Honouring Indigenous Aid

[@DjWellDressedMan]

Don't forget that First Nations domesticated the Potato, that allowed the Irish to live on a better level of nutrition relative to the rest of Europe at the time. And when Corn was introduced to Africa, famine at the time was eradicated. First Nations domesticated 60% of the World's food. Read: '1491' by Charles Mann "With further donations from the Saugeen, Ojibwa of Lake Huron, and Moravian Ojibwa, the total Indigenous gift to the [Irish Famine] relief fund was £165, or $17,978 in today's Canadian currency. Some of these contributions came from Indigenous communities in Quebec." CBC news And my First Nations are stilled treated like 'Savages" after all the good we have done.

Don’t you think that Ireland should be more actively supporting the indigenous in Canada in their efforts for truth and reconciliation? I think they deserve our support and commitment to working with them in solidarity to get the land back! Truth told! and resources needed in their communities. As articulated by Professor Mark McGowan the indigenous have been lied to and all agreements broken by the British regards their land rights etc! Perhaps a read of one of the greatest Irishmen ever James Connolly is needed! Labour in Irish History! To clarify the machinations of the British Capitalist system. Thank god the French Revolution enlightened many of Irelands greats to fight the evil dehumanizing system of the British. I’m an Irishman living in Canada and I’ve learned a good part of the history here thanks to Lynn Gehl and the course Algonquin 101, 201 and my own research education! Anti Racism work etc. Support the Indigenous!!! Light the fire in your soul/hearts that the 16 lives series of men had who died for you to have your dignity and freedoms! The indigenous need dignity and freedom too! Our Liberation should be everyone’s Liberation!!
