« Hey – Regardez nous

Nous vous voyons

Nous avons essayé de vous montrer

Vous n’avez jamais pris la peine d’apprendre notre langue

Vous regardiez toujours vers le bas

Nous vous prévenons depuis le début

a terre est vivante

Cette terre ne peut pas être possédé

Cette terre c’est nous

Nous tous

Vous vouliez les pierres

L’Or

Vos choses brillantes

Titres – Drapeaux – Bénéfices

Vous avez appelé ça progrès

Nous avons essayé de vous apprendre

Mais vous avez toujours été si gourmand

Trop primitif – Trop sauvage

pour comprendre

Maintenant vous apportez toujours des malédictions sur les Yanomami

Les maladies

Et encore une fois, nous en mourrons

t toutes les terres indigènes sont transformées en

cendres et boue

Cinq siècles

Vous n’avez jamais levé les yeux…

Flame Of The Forest

A delightful tale of love over time.

Weekend Stories by Trishikh

Deep in the jungles of Ajodhya Hill and Forest Reserve Area in the Purulia district of the state of West Bengal in India, blossomed the sacred Dhak tree or the Butea monosperma. Locally known as the Palash, it was nicknamed Bastard Teak by the Britishers. Much of its ancient forest tracts lying in the historic Doab area, between the rivers Ganga and Yamuna, was cleared by the East India Company for agriculture in the early eighteen hundreds. For its flaming-red beak-shaped Papilionaceous flower, the mystical tree was also called the Flame-Of-The-Forest.

Eighty-year-old Guruchoron Mahapatra along with his orphan teenage granddaughter ‘Palash’ named after the same beautiful tree, lived in a small wooden hut in the middle of a Dhak jungle on the outskirts of the sleepy little village of Baghmundi in the same forest regions of Purulia. Like the Butea tree, the girl’s beauty too was unparalleled, and for that…

Casting an Eye on Self

normabobb

How do we see ourselves? Are we aligned with predatory behaviour? Do we see ourselves as agents of peace and harmony? Do we pay homage to Mother Earth? If we see ourselves as the only entity that matters we are in delusion and as a result we will careen towards our extinction. The Earth is a living entity and it is only through saving the Earth that we will save ourselves.

Mi tinta, al escribir, es el poema que construyo, en las mañanas y en las noches, en las tardes y en las madrugadas, cuando siento deslizar en mi piel las gotas de lluvia y te miro a mi lado, contenta e irrepetible; es la letra, es la palabra, es mi voz silenciosa convertida en signo, en arte, en texto; es mi vida entera que se vierte en las páginas de un cuaderno que he dedicado a ti, a tu nombre con apellidos, a mi amor que es tan tuyo y se transforma en delirio, en flor, en polvo de estrella. Mi tinta, al inspirarme en ti, me convierte en escritor, en artista, y te transforma en ángel, en musa. Mi tinta, al plasmarla en hojas interminables de papel, es el recuento de mi vida, mis anhelos y mis sueños…

Punished and hit for speaking her language, a B.C. residential school survivor is not staying silent | Globalnews.ca

Sphenia-Jones.jpg?quality=85&strip=all A residential school survivor from Haida Gwaii, B.C., is calling for a class-action lawsuit against the Catholic Church to reveal the names of the children who died at the schools. Sphenia Jones went to the Edmonton Residential School where she said she was given a different name, Pauline, and was forced to stop speaking her language. She was 11 years old when she attended the school and was put on a train from British Columbia where she said it stopped multiple times to pick up other children from communities along the route.

“There was a whole bunch of kids in there. They were stopping and picking up a bunch of kids,” she said. “Some of them died on the way and they just threw them off the train.”
