If you haven't yet seen #taken on #aptn, I highly, highly recommend it..this groundbreaking series from #eaglevision explores cases of #mmiwg2s #mmimb2s from a humane, informative, and family and community led perspective.
You can find the series on https://watchaptnplus.ca/, for only about 5.00 a month #cad with a free trial.
I believe episodes are accessible from the #usa as well.

Here in the Canadian prairies, earlier this evening the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) was showing Star Wars (1977) dubbed in (I believe) Cree.
It was pretty great. And I have to say, the elder/actor that they used to dub Obi-Wan Kenobi was fantastic. He sounded perfect for a Jedi who has Seen Things for a long, long time.

The #Anishnabe community of #Kitsicakik in northwestern #Quebec will have access to #electricity after 50 years. It is one of the last communities in the country to be without power and it cost $35 million to accomplish.

In Canada, the histories of residential school survivors are being challenged by a surge of denialism. Dismantling Denialism confronts those attempts to rewrite history ā and explores what it will take to defend truth and reconciliation.

I kind of think that all the non-Allistics are sort of the same, the Neolithic people are the Indigenous people are the āAutistics,ā all lack or recently lacked the genes for Allism - so I think (as many white savour assholes do), I think Iām one of this grouping which includes the Indigenous in my mind, and I think with this post I am fighting for, āus,ā against Allistic, āhistory,ā which is part of their propaganda war on the world.
.
I know, no-one is going to allow me this, and I know this from my own family, if Iām an enemy everything I just said is the worst, and here I am, Godās fool, thinking Iām a friend.
.
If you think Iām an enemy, then Iām sorry for all of it. š

Got some #APTN on, and itās not my place to say, but when the Turtle Islanders talk about themselves as warriors, I prefer not to agree that it was the pre-contact state of things. I mean, there are the central and south american warrior nightmares, but the story of the Columbian critique says life wasnāt constant war further north.
.
I would prefer to think the raiding and the conflict and wars happened after the Euros arrived and hasnāt this already been shown elsewhere, like Africa? Unfortunately, Allistic genocide and cultural erasure has power, and the life before it became all
inter-human conflict on Turtle Island has been buried, and the only history that exists is theirs, conflict, so all many of us know of Turlte Island history is the Aztecs and the wild west. Peace registers as ānothing,ā to the moderns, āundiscovered,ā violent history.
.
Iām a dreamer, itās my superpower.
.
So Iām a white man, telling Turtle Islanders who they are, where theyāre from, thatās not the intended context, and Iām sorry if thatās what you feel from me, itās meant to be that Iām an Autistic, telling Allistics and everyone in this Allistic world a less Allistic version of history.

A comedy about a young, Innu, single mother, living in Nunavut, and learning who and what she is in the world with the help of her small town on the shore of the Arctic Ocean.
I cannot imagine how that pitch went with Netflix, but they partnered with the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and #CBC, and the result is great.
Itās heartwarming, realistic, culturally sensitive without being cloying (thereās no sense of ālook at these kooky Northerners!ā here), genuinely funny, and well made.
The performances are solid from everyone (even the Elders), the writing is darned good, and both the cinematography and direction are great.
Itās renewed for more episodes.
Really recommended.

100% this. #kinew and co. also couldn't be bothered to respond to #aptn directly when asked for comment...which is especially cowardly and unprofessional, as they are #indigenous leaders not responding to an indigenous network.

After weeks of criticism from #FirstNations leaders, the federal government has amended its major projects bill to withdraw the power it gave cabinet to sidestep the #IndianAct.
The #Liberal governmentās controversial legislation, which would allow cabinet to quickly grant federal approvals for big industrial projects like mines, ports and pipelines, sailed through committee in the early hours of Thursday.
Ah, Beautiful Scars coming up on #APTN š
