Yesterday, @amnesty International's report on the state of human rights explained #Canada is failing to respect #IndigenousRights. Today, the RCMP is raiding the @Gidimten Checkpoint on Wet'suwet'en territory. Canada must uphold #HumanRights and #UNDRIP! ow.ly/B4xH50NvmcI

Our phones charge, and lights turn on, by electricity generated on whose land? In this country, it's often Indigenous land. This excerpt is from our latest #podcast episode, which explores the consequences of Canada's pursuit for more power. Feat @AmyNormanNL & @DecolonizeWater

Supporting #GovernanceBack starts by learning more. Together with @DecolonizeWater, we've identified different ways Indigenous land governance has been recognized in Canada.

Today, we observe National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, an opportunity for us all to recognize and commemorate the legacy of residential schools and honour Call to Action #80 from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. @OrangeShirtSoc | @TheWHL
🧡 As the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Senator Murray Sinclair was a key figure in raising global awareness of the atrocities of Canada’s residential school system. Witness his kindness and wisdom in Alanis Obomsawin's latest short → bit.ly/HtSMSdoc

"Water is linked to environmental, societal, and economic risks—from biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse to food crises [...]. Mitigating water-related risks to humans and ecosystems requires reliable accounting of freshwater resources."
