During rush-hour commute this morning, two Indigenous Canadian women – Eriel Tchekwie Deranger, and Heather Milton-Lightening – scaled flagpoles in front of the main entrance of Royal Bank of Canada’s (RBC’s) headquarters in Toronto, dropping a banner reading “Please Help Us Mrs. Nixon.com” – appealing to the bank to pull its massive investments in Alberta tar sands projects. Supported by RAN, the Ruckus Society, and their Indigenous People’s Power Project, they were joined by dozens of Toronto RAN activists, swarming entrances to ensure every RBC employee heard our appeal Mrs. Janet Nixon, the wife of RBC CEO Gordon Nixon, to lend her strong and influential voice to those fighting to protect Canada’s clean water and respect Indigenous rights by pushing RBC to stop bankrolling the tar sandsDuring rush-hour commute this morning, two Indigenous Canadian women – Eriel... more

The Yukon River, one of the largest rivers in North America, has been the lifeline of the Tribes and First Nations of Alaska's interior and Canada's Yukon Territory for thousands of years. In 2005, Toshiba Corporation offered the Alaska Native village of Galena an experimental nuclear reactor for "free," to be located on the north shore of the Yukon River. In this video, we see and hear reactions of the indigenous peoples of the region to the proposed nuclear reactor.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper will offer a thorough and detailed apology today to the nation's native peoples for abuses and the loss of aboriginal languages and culture they suffered during a century of forced assimilation at residential schools.
The apology has been billed by the government as a chance to redress a dark chapter in Canadian history. But the day before the landmark statement was marked by wrangling over whether native leaders were adequately consulted over the content, and anger that they will not be allowed to respond in the House of Commons.
Some survivors, as the former schoolchildren are widely called, say the apology is coming only grudgingly under intense pressure from native groups, and must be matched by action. But it is widely recognized as a significant step for a government that had previously sought to limit its responsibility for the harm caused by its assimilation policy.
For more than a century, native Canadian children were sent to boarding schools run by churches and the government to adapt them to modern society and to Christianize them. Many suffered sexual and psychological abuse, and their detachment from their families and communities has had effects across generations.
Several churches already offered apologies in the late 1980s and 1990s, and the government's head of Indian affairs made a statement of reconciliation in 1998. A lawsuit settled in 2006 created a $1.9-billion compensation fund, and an independent Truth and Reconciliation Commission was launched on June 1.
But today's statement is the government's first formal expression of responsibility and remorse for the forced assimilation program and its legacy of damage.

American Indian
Veterans Memorial
Mission
On September 4, 1996, the American Indian Veterans Memorial Organization was established, in order to build a memorial dedicated to all American Indian Veterans and to provide a place for all to gather and honor those who have served.
The memorial will remind all of the sacrifices made by American Indians, in all branches of the military services, assure that the dedication and bloodshed of these warriors are not forgotten, and to dedicate a memorial of lasting significance for these veterans.

My people honored me as a warrior. We had a feast and my parents and grandparents thanked everyone who prayed for my safe return. We had a "special" [dance] and I remembered as we circled the drum, I got a feeling of pride. I felt good inside because that's the way the Kiowa people tell you that you've done well.
