*Unist'ot'en Support from Unceded Algonquin Territory*

Thursday July 10, 6:00pm
CUPW offices, 377 Bank St

https://www.facebook.com/events/652106354870146

The Unist'ot'en of the Wet'suet'wen in so-called northern British Columbia
have been blocking various pipelines slated to cross through their
territories. Their multi-year long struggle to evict pipeline surveyors
from their land and build up their action camp to obstruct the path of the
pipelines is a major step in working against the destructive extraction and
transportation of tar-sands oil, liquified natural gas and more.

This meeting will be about brainstorming around how to support the
Unist'ot'en from here in unceded Algonquin Territory.

Are you interested in doing Indigenous Solidarity organizing? Do you want
to learn more about how to effectively oppose colonialism and to support
Indigenous communities and peoples?

If so, come out to the IPSM Ottawa upcoming open meeting, and get involved!

We are currently  organizing towards an Indigenous Solidarity Assembly at
the Peoples' Social Forum, and will be organizing an event in collaboration
with the Asinabka Film Festival (www.asinabkafestival.org) on July 23rd.

*About the IPSM Ottawa*

The Indigenous Peoples’ Solidarity Movement of Ottawa started as a group of
activists who did some solidarity organizing in support of the six nations
land reclamation near Caledonia, in the summer of 2006.

Since then we have been doing Indigenous solidarity organizing in many
varied ways and in support of many different people, issues, communities
and nations. Some of this work includes supporting the Tyendinaga Mohawks
during their occupation a quarry on their territory, supporting the Ardoch
Algonquin and the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nations in their opposition to a
uranium nine on their territory, and supporting local anti-racist
organizing at Carleton University.

Most of the work that we have done in the past 6 years, however, has been
in support of the Algonquin community of Barriere Lake and supporting
initiatives and groups struggling for justice for missing and murdered
Indigenous women, girls and two-spirits.

*Our Basis of Unity:*

The Indigenous Peoples Solidarity Movement – Ottawa (IPSMO) is a grassroots
organization that directly supports indigenous peoples in diverse struggles
for justice. We also work within communities to challenge the lies and
half-truths about indigenous peoples and colonization that dominate
Canadian society. The organization is open to both indigenous and
non-indigenous people, and focuses on local and regional campaigns.

As we act in solidarity with indigenous people, we build relationships
where we can learn from indigenous cultures. By doing this, we can further
decolonize ourselves, and so learn to better challenge the racist and
colonial ideas that dominate Canadian society.

We provide support to actions and campaigns for Indigenous sovereignty,
self-determination, defense of the land, environmental protection, cultural
revitalization, and the honouring of treaties and agreements.
