Buffalo Returning

“Not long ago, settlers attempted to kill off the buffalo as a mechanism to steal our land, and they tried to steal our land as a mechanism to colonize our people and assimilate and destroy us– but they couldn’t,” said Nick Tilsen, President and CEO of NDN Collective. “Now, coming full circle, we have reclaimed these lands and we’ve put the tatanka (buffalo) back on the land.”

Francis Pegahmagabow

A Canadian First Nations soldier, Francis Pegahmagabow was the best sniper on either side of World War I. But when he went back home to Canada, he still had no rights.

Meet Francis Pegahmagabow, The Most Decorated Indigenous Soldier In Canadian History

Francis Pegahmagabow crawled through the trenches of France, survived a chlorine gas attack, and kept fighting after a bullet tore through his leg. Raised by an Ojibwa elder after his father died and his mother fled the reserve, Pegahmagabow learned to hunt as a boy.

Emma Stevens

great track and vid from Emma Stevens

“I Want to Rise” was created to help bring awareness to the more than 4000 missing and murdered First Nations women and girls from across Canada and the many thousands more #MMIW in the United States of America, and, as well, to help empower First Nations youth to rise above the many challenges they face being indigenous youth in Canada today.

“I Want to Rise” was created in memory of Cassidy Bernard of We’koqma’q First Nation (Nova Scotia, Canada) who was murdered at the age of 22 in 2018. #justiceforcassidy

Indigenous made short wins awards

The film shines a light on the violence and discrimination many Indigenous women face and the thriller incorporates a mysterious element through the spiritual power of the northern lights.

Logging protests

For over 12 months, activists have set up blockades to prevent the logging of old growth forests in the Fairy Creek watershed on British Columbia’s Vancouver Island. More than 1,100 people have been arrested as part of the largest act of civil disobedience in recent Canadian history.

Canada: win for anti-logging protesters as judge denies firm’s injunction bid

A provincial court in Canada has refused to extend an injunction against protesters demonstrating against old-growth logging, ruling that police conduct has been so troubling that to extend the order would place the court’s own reputation at risk.

Family Affair: Seminole musicians in the spotlight

Sandra Hale Schulman Special to Indian Country Today From the Florida swamplands to the stages of Woodstock and the Hard Rock cafes, the Seminole and Miccosukee nations continue to make their marks on the music world.

Killers of Flower Moon

“Killers of the Flower Moon” is based on David Grann’s best-selling book of the same name. It’s the story of the Osage Reign of Terror and the FBI investigation into the ring of criminals who systematically murdered Osages for their oil wealth in the 1920s.

Filming wraps on the set of ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’

Filming has officially wrapped for “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The presence of background extras in costume, 1920s automobiles and the ever-present film crew wearing N95 face masks are gone. The sightings of the film’s all-star cast will have to wait for the premiere, which is most likely to be in the fall of 2022.
