Mindanao steps up conversations on MINING JUSTICE

4 months ago 

Canada’s state and corporate wealth is largely based on subsidies gained from the theft of Indigenous lands and resources. Conquest in Canada was designed to ensure forced displacement of Indigenous peoples from their territories, the destruction of autonomy and self-determination in Indigenous self-governance and the assimilation of Indigenous peoples’ cultures and traditions. Given the devastating cultural, spiritual, economic, linguistic and political impacts of colonialism on Indigenous people in Canada, any serious attempt by non-natives at allying with Indigenous struggles must entail solidarity in the fight against colonization.

    A new book to add to our library! Thanks to ascottyfollower for posting. ascottyfollower: Excited to see a new book out by the Ateneo Press (honestly giving me a reason to drop by): “Manobo Dreams in Arakan: A People’s Struggle to Keep their Homeland” by Karl M. Gaspar, CSsR This book provides a comprehensive historical account of the struggles of the Manobo in Arakan Valley to keep their ancestral lands, and in the process assert their cultural identity across centuries of colonial rule and integration into the national political system. It describes their many experiences of resistance and accommodation, of creative adaptation, to external pressures and opportunities. Historians, anthropologists, and their students of Philippine society and culture will surely benefit from the many theoretical insights of the author about how indigenous groups like Manobo can increasingly become an integral part of the national and global community while maintaining their own social spaces and cultural contexts. — Carolyn I.
