Negative Spin attached to Idle No More

There has been a considerable amount of, 'Negative spin', attached to the Idle No More Movement, by voices of the Canadian Media, along with the various inevitable Conservative Government tactics of intervention. Regardless of such efforts to diffuse these issues, and to distract the greater population of Canada, the extensive underlying  issues of destructive Canadian  Political Process remain.
These destructive Political Processes have, over the centuries of their development, become intrinsic to the Canadian Political Process as it relates to the Indigenous Peoples of this Land. These Destructive Processes are the direct reflection of the long-standing intent of the Canadian power structure to eliminate the internationally recognized Rights and Title of the Indigenous Peoples of this Land.
These are the issues that have finally driven Indigenous People from across Canada, and around the world, to this present place of protest.
Our youth have seen the endless, and the pointless path of 'requesting' the attentions and the positive and productive cooperation of Ottawa.  Over the years they have heard the echoes ring out across this land, as the doors of Parliament have repeatedly slammed shut in the faces of Indigenous Leadership. To ever increasing degrees, the  Indigenous Youth of Canada find themselves at a place where they are prepared to stand and to be heard.
As I see it, Idle No More is, 'The tip of the iceberg', in terms of the centuries old struggle of Indigenous Peoples against Colonialism, and against all forms of social and racial oppression.

The struggle of Indigenous Canadians began in earnest through the determined and unified effort, which eventually stopped the so-called, 'White Paper', of the Trudeau Government.
This also marked the time of the beginning of the International effort to unify Indigenous Peoples toward the International recognition and protection of our inherent Indigenous Human Rights around the world.

As the months and years tick past, Indigenous Leadership and Membership become more adept at dealing with the Legal System in this country. Indigenous People in all parts of Canada are struggling to have their Indigenous and Human Rights recognized and upheld by the Canadian system of Due Process. Increasingly these struggles produce high levels of success in key battles in the Courts.

It will always be through our own determined efforts, working together as Individual Traditional Indigenous Peoples, that we will ensure the establishment and the longevity of our best interests, within or without, this Country of Canada.

Composite sketch of suspect in New Hazelton hitchhiking incident


The RCMP are looking for public’s assistance after an incident involving a female hitchhiker in the Kispiox area near New Hazelton, and have released a new composite sketch.

She was picked up by a man driving a red minivan and after a brief conversation, the woman became very uncomfortable and asked to get out of the vehicle.

However, the driver did not stop and continued driving in the opposite direction from her intended destination.

When the driver slowed to cross a bridge, she jumped from the window of the vehicle.

The man did not stop.

He was last seen in the Hagwilget area on Highway 62, driving towards Highway 16.

The driver is described as Caucasian, heavy set, approximately 40 to 50 years of age. He has grey hair and was wearing dark brown glasses and a jean jacket.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the New Hazleton RCMP Detachment.


Read it on Global News: Global BC | Composite sketch of suspect in New Hazelton hitchhiking incident 


Please note: This crime was committed on or about December 24, 2012. It was reported on Global TV News on or about December 27, 2012. This Composite drawing was not released until now, January 23, 2013. So this man could now be anywhere in the world, or he could be holed up in his home or the home of someone else. Something that is not mentioned in these reports is that any portion of the man's face and head that we see in this composite drawing could be a costume. These creatures are extremely cunning and deceptive, as well as ruthless and deadly.

Comments made in reference to the Idle No More Movement

Opinion: Our relationship with aboriginal peoples remains shameful

'...We appear to think we can implant a credible justice system in such faraway countries as Afghanistan or Haiti while in our own backyard (as a direct result of both Historic, and presently developing, Canadian Politics and Policy), aboriginals live in conditions equally squalid, without our full attention, and without credible policies to correct what we have created...'

From a Indigenous Perspective, I see that as a result of the Idle No More Movement, the Canadian Conscience has begun to stir. Increasingly we read opinions such as this by Ivy Weir. I believe that there are many other Canadians who harbor such sentiments, but as yet have not taken the initiative to express these to the world at large. I also believe that there are many Canadians who simply feel that they do not know enough about these issues, and so cannot make an informed comment. To those I can only say that complacency is no longer an option.
This in no longer only a Canadian Indigenous People's conversation about Canadian Indigenous People's issues. In fact, with incredible speed, this has broken free from the confines of that historic Canadian socio-political dungeon.
This discussion has quickly evolved, to leap beyond being a Canadian National Conversation around Indigenous People's Issues. It has sparked the beginnings of a Public International Discussion of the morals and the principles of present day, and future Political and Social and Corporate Leadership and Function within Human Society. This discussion now pertains to the longevity of the Human Species on this Planet.

This is moving toward being a discussion of the determinations that we, as public members of International Society, will build into the quality of the future of Human Society all around the world. A common thread of international concern is the rapturous level of unbridled Corporate greed, and the associated lack of Government interest or ability to dis-sway the social and environmental impacts of Corporate Interests.  

So, in the interest of protecting the future generations of your own families, you, are now on stage. What will you do? What do you have to say? What is your prerogative?
You must realize that we are all at a critical point in the social history of Humanity. Corporations and Governments around the globe presently run amok with a free slate to re-shape laws as they see fit, for their own benefit, and without consideration for the population. As a result of such changes, our children, and all future generations will suffer. It is only the actions of 'The man, and the Woman, and the Child on the street', that will control these corporations and Government actions. There is no longer time for you to remain in the shadows of apprehension. We are all in this together and we must remain, 'Idle No More'.

Free All Canadians From The Blinders





January 1st, 2013:

As Indigenous People here in Canada, our present concern is the protection and the assertion of our Indigenous Human Rights, along with the Indigenous Human Rights of our future generations, who will be living here in our various Traditional Homeland Territories.
At this point in Canadian History, as history plays itself out, we find that we share many common concerns with all Canadians, and that all open minded Canadians share common concerns with us. This is a sign that together we are in the process of escaping the thought control determinations, of the closely associated Canadian and  American Education Systems, as is invoked by the selection of Curriculum and  instructional materials, by those who control the direction of, 'Higher Learning,' within these two countries. 
This process of common escape has begun to free all Canadians from the blinders of a self-protecting, North, and Central, American socio-political system that has many bonafide interests in maintaining a blanket of ignorance toward the realities of the on-going, social and political issues, presently being pursued by Indigenous People's Leadership Across Canada.


 As The Indigenous Peoples of Canada, we stand as the most viable option for asserting the preservation efforts of all things that Canadians have come to consider to be precious and worth protecting in terms of pristine lands, fresh air and water resources, the wildlife, the wilderness with its irreplaceable and incredibly delicate ecology.
 Not to be left out of our group of common concerns is, 'The Democratic Process,' which has become a prized hallmark of what it means to be 'Canadian' in the eyes of the International Community. 
Here, as we each critically examine the depth and the breadth of our Identity as Canadian Citizens, our common concern is that the present, 'Conservative Party of Canada Leadership,' is destroying all of these things that we all consider to be of prime, and indeed, crucial importance to us all. 

The following is a link that will help you to start a petition for change.  There are many others online.
Make a difference for yourself and for your future generations.
