fnmi identity fraud resources (“First Nations, Métis, Inuit” - the new terminology to replace the word “Indigenous.”)

ghostwarriorsociety.com/kiskin

(im not sure how far known this term is so im putting indigenous in the hashtag for better reach, but will remove if called in/out this is actually a resource that's more for non-fnmi so that we can stop getting misinformation from outside the community)

…#Trump's vocal interest has shaken up the status quo, & coupled w/the growing pride of the #Indigenous people in their #Inuit culture, put #independence front & center in the election.

In the final debate on #Greenland's state broadcaster KNR late on Mon, leaders of the 5 parties currently in parliament unanimously said they did not trust Trump.

"He is trying to influence us. I can understand if citizens feel insecure," said Erik Jensen, leader of govt coalition partner Siumut.

Canada and the RCMP did/do awful things to Inuit. One of these things was the widespread slaughter of dogs. Inuit relied upon these dogs for food, transportation, and protection.

An elder I know remembers the slaughter. Her father was out on the tundra with his dog team when RCMP came to her community and killed every dog.

He stayed out on the tundra alone with his dogs for months. He had to keep the dogs hidden from the cops or those dogs would've been killed too. He and his dog team kept that community fed all that time. Without his hunting, they would have starved. rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/173230 #Inuit #Canada #RCMP #DogSlaughter #SledDog #TruthAndReconciliation #genocide #colonialism

Related to this, @anderspuck has an excellent episode on the Danish and Greenlandic perspective of Trump’s imperialist ambitions. Great points about Greenlander’s ambitions to be an independent country.

I also didn’t realize Greenland is more of a country in a Federation, like Scotland in the UK, than a territory in a country, like Nunavut in Canada.

I wonder if Greenland would apply for EU membership once they achieved full sovereignty?

I wonder if it would be the beginning of a push to join with Nunavut and Nunavik (northern Québec) and create a true Arctic country for all Inuit?

Wouldn’t it be something if all this nonsensical bluster from Trump ended up *strengthening* the sovereignty of the nations in the crosshairs?

In the end, I still think Putin put him up to all this, and if it did cause Canada, Denmark, Greenland and Panama to become *more* forcefully sovereign and the USA eventually turfed Trump for being a global a-hole, then it would have backfired just like when Finland and Sweden joined NATO after Putin invaded Ukraine.

#Arnapkapfaaluk is a sea goddess of the Canadian #Inuit. Though control of sea animals is a trait she shares with Sedna, Arnapkapfaaluk is not the beneficent goddess that Sedna is. Instead, she inspires fear in hunters and withholds prey. Breaking taboos will lead to an unsuccessful hunt.

In #Inuit #mythology, someone extinguishes Siqiniq's qulliq lamp and lies with her in the dark. She puts soot on her face so when the visitor comes again he gets soot on himself. When she sees her brother Aningaat with soot on his face, a chase ensues that ascends to the heavens where they become the sun & moon.

I include dreams in a lot of my stories. Some of those stories have gone on to win awards. And yet every now and then, an editor will tell me something along the lines of "add a dream and lose a reader."

Where does this literary proscriptivism come from? Some of my favourite stories have dream sequences.

I suspect it's some colonial bullshit, because dreams have power in a lot of cultures.

I don't plan on avoiding dreams in my writing. My dreams have always been important to me, and I remember dreams I had all the way back from when I was a small child. I was a lucid dreamer for years and used to study for my exams in my sleep. I found it very helpful. I wish I could still direct my dreams even halfway as well now.

So what are your thoughts on dreams in literature? Yay or nay? And why?

Edit: the labeling of dreams as meaningless does have colonial roots. Check out this paper on colonialism and Inuit dream sharing. inuitoralityconference.com/art

'More than 1,000 of the dogs that Inuit relied on for their livelihoods were shot to death by Mounties, employees of the Hudson's Bay Company and other authorities during the mid-1950s and late 1960s across Nunavik, the Inuit region of northern Quebec.'
