sabotabbyI am so backlogged with these.
Today's highlighted episode is from canadaLANDBACK, and it's called "Canada Is Hoarding the Land." It features artists Christi Belcourt and Isaac Murdoch, co-founders of the Onaman Collective, talking about their work establishing the Nimkii Aazhibikong culture camp and the history of land theft and the future of what is actually possible in terms of land back.
First of all it's possible that some of my international/non-art-obsessed readers don't know who Christi Belcourt is so go Google her if you don't. Even if you don't listen to the podcast you'll thank me later.
Second of all it's an interesting fact that I heard only recently that 80% of all land in Canada is quote-unquote "Crown Land." Which means like. Canada could just return it tomorrow to Indigenous stewardship and it would not actually affect settlers. Yes, the goal is complete transformation of so-called Canada but this is some low-hanging fruit that doesn't get mentioned nearly enough in discussions of how Land Back could actually happen.
Anyway, it is a really interesting, pragmatic discussion of history and justice, very accessible, and featuring some cool people whomst I admire a great deal. So go check it out!
