Uphold Hereditary Sovereign Rights of Indigenous Peoples!

The Indigenous Peoples are the stewards and protectors of Turtle Island and holders of hereditary sovereign rights. These rights cannot be over-ridden by what are called partnership agreements which maintain that "the Crown" has the final say in matters of concern. The Indigenous Peoples have never relinquished their sovereign rights. They are hereditary. They cannot be given, taken away or forfeited in any way no matter what deals are struck. Governments in Canada are obligated to engage with them on a nation-to-nation basis.

The Indigenous Peoples continue to bravely defend themselves and Mother Earth from the indignities of neo-colonial pillage and ruin. They and their allies demand a full stop to the practices which use the power of the state and force to expropriate them. They demand reparations for the damages they have suffered. A modern Canadian economy can only thrive within this overall recognition and perspective.

On Earth Day 2026 let everyone demand that governments enter into new arrangements that honour the Indigenous Peoples' sovereign rights to their ancestral lands.
