred on this action, the loss of rights here will spur other right wing governments to be similarly bold to their own indigenous groups.

Indigenous rights in New Zealand are under attack. They are meeting today to discuss it, and New Zealand will be listening, but I want the world to be listening. Because our government needs the shame of being called out by more than just the people who they’ve already decided don’t vote for them.

Maori have a long and proud history of fighting for their rights, and they’ll do it again here. And I’ll be on the pickets beside them, but there’ll be plenty of my own pickets to attend, because this government is radical in every sense of the word.

So please, even if you’re very far away, stand behind them in this. Keep your eyes on us. Amplify their voices. Don’t let the racism drown them out.
