Accessed 27 July 2023. ]]> 2023-07-22 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429343 m_houad https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429344 I chose the Activist Autumn Peltier of the Ojibway/Odawa Wikwemikong First Nation to include in my mixtape because of her influence on others and her passion to making a change. At only 12 years old, Peltier was not afraid to speak up about the lack of clean water across Canada. She was taught about the importance of water as a child, and her appreciation to water has only grown as she got older. According to the Indigenous culture, water is the giver of life and has an important role of cleansing and purification for humans. When Peltier found out that this clean water wasn't completely accessible across all of Canada, she decided to use her voice to speak up about this issue. She was able to raise awareness across Canada about this issue, even being able to speak directly to the Prime Minister to make change. To Peltier, protecting water is what it means to be Indigenous, and she is proud to be a spokes person on this topic. She explains, “I am from this land. My ancestors are buried here on this land. This land is our land and it’s part of me and part of everything I am and everything I do”. I believe that Peltier is such an inspiring young activist, being so driven and passionate about her native culture. Even at such a young age, she was able to prove that anyone is able to speak up about a topic that inspires them. She has raised awareness to the movement of clean water being a necessity across Canada, sharing her words of wisdom to the public. ]]> 2023-07-22 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429344 m_houad https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429345 2023-07-22 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429345 m_houad https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429346 2023-07-22 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429346 m_houad https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429347 User, Guest. “Photographer of ‘This Is Indian Land’ Uses Images to Drive Forward a Revocation of Colonialism in Canada.” Photographers Without Borders, 9 June 2022, www.photographerswithoutborders.org/online-magazine/photographer-of-this-is-indian-land-uses-images-to-drive-forward-a-revocation-of-canadian-colonialism. ]]> 2023-07-22 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429347 m_houad https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429348 I chose the photo “This is Indian Land” by Stan Williams of the Mohawk and Anishinaabe First Nation to include in my mixtape because of the powerful message it provides, and the awareness of Indigenous issues happening in Canada. Williams took this photo to highlight the front-line struggles and expressions of self-determination in Indigenous communities throughout Turtle Island. In 2019, Canadian police moved in on blockades that were originally protected by the First Nation community living on Turtle Island. This action resulted in violence and police brutality. Rallies and protests were organized throughout several communities on Turtle Island, and this was captured by William’s camera. In this photo, there is a young Indigenous girl standing in front of a large “This Is Indian Land” sign, claiming that she is trying to get her land back. I believe that this photo is so powerful because it educates the public on what is happening in Canada, and how Indigenous people are still being discriminated. The girl in the photo is also filled with so much emotion, giving off a visual of strength and determination. ]]> 2023-07-22 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429348 m_houad https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429349 The following works that I have selected for my mixtape are very influential and educational pieces. It is a great representation on Indigenous communities and people, as well as being able to listen to their stories. I chose the painting “Still Dancing” by Johnathon Labillois because of its representation to lost Indigenous lives and the awareness that it brings to the public. Autumn Peltier, a 12-year-old activist is involved in this mixtape because of her influence on others and her passion to making a change. I also chose the poem “The First Day” by Joseph Dandurand because of his discussion on racism and the negative effects of it. Lastly, I chose the photo “This Is Indian Land” by Stan Williams because of the powerful message that provides to the public. My mixtape allows these Indigenous people to share their stories, as well as demonstrates the beautiful creativity of the Indigenous culture.

In the painting, the artist put together a collage of the missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada. In 2014, violence began to impose on Indigenous women, and the police provided no assistance or acknowledgement to help with this issue. The goal of making this painting was to donate it to the Montreal Native Women’s Shelter to raise awareness of this issue, hoping to educate the public. This is such a beneficial way to raise awareness because it shows the amount of Indigenous women impacted by this issue, as well as spreading information about the dark side of Canada. Labillois hopes that by sharing this painting with the public, it would bring this issue to minds of many people, and hope that none of these murdered Indigenous sisters, mothers, aunts or daughters be forgotten. Overall, this painting provides a strong message by educating the public about Indigenous issues that are still relevant in Canada. ]]> 2023-07-22 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429353 m_houad https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429354 2023-07-22 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429354 m_houad https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429355 2023-07-22 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429355 m_houad https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429356 The First Day. “Joseph Dandurand.” Poetry In Voice, poetryinvoice.ca/read/poets/joseph-dandurand. Accessed 27 July 2023. ]]> 2023-07-22 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429356 m_houad https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429357 I chose the poem “The First Day” by Joseph Dandurand of the Kwantlen First Nation to include in my mixtape because it addresses the topic of racism and the negative effects it has on a person. At the beginning of the poem, Dandurand addresses that he was sent to a catholic school at five years old, in which he ultimately knew he wasn’t going to like. In this school, he was bullied and beat up for the colour of his brown skin by a group of boys; “As we waited to go in that first morning, a group of boys decided they did not like my brown skin” (Dandurand). That line is a representation of the injustice manners that Indigenous people lived with. Dandurand was very young in this moment, and he was already experiencing discrimination due to his native culture and the colour of his skin. He was then told by the Superior Sister to let out all of his anger by punching a wall, and Dandurand followed her instructions. He released out all his built-up anger and punched the wall as hard as he could until there was blood dripping from his knuckles. Dandurand was only five years old, and the amount of hatred and anger that was inside this little boy shows how horrible the effects of racism are. Without doubt, I believe racism is the worst possible issue in our world today. This poem is a perfect example of how damaging racism can be for a person, and even worse for a child in Dandurands case. When a child is opened up this type of hatred towards them, it sticks with them for the rest of their lives. This poem spreads awareness about the negative effects of racism and can hopefully educate the public to better understand the effects your words can have on a person. ]]> 2023-07-22 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/m_houad/3m6ga08r03axgr8v/wish/2649429357
