Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance

Kanehsatake 270 Years of Resistance

Alanis Obomsawin, 1993, 119 min 15 s

On a July day in 1990, a confrontation propelled Native issues in Kanehsatake and the village of Oka, Quebec, into the international spotlight. Director Alanis Obomsawin spent 78 nerve-wracking days and nights filming the armed stand-off between the Mohawks, the Quebec police and the Canadian army. This powerful documentary takes you right into the action of an age-old Aboriginal… Continue

New Chat Function, Other News

Just to state the obvious, this network has a new chat function. The previous chat room, which was external to the network, has been closed. Luckily, we now have a solution that appears to be better than all previous attempts.

The settings for this network have now been set to private. Exchanges can longer be freely seen by anyone on the Internet, nor searched and cached by entities like Google. Initially, the openness of the network was to allow others to benefit from the many… Continue

INVITATION TO ADMINISTER THIS NETWORK

It would seem that at least one person is not happy with my work with this network, and issues of "ownership" have been raised. As with the Caribbean Amerindian Centrelink, and Kacike, I have been actively seeking to transfer these resources. The proof of the latter facts is to be found within the Groups in this network by the way, specifically:…

AN AMAZING DAY IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES

Today is am amazing day in the history of the US - Barack Obama will take the oath of office as President in about an hour's time. For those of us, who have lived through the Civil Rights Movement, this is a monumental event and shows that united, working together and never giving up hope for equality and justice, we are seeing a man of color assuming the highest office in this land.

Yesterday, was Martin Luther King Day, and how well I can… Continue

RECOMMENDED CODE OF CONDUCT

Dear Network Members,

as the site administrator it was never my intention to moderate discussions, nor monitor every utterance for any possible inappropriate or offensive statement, as I considered that rude, intrusive, and presumptuous.

At the urging of now more than a few dozen members, I have been asked that at least a rudimentary code of conduct be established. Of greatest concern, that is, the concerns that repeated themselves across what were 37 messages at last… Continue

NO PERSONAL INSULTS IN THIS NETWORK, EVER.

Just a caution, for those who need it;

Any sign of continued personal insults between members will lead to the banning of those persons. There seems to be a marked degeneration in the quality of discussion here, very much in contrast with the cheerful, constructive, and productive experiences that dominated early on.

As the person who initially set up this network, I cannot tolerate seeing it become another hate site for flamers. For those who are new here, show some… Continue

children and racism

The little girl rolled forward on wobbly legs trying not to loose balance before

getting on the rink floor. Once she had her speed up, she knew that she

would be less likely to fall. He older brother raced past and the rush of air

nearly toppled her. Her brother had grace and coordination while she was the

"clumsy" one. "Little miss klutz," as she was playfully known as, had sprained

her ankle 8 times in the first grade. Now, in the 4th grade, she wasn't any

The census is coming!!! What identity will you check off and why???

Lots of opinions of identity have surfaced in different posts about identity, and why you identify yourself as such, often with heated debates and controversy. This is posted to bring up, not a case for controversy, nor adversity, but for healthy discussion. Let's listen and respect ALL opinions and posts. I'd love to hear from ALL!!!

Connections

I've been away for a time and the time has been spent researching and making new discoveries.

New people have been added to my family tree and some old dead ends found their new life within the "new" connections that have been made.

The family connections weave in and out of one another and sometimes go round about the world only to return to thier home in the end.

Our ancestors were all restless people moving to and fro about their world making new discoveries… Continue

What do you need to have to be considered a Taino?

What is a modern taino? which characteristics will make somebody a taino(a)? Any help getting this point clear will be really appreciated.
