Let's skip the window dressing and lip service. Just make the Interior Department/BIA do its job! States have used the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act to extort gaming revenue from Native owned casinos for decades now. The Interior Department is supposed to enforce the regulations that are in place to prevent aggressive states from exploiting Native gaming. These regulations were not enforced during the Obama or Trump administrations. Can we expect anything different from a Biden administration?

Decolonization requires separating ourselves from the circus and learning from their behavior. The Two Row Wampum depicts two paths or two ways of life. It is a symbol of peaceful coexistence, not assimilation and submission.

Tuesday's elections may be the beginning of a long, drawn out and turbulent event. But it's theirs, not ours. We should learn from their behavior and by no means get stuck in the middle of their conflicts over power, policies and politics.

Their elections our also not our solutions. We need to bring our minds together and develop our own solutions for the problems we face. Some Native issues do intersect with their issues but our solutions don't have to.

On October 13, 2020 an angry mob of about 200 people attacked a lobster storage facility, barricading Mi’kmaq fishers inside, pelting the building with rocks, burning one of their vans and destroying their lobster catches. Three days later, that same storage facility was destroyed in a suspicious fire. No arrests have been made. These attacks on Mi’kmaq fishers in Nova Scotia are racist and unacceptable. This is white supremacy asserting its power. White mobs, white cops and white crime. John discusses all of this and more.
