Chef Shawn Adler serves up a tasty webinar in celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Day

“As we were doing our Pow Wow celebration online for the weekend, we really wanted to make sure we brought that kind of food component home,” Simard says. “So we invited Shawn Adler from Pow Wow Cafe to show everybody how to make a Pow Wow favourite with the Indian tacos. Those that pre-registered received all of the (ingredients) at home, including (bison) meat to make some chilli, and were able to follow along and create their own Pow Wow food experience.”

REDTalks Ziindaamaget brings community together to celebrate summer solstice

“Amongst our Indigenous residents here, we’ve heard a positive response that they were able to participate online,” says Regina Mandamin, manager, Indigenous Relations and Inclusion, City of Thunder Bay and a Wiikwemkoong citizen. “For us as Indigenous people, gathering as a community especially around the summer solstice is important to our culture so with these [coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic] protocols in place today, although they are for our general public health, it is difficult and it is a challenge for us to celebrate as we usually do. But I’m really happy everyone came together.”

Democracy Now! — Trump, Mount Rushmore, COVID-19 and the KKK

“Nothing stands as a greater reminder to the Great Sioux Nation of a country that cannot keep a promise or treaty than the faces carved into our sacred land on what the United States calls Mount Rushmore.” Vigorous, indigenous-led protests are planned.

Federal And State Officials Try To Better Understand Missing And Murdered Indigenous Women Cases

“Every single tribal member could tell you that they have a story of someone being murdered and no one caring enough to investigate,” Borchardt-Slayton said. “Even after being reported, law enforcement didn’t necessarily provide any type of missing persons report.”

“I want to ensure that we’re including our sovereign nations, so that we’re having an open and honest conversation and looking at how we move forward,” Romero said.

As Arizona COVID Cases Surge From Reopening, Indigenous Nations Suffer

In the last few weeks, Black Lives Matter brought national attention to this failure. Finally, all of us see what Native, Hispanic and Black Americans long knew: We live in a political, governmental and judicial system that treats Black and brown bodies as disposable. We are governed by a collective mindset that rigidly enforces economic disparity, political disenfranchisement, environmental injustice and extreme policing. The difficult but doable task facing all of us now is to create a future more equitable and just for Indigenous people.
