"Decolonize Everything"

“When the last tree is cut, the last river poisoned, and the last fish caught… then you will realize money cannot be eaten.”

Up until 1941 in Canada Indians required a pass from a (white) Indian Agent to leave the reserve. This was enforced by the North West Mounted Police.

This is where the phrase "going off the reservation" comes from. From pass systems that restricted the movement of certain ethnic groups. (aka segregation)

A reserve is not a city slum, it's more like a tiny country. Some are extremely remote.

Fernwood Publishing has curated a collection of FREE online books:

In solidarity with the people of Palestine resisting occupation and fighting for liberation and their right to self-determination, we share this curated collection of titles available to read for free on their product pages. These works shine light on the realities of displacement, refugeehood, surveillance and imprisonment by the hands of foreign occupying forces and how we may best stand together against colonial complicity and advocate for a free Palestine.

The collection currently includes the following:

"Driving in Palestine" by Rehab Nazzal

"Advocating for Palestine in Canada: Histories, Movements, Action"

"Siegebreakers" by Justin Podur

"Bombardier Abroad: Patterns of Dispossession" by David P. Thomas
