Indigenous Rising

princesscoffeebean:

I don’t want to hear shit about Canada being the greatest country until

• You stop abducting, raping and abusing Aboriginal women
• You stop the sexualization of Aboriginal women’s bodies
• You stop criminalizing Aboriginal men and throwing them in jails because you feel like it
• You stop the hate crimes against Aboriginal people
• You actually start investigating the murders of Aboriginal people instead of waving them off and pretending they never happened
• You stop taking away Aboriginal children and sticking them with uncaring White parents when they have other relatives that have the complete capacity to care for these Aboriginal children
• You stop trying to steal more Aboriginal land and pushing Aboriginal people out of their homes for your own greed
• You stop the desecration and selling out of our sacred items and ceremonies
• You stop the harmful stereotyping of Aboriginal people
• You stop using and defending the usage of offensive mascots and names that are supposed to represent Aboriginal people
• You stop the erasure and/or romanticization of Aboriginal people and history in the classroom
• You stop digging up burial grounds in order to build commercial centers over them
• You stop so much other awful crap that you continue to pull every single day
• You stop boasting about how you’re the greatest country
• You were founded on the genocide of my ancestors
• Are you still proud?
