Today I came in from gardening to do my Sunday Song Radio show and still had dirt on my hands. 

An apt image for what I attempt to speak about this week in terms of my complicity in being part of the story of colonization.  How in light of the precious 215 children showing us more of the truth about Canada's history of genocide (which is ongoing).  

This week, without failing to hold accountable the people responsible for these specific heinous crimes, I point out the difference between the average person who is religiously Catholic, and how in fact, if we are settler immigrants, tied to any institution, land title, or inheritance, we are politically Catholic because of the doctrine of discovery. 

I also attempt to consider even deeper, the idea of how Jesus was standing in indigenous sovereignty when he performed his food miracles (if not ALL of his miracles).  To support indigenous sovereignty and to decolonize (unharness) our creative power, is a very Christic thing to do.   I saw that colonizer Jesus/historical Jesus meme floating around... and am definitely inclined toward the historical one, but I'm also complicit with the colonizer one.
