Buffalo jumps and handmade lingerie: the Native American artists ‘reversing colonialism’

A woman stands alone in an empty landscape, poised before a precipice. Her face is daubed with thick white paint, and she is looking back over her shoulder. On her head is a beaver-skin hat, tangled with feathers and blood-red ribbon. In front of her, the Canadian prairie stretches off into the distance.

The Inuktitut name for the current service is Kamatsiaqtut (meaning ‘thoughtful people who care’). The initial operation started with 14 volunteers, who underwent 16 hours of training. The motto of the Line was “Helping others help themselves”. Kamatsiaqtut is for everyone, not just people who are in crisis or suicidal, although we do hear from callers who do need that type of support. If someone finds themselves needing someone to talk to, whether lonely, hurting, in distress, needing information or want to share some news, good or bad, we are there to listen, assist and support.

What the coup against Evo Morales means to indigenous people like me | Nick Estes

Evo Morales is more than Bolivia’s first indigenous president – he is our president, too. The rise of a humble Aymara coca farmer to the nation’s highest office in 2006 marked the arrival of indigenous people as vanguards of history.

These are actions of a very potent symbolism, in rejecting an official version that has falsified and grossly airbrushed our history,” said Pedro Cayuqueo, a Mapuche writer and historian. “There’s something far deeper going on.

Conquistadors tumble as indigenous Chileans tear down statues

As peaceful protesters and rioters alike have thronged the streets of the Chilean capital of Santiago to protest against inequality and state repression, a string of no less symbolic blows has also been struck 650km (400 miles) to the south.
