Please join Baffinland in wishing all Nunavummiut a Happy #NunavutDay. Today, July 9th, we celebrate unique Inuit culture, and revisit great moments in the territory’s history. We commemorate the creation of the territory, as well as the signing of the Nunavut Act and the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. Festive events will be held across the territory, including at Mary River and Milne Inlet, to showcase traditional Inuit knowledge, art and customs, and to foster pride in Nunavut’s achievements, while promoting Indigenous rights and reconciliation. Nunavut Day is also an opportunity to educate other Canadians about the vital contributions of the Inuit people to Canada, and to embrace the territory’s official motto, ‘Nunavut, Our Strength.’ Baffinland joins all Nunavummiut in celebrating their rich culture, history, and deep love of the land. ᐃᓚᓕᐅᑎᒋᑦ ᐹᕙᓐᓛᓐᑯᑦ ᖁᕕᐊᓱᖁᔨᑎᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥᐅᓕᒫᓂᒃ ᓄᓇᕘᑉ ᐅᓪᓗᖓᓂ. ᐅᓪᓗᒥ, ᔪᓚᐃ 9, ᖁᕕᐊᓲᑎᖃᕐᓂᐊᖅᑐᒍᑦ ᐊᔾᔨᐅᖏᑦᑐᓂᒃ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᐱᖅᑯᓯᖏᓐᓂᒃ, ᐃᖅᑲᐅᒪᑎᓪᓗᑕ ᐊᓕᐊᓇᐃᑦᑐᓂᒃ ᖁᕕᐊᓇᑦᑎᐊᖅᑐᓂᒃ ᓄᓇᕘᑉ ᐊᑐᖅᓯᒪᔭᕕᓂᖏᓐᓂᒃ. ᐃᖅᑲᐅᒪᑦᑎᐊᖅᑕᕗᑦ ᓴᖅᑭᑕᐅᓚᐅᖅᑎᓪᓗᒍ ᓄᓇᕗᑦ, ᐊᒻᒪᓗᑦᑕᐅᖅ ᐊᑎᓕᐅᖅᑕᐅᓂᖓ ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥ ᐱᖁᔭᑦ ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥ ᓄᓇᑖᕈᑏᓪᓗ ᐊᖏᕈᑎᑦ. ᖃᓄᐃᓕᐅᕈᑏᑦ ᖁᕕᐊᓲᑎᖃᕐᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᓄᓇᕗᓗᒃᑖᒥ ᐊᑐᖅᑕᐅᓂᐊᖅᑐᑦ, ᐱᖃᓯᐅᑎᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᓄᓘᔮᖕᓂ ᕿᙳᐊᓂᓗ, ᓴᖅᑭᔮᖅᑎᑦᑎᓗᑎᒃ ᐱᖅᑯᓯᕐᓂᒃ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᖃᐅᔨᒪᔭᖏᓐᓂᒃ, ᓴᓇᙳᐊᒐᕐᓂᒃ ᐊᒻᒪ ᐃᓕᖅᑯᓯᕐᓂᒃ, ᖁᕕᐊᓲᑎᖃᕐᓗᑎᒡᓗ ᓄᓇᕘᑉ ᐊᓂᒍᖅᓯᒪᔭᖏᓐᓂᒃ, ᐱᔪᒥᓴᐃᓯᓐᓈᕐᓗᑎᒃ ᓄᓇᖃᖅᑳᖅᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᐱᔪᓐᓇᐅᑎᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᐋᕿᒋᐊᕈᑎᖃᕐᓂᖏᓐᓂᓪᓗ. ᓄᓇᕘᑉ ᐅᓪᓗᖓ ᐱᕕᒃᓴᐅᕆᔭᐅᖕᒥᔪᖅ ᐃᓕᓐᓂᐊᖅᑎᑦᑎᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᑲᓇᑕᒥᐅᓂᒃ ᐃᑲᔫᑎᖃᖅᓯᒪᓪᓚᕆᖕᓂᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᑲᓇᑕᒥ, ᖁᕕᐊᒋᓗᒍᓗ ᓄᓇᕘᑉ ᐅᖃᐅᓯᖅᑕᖓ, “ᓄᓇᕗᑦ, ᓴᙱᓂᕗᑦ.” ᐹᕙᓐᓛᓐᑯᑦ ᐃᓚᐅᓂᐊᖅᑐᑦ ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥᐅᓕᒫᑦ ᖁᕕᐊᓲᑎᖃᖅᑎᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᐱᖅᑯᓯᑦᑎᐊᕙᖕᒥᒃ, ᐊᑐᖅᓯᒪᓂᑯᓂᒃ, ᐊᒻᒪ ᐱᐅᒃᓴᓪᓚᕆᖕᓂᒃᒧᑦ ᓄᓇᒥᒃ.

As an Indigenous woman in Canada, one who worries and prays for our youth on the daily, I often find myself envying newcomer families. NOT because of some stereotype or out of complaint for the money they may or may not receive, but for a totally different reason entirely - their core.

Today, we celebrate #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay by recognizing and honouring the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of #FirstNations, #Inuit, and #Métis peoples across Canada. National Indigenous Peoples Day is an opportunity for all Canadians to learn about the diverse heritage of Indigenous communities and to reflect on the vital role they play in shaping our collective identity. It is also a time to acknowledge the resilience and strength of Indigenous peoples in the face of historical and ongoing challenges. The impact of colonization has led to massive systemic issues that continue to harm Indigenous communities, including disparities in health, education, and economic opportunity. Addressing these injustices requires a commitment to reconciliation and concerted efforts to create lasting change. We must continue to listen and learn. On this National Indigenous Peoples Day, we recommit to working towards reconciliation with a spirit of humility, respect, and collaboration. https://lnkd.in/edP4fJeG

“Call us by our name.” There are approximately 476 million Indigenous Peoples in the world living across 90 countries. They speak 40% of the world’s estimated 7,000 languages and represent over 5,000 different cultures. Indigenous Peoples have retained social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Indigenous Peoples from around the world share common problems related to the protection of their rights, one of them is the preservation of their culture and languages. Indigenous languages, traditions and cultural practices aren’t taught in schools, moreover some Indigenous communities, such as the Rohingya are still being displaced, targeted and dehumanised. So, what can you do to preserve Indigenous cultures? Our Ambassador Noor has three tips for you: - cook our food, and talk to people about it to raise awareness about our culture and traditions - call us by our name: for example, learn about the misinformation campaigns against the Rohingya and other Indigenous communities to ensure you are addressing the people and their culture correctly - support organisations, such as Noor’s, to preserve cultures and rehabilitate displaced people Learn from our Ambassador Noor Azizah, founder of the Rohingya Maìyafuìnor Collaborative Network, a refugee and women-led organisation working towards preserving and rehabilitating the Rohingya people. https://bit.ly/4cjjyHF #OneYoungWorld #OYWAmbassador #InternationalDayoftheWorldsIndigenousPeoples

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day!🎊🎉 🌍 Why Land and Territory Acknowledgements Matter 🌍 Land and Territory acknowledgements are important because: 1. Recognizing Indigenous Presence: They honour the fact that Indigenous people have lived on and cared for these lands for thousands of years. 2. Showing Respect and Supporting Reconciliation: They are a way to show respect for Indigenous histories and cultures and are an important step towards reconciliation. 3. Educating Ourselves: They help educate everyone about the history of the land and the Indigenous people who have been its stewards. 4. Addressing the Past: They remind us of the impacts of colonization and the importance of supporting Indigenous rights today. 5. Building Stronger Relationships: By acknowledging the land, stronger and more respectful relationships with Indigenous communities can be built. Understanding and participating in land acknowledgements is a small but significant way to show respect and support for Indigenous communities. Let’s take a moment to recognize the land we stand on and the rich histories of its Indigenous caretakers. Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, let’s celebrate the vibrant cultures, unique traditions, and invaluable contributions of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people of Canada.

As July 1st quckly approaches and all of the festivities begin for Canada Day, it's crucial to reflect on what this day represents, especially from the perspective of Indigenous communities. For many Indigenous people, July 1st brings a complex mix of emotions—honoring resilience, acknowledging ongoing challenges, and advocating for reconciliation. Canada Day marks more than just a national holiday; it symbolizes a history of colonization and its impact on Indigenous lands, cultures, and identities. It's a day to recognize the diverse Indigenous nations that have stewarded these lands since time immemorial. This year, let's use Canada Day as an opportunity for meaningful reflection and action. Let's amplify Indigenous voices, support Indigenous-led initiatives, and commit to the ongoing journey of reconciliation. Together, we can build a Canada where Indigenous rights, cultures, and contributions are fully recognized and respected. #CanadaDay #IndigenousPerspectives #Reconciliation #RespectIndigenousRights

I would like to have more people creating content like Lana Kristine Jelenjev. After I finish my workshop of Golem in R, probably would start going more into this direction. Lana THANKS for bringing such deep and spectacular reflections into LinkedIn. My post today regarding AI is exactly about THINK - Hands-UP THIS is the right kind of thinking.

OUR COLLECTIVE HARVEST What is the borderless world we aspire for? This is what Rochita Loenen-Ruiz inspired us to reflect on for today’s LIMBO session. LIMBO is a creative research collaboration between queer refugee community organizers/ artists, Framer Framed and Refugee Academy. During these sessions we engage in conversations about creativity, queerness, refugees, experiences within LIMBO or similar engagements with Dutch institutions, and life in the Netherlands. As the space holder and co-facilitator of these sessions, I find it so nourishing, inspiring, and uplifting the sharing and wisdom of the circle. Here is our collective harvest: Starting very small Occupying little space Minimal And then… Evolving To what I am lacking Feeling the safety in my body Approaching it from a place of joy Parking the future From 2024 to 3024 Nobody to think about us Putting things into perspective Thinking of the borderless world Taking the step When the sun comes up With light The moon appears Shows darkness The shadows The hardness Asking ourselves “do we stay?” Or continue? This world cannot be complete Without me The rainbow appears The sun, the moon All that is life The symbols And words Ancient and modern All are earth All in our Kapwa Our shared humanity Coming together Free Liberated Happy Peace Resilient In love This world will never end It will continue Amplifying the field It is perfect It is complete We did it together Let’s celebrate The empty pages Are there for us to fill With the first mark That connects to our joy That connects to our deepest pains To connect to what the soul wants to say And give us hope For the world we want to see one day #SpaceHolding #SaferAndBraveSpaces #BorderlessWorld To know more about LIMBO, check this out https://lnkd.in/eHmvjSjZ

💁🏾♀️What is considered respectful when referring to Indigenous peoples? It's important to remember that terms like Australia and Aboriginal are colonial, not Indigenous. 🗣️In other words, they are names that have been given by colonisers and not the names that First Nations people have traditionally used to refer to themselves. ❤️Generally, Indigenous people prefer to use their own names, like Bardi, Gadigal or Bundjalung, and to speak their own language but it is accepted that Australia is now an English-speaking country and so, if colonial terms must be used, most prefer Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, Indigenous Australians, First Peoples, First Nations or First Australians. 📍Note the use of capital letters and remember, not all Indigenous people feel the same way or have the same preferences. 👂🏾Listen to the language used by the people you are with and, if you are ever unsure, just ask! #AskAunty #CulturalProtocols #CulturalAwareness #DiversityEquityInclusion #PracticalReconciliation

Did you know? In March 2024, the Supreme Court of B.C. recognized the Nuchatlaht’s title to a part of their traditional territory. Despite initial setbacks, this decision has marked a significant step toward full recognition of Nuchatlaht (a Nuu-chah-nulth Nation) land rights by B.C. and Canada. As we celebrate Indigenous History Month, it's important to acknowledge and recognize the places where we live and work. This week we are highlighting the traditional territory of the Nuu-chah-nulth Nations that span the west coast of the Vancouver Island. The Nuu-chah-nulth people are traditionally known as nuučaan̓uɫ which translates to "along the mountains and sea". As of 2021, there are more than 9,000 Nuu-chah-nulth people from fourteen First Nations living on the island. These include: Ahousaht, Ditidaht, Ehattesaht/Chinehkint, Hesquiaht, Hupacasath, Huu-ay- aht, Kyuquot/Checklesaht, Mowachaht /Muchalaht, Nuchatlaht, Tla-o-qui-aht, Toquaht, Tseshaht, Uchucklesaht and Ucluelet Nations. To learn more about the Nuu-chah-nulth Nations, we invite you to also watch this film below: https://lnkd.in/desivqmv #IndigenousHistoryMonth #BC #humanrights4bc
