EPISODE SUMMARY:
People generally believe in thier country. But for Indian country, that belief is tainted by the reality of continuous unkept promises and outright lies by the United States and Canada to its Indigenous citizens. In this episode, we examine various examples of this, including the continued abuse by Canada towards the Wet’suwet’en People over the Coastal Link gas pipeline.
FEATURED MUSIC THIS WEEK IS BY RECORDING ARTIST A TRIBE CALLED RED
TRACK: “LAND BACK” LISTEN TO IT HERE
**The Halluci Nation would like to dedicate this song in support of the Wet’suwet’en nation and to the Indigenous lead movements across Turtle Island and beyond.
We oppose the invasion of sovereign Indigenous lands by the RCMP and the Coastal GasLink pipeline. We stand with the Wet’suwet’en people and their hereditary chiefs. We stand with all the people working to support their fight.
We will be making this song available to download for free and free to be used for anyone working to defend the Wet’suwet’en territories and all action that defend the right of Indigenous land sovereignty and to promote a true nation to nation discussion between the Indigenous nations of Turtle Island and our Canadian settlers. Until our Canadians are willing to treat the Indigenous nations of this land with the respect due, a sovereign people’s reconciliation will remain an empty gesture.
It was the work of our good friend Whess Harman that inspired us to give the song away to the movement. Not only because of their work in the frontlines of resistance in Vancouver, but also because they are using their art for the movement. Whess designed the “Land Back” patch that is featured in our cover art, and has been selling them to raise money for the Unist’ot’en Camp Legal Fund. We will be making a donation to the same fund for our use of Whess’ art. We encourage you to donate to the legal fund as well by following this link:**
