here's how to get a copy of Matike Mai Aotearoa, an extremely carefully crafted document which every adult New Zealander should read:

"we have a real opportunity right now to move the conversation along. It’s clear from the response to the Treaty Principles bill that 100s of 1000s of people across Aotearoa are ready for a constructive, principled discussion about Te Tiriti & its role in our constitution. It seems to me that we are more ready than ever to explore the potential of constitutional transformation & take up the vision of Matike Mai Aotearoa."

Gord Hill doesn’t mince words—decolonization isn’t a metaphor. It means land back, autonomy, and dismantling colonial systems. Watch this clip to hear what it really means, in his own words.
This is part of A Red Road to the West Bank, a documentary in development about Indigenous and Palestinian resistance.
We’re grassroots-funded—help us finish the film and get a keffiyeh as a thank-you gift.

* Did you know?

The Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) is not just history — it's the foundation of Malaysia.

✅ Sabah & Sarawak did NOT join Malaysia — they CO-FOUNDED it together with Malaya and Singapore.
✅ MA63 is an international treaty signed by all parties and witnessed by the UK.
✅ It promised special autonomy to Sabah & Sarawak in areas like immigration, education, religion, and resource control.
✅ Full MA63 implementation = a real federation, with equal partners — not central control from KL.
✅ Honoring MA63 is NOT anti-Malaysia. It is how Malaysia was meant to be: fair, united, and just.

We don’t need to fight to divide. We need to speak up to restore.

7.5: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Four Great Things We Take for Granted and Ought to Fight to Keep

In these dark times of (American) political backsliding/the general rise of fascism in the Global North, Ariel and Christina consider four things that we'd made great progress on, to the point of taking those achievements for granted. Let's take the time to acknowledge them and the danger we are in of losing them. Because how can we fight for what we don't recognize as being incredible yet fragile?

PS: We definitely didn't plan on this coming out on the day of the Canadian federal election, but so it goes. Go forth and fight the fascists at the ballot box, friends.

This think-piece makes a case for addressing the colonial roots of sustainability which have led to dispossession and violence, especially for Indigenous and marginalised communities in the majority world.

SpringerLinkThe Challenges of Decolonising Sustainability and the Environment in Development Studies (DS) - The European Journal of Development ResearchThis think-piece makes a case for addressing the colonial roots of sustainability. It examines how enduring colonial mechanisms and biases have led to certain forms of value and valuing, problematic views of ‘pristine nature’ and processes of extractivism. These in turn have led to dispossession and violence, especially for Indigenous and marginalised communities in the majority world. It explores how studies on the environment and sustainability have sought to implicitly or explicitly challenge these colonial biases and their impacts. Researchers working on the environment, gender and sustainability have brought together Development Studies (DS) with science technology studies (STS), (feminist) political ecology, anthropology and feminist epistemology. This has resulted in strong engagements with the politics of knowledge, the colonial roots of environmental problems and the need to lift the perspectives and voices of historically marginalised groups to promote alternative ways of doing and understanding development and nature/society relations. Researchers working in other fields of DS could do more to draw on these diverse perspectives, especially since epistemic and material inequalities and power structures are interlinked and mutually reinforcing. I also focus on the dangers of decolonisation becoming a buzzword without much change in actual practices in ways of working and collaborating.

I have to have a serious talk with one of my Metis friends on how she needs to do a lot more decolonization work. It's due to her reaction to my annual Earth Day call for #Indigenous #LandBack. She's still very colonial indoctrinated. Her response to any landback statements is: "Every earthling needs earth and land 🌎 happy earth day."

If you still have a #colonial #mindset like this - it tells me that you need a ton more #decolonization work. Landback isn't about making sure ONLY Indigenous peoples have lands. It's about recognizing colonial land theft & the ongoing colonial genocide of Indigenous peoples by colonial capitalists. It's about respect & genuine reconciliation for Indigenous peoples. It is literally the least we can do as settlers on stolen Indigenous lands.

Beau used his day off to go hiking up a mountain to do some #CedarBark #harvesting for more traditional #CoastSalish #weaving work.
He sent me photos as he hiked through the forest. These are just the bark harvest related photos with one fairy slipper orchid wildflower photo - he knows my fave colour is purple 🥰

A collage of images showing the process of stripping bark from a cedar tree and its uses. Images include a cedar tree with a long strip of bark removed revealing smooth wood underneath, close-up of hand touching stripped bark, rolled up harvested bark, forest floor scenery consisting of moss, twigs, and a purple wildflower.

This is an amazing quote by Irish revolutionary James Connolly. Very relevant to Americans today.

“We will not blame him for the crimes of his ancestors if he relinquishes the royal rights of his ancestors; but as long as he claims their rights, by virtue of descent, then, by virtue of descent, he must shoulder the responsibility for their crimes.”
― James Connolly
