The (largely white) indigenous activism in this country is so fucked

I could go on all day about this complex and multifaceted issue but because brevity is cash:

1. Absolutely cringe-inducing how, instead of using an example of indigenous people developing a cultural or technological solution which may be in any way unexpected or novel, they are just like LOL CANOE

MAN MAKE BOAT, MAN SOLVE COMPLEX PROBLEMS IN GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY

What limo-wristed paternalistic bullshit

2. Saul Alinsky has a section in Rules for Radicals about encountering Canadian indigenous activists and their allies. Even if you hate Alinsky too much to read the rest of the book, please read that one section. I'm sure you'll get a mild kick out of it.
