    13 January 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    An Indian goes into a law office and says,"since my traditional government never agreed by any treaty to be governed by your government, why does your legal system apply your government’s laws to me on my indigenous nation’s unceded national territory?"

    History has shown that many nations have been involved in violent conflicts because of religious differences, and some are still engaged in such conflicts today. To eliminate this problem in our new nation, we are (…)

    A coalition of Indigenous elders, social justice activists, community activists and organizers are voicing opposition to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.
