And of those pre-confederate treaties that where signed, every single one has been broken by the colonizers, which then nullifies them.

Due to losing two groundbreaking court cases, and continually breaking international law (for whatever that’s worth), the colonizers have been actively engaging in a modern day treaty process that:

many grassroots Natives oppose (…) because it’s 1) a fraudulent process negotiated between government funded and imposed band councils and the provincial and federal governments (meaning these are not treaties between sovereign nations), and 2) it is part of the state’s long term strategy of legal, political and economic assimilation through which bands will no longer be under the Indian Act and reserve lands are transformed to fee simple property which can be bought, sold or leased like any other property, and 3) it is part of the overall “self-government” policy which ends with bands self-managing their own oppression.  ***

Revolutionaries, whether they identify as anarchists or Indigenous militants, are daily in perpetual conflict with the colonial state. We refuse to ever forget the horrors perpetuated by the colonizers or the life that they attempted to erase to build this mechanized existence we find ourselves in. Indigenous rebels have been involved in countless anarchist projects around here, and vise versa.  We live with and fight alongside one another, in autonomous communities and on flaming barricades all across this country. If anything, the odd time we have to deescalate hostilities towards the colonial state, say to go to court or deal with some other theft or oppression, is being “politically expedient”, but never the contrary. There isn’t a moment that goes by where we forget whose land we’re on, the relationships we have, or the histories here. Please feel free to explain otherwise since you felt so willing to make such a heedless comment.

Every inch of this land is stolen and it’s native inhabitants kept to the most undesirable land. (In my home town for the reserve is right next to the septic treatment plant and dump zone, not a nice smelling place in the height of summer.)

I love reading stuff like this.. like, the ruling class is terrified of an uprising right now - imagine how these people would handle an organized revival of the labour movement or a mass movement for a transition to socialism. They’re fully aware that workers are the ones with the power to decide the direction the future takes, and that more and more people are realizing how unfair the system is.
