LIFE IN THE CITY OF DIRTY WATER

Indigenous storytelling tradition, Life in the City of Dirty Water is a series of intimate vignettes that weave together the remarkable life of Indigenous climate change activist, Clayton Thomas-Muller. “This is my story. It is the story of many Indigenous Peoples who find themselves in one of Canada’s inner cities with questions. It is the story of how we became dispossessed and how we rise.” The film plunges audiences into an immersive storytelling journey, discovering the people and places and traumas and triumphs that shaped Clayton’s identity and cosmology.

2 Heroes at Omaha Beach

Bestowed With “Freedom Prize,” Greta Thunberg Holds Up D-Day Veteran’s Call to Avert Collapse of Civilization

A love letter to indigenous people.

The truth is, we are blessed with this privilege of manoeuvring through systems of colonization, straight up. We are the frontline of access to our respective communities — this is a huge charge & high honor. We are the gatekeepers. Now that we get it, let’s focus on collecting recon, reverse infiltrating colonial spaces, & demanding liberation for our people.

A love letter to my fellow light – skinned natives by Ashley Nicole McCray

As light – skinned or white – passing natives, we acknowledge our palatability to whiteness & we acknowledge our privilege. Our hurt feelings mean absolutely nothing when our darker, more identifiably native relatives are being targeted, profiled, assaulted, & killed every.single.day
