[Indigsol] [Fwd: [pga-ottawa] REMINDER: Tonight, Ottawa solidarity with indigenous peoples]

[Ben Powless]

yea i sent them an email to let them know we exist, asked them if they had
ever been in contact with ipsmo ppl, they said no, they just formed around
working on barriere lake solidarity. i can send out the minutes they sent. i
didnt recognize any ipsmo names on the attendees list, but i could be wrong.

> A group of people have come together around the solidarity work with the

> We believe that, as an immigrant/settler population, we need to work with
> the original peoples of this land to organize and stand up for their rights
> and to undo the process of colonialism and genocide that has been enacted
> upon them. We recognize their status as nations equal in relations to the
> Canadian (or American) state and not subjects of it, as the First Nations
> that they are.
>
> To this end, a formal gathering will occur this coming Tuesday to bring
> together people who are interested in forming this broader coalition to
> work
> with various specific initiatives (ie Barriere Lake, uranium mining,
> Victoria Island Asinabka, ...) while also having a more holistic approach
> to
> building supportive and collaborative long-term relations with the
> Indigenous peoples of this land.
