They have been relentless in their oppressive assaults on our people. If a pound of flesh is what they’re after, our people before their courts have paid more then enough.

I will be appearing before the Ontario Court of Appeal on March 1st. We must defend ourselves again. Fight to prove the worth of our laws, again. The courts and cops stand behind decades of atrocities, aimed at disconnecting our people from our lands.

The decision granting my absolute discharge from all offences concerning Landback Lane has been appealed by the crown. What seemed a win, was short lived and the colonial system designed against us from the start will once again be asked to weigh in on the merits of our stance.

Meaning we will serve no other consequences, aside the 3 years of targeted police violence, arrests and surveillance of course. When we managed to pry even a bit of recognition and understanding from these courts, the system can’t help but claw it back.

The fight drags on. Wins in their courts are few and far between for our people. In October, I along with a handful of my brothers, were granted an absolute discharge.

My heart is in my throat. What’s happening in Winnipeg at the Brady Landfill blockade is so much more than meets the eye. The prospect of people being forcibly removed by police with an injunction; the Native women’s bodies in the dumps; their daughters demanding justice & on the

Huge nyawęh to everyone that continues to support and organize our legal fund and legal teams. Still a few more left to make sure are able to walk free.

These courts keep talking about the “passage of time prevents us from returning these lands to the indigenous community”. Well some time has passed, our people are still here. Our people will live free on our lands for another generation.

As much as I want to celebrate the win, I’m angered at what a broken system it is. One judge granting injunctions and the next saying “you’re free to go”.

3 years of going to court. 20 million dollars spent “policing” Landback lane. All to see myself and several others receive an absolute discharge of all charges related to our actions defending our lands.

BREAKING: Raid happening now at @Gidimten camp, 5 arrests over a sham of a search warrant. This is sovereign territory and @RCMP has no business invading native land and stealing our people from their homelands. cc @yintahaccess

Who the hell invited Doug Ford to Six Nations. And who from Ford’s office thought that sounds like a great way to spend the morning.
