The genocidal settler-colonial Canadian state is celebrating its 156th official year of colonialism, racism, and capitalism on July 1st, and so we have naturally circled back to our Indigenous readings.
We have decided to read Michif-Cree anarchist Tawinikay’s piece Settlers on the Red Road (2021), which digs into hard questions of Indigenous identity and settlers in anarchist spaces who choose to take it up. Her zine is a critique of both identity, as well as its appropriation.
Settlers on the Red Road is available for free to read on the Anarchist Library. It is also available as an imposed PDF zine (double-side short edge) here.
As always, we are meeting at Camas Books, 2620 Quadra Street, on Lekwungen Territory. The next meeting is Sunday July 9 @ 6:30PM.
