AFN Name Changes, Again


This doesn't change what they are or what they've done - to Aboriginals, disenfranchising tens of thousands.

AFN might consider their racial purity laws.

Along the Route


A long walk.  There are lots of excuses for them.  Follow the migrations.  To the coast and find reliable food.  Weather. 
The young AFNs who went on a walk, perhaps to learn what they are, found they needed permissions from AFN colonies to pass, but explained it was really trading routes and trap lines.  Sounds familiar as the crowns grant more lands to their AFN.

Real Indigenous consultations must occur.  It is too obvious we're fooling ourselves.

AFN Threats of Violence, Again



Including self harm like the AFN -  INM threats.  Violence and self harm.  Hardly exempliary.  Protecting the children.

Land claims and grants do harm to majority Aborginals by barring them from land that is, at least, equally theirs. Even other AFN Aboriginals are barred.

So, AFN can claim, seek grants and, apparently, do violence - as the other colonists who came before them. This doesn't change Indigenous lands.  AFN 'reconciliation' is a fantasy for the few.  The majority still waits.

AFN and AFN- INM Treaties with Parties and Their People

Maybe all we need to know is 'these people' need to work, but can't because they are uneducated and living unhealthy lives.  'Those people' are, after all, a product of migrations like the AFN.  Wait, that all sounds bad. Why? Migrations or were Indigenous people always damned by the great spirit...

Stiil here as the world struggles with their own revelations.  What we always knew.

Ancient Canada?

Indigenous Canadians have'nt changed in tens of thousands of years.  We're still here. Still the same.  Migration after migration.  Successful colonies and migrations have called themselves First Nations, First governments, First civility, First culture, First great spirits and on.

The article proposes a newer 'arctic' theory, but, back to the year First Nations was formed, the genetic signature of Indigenous Canadians has been known.  It is called Haplo group X.  Immigrations usually are identified to about 3000 and, as we begin, again, defining what Indigenous means, migrations are being pushed to 15,000, like recent Indigenous discoveries.  That facts won't change and we should not attempt to make Aboriginals something they're not even though compliance with familiar methods of settlement make this tempting.  Indigenous losses have increased alarmingly in the last ten years, but nothing has changed.  It is, now, just First Nations, as opposed to first or Indigenous peoples, making claims. This is a familiar pattern and method for settlement and seizing.....

Few Aboriginals Impacted

The report looks at work and income from provincial and AFN claimed territory, while touching on federal original programs that are, now, being fragmented by Canada's common age and, soon, possibly, to also include gender discrimination agendas.  Territorial and provincial based programs are bound to failure as majority Aboriginals have already been disenfranchised by the AFN as undesireables tossed to federal programs and, often, prison systems.  The benefits and monies go to a few, concentrated families many of whom do not meet basic definitions of Indigenous.

We need strong, individual based monies and other benefits programs that bypass AFN territoriality and provincial claims.  Indigenous Canadians lived and travelled throughout Canada.  There were no colonies that did not fail.

So, how has the AFN helped Indigenous People?

They don't. So, what happened to the money? Won't. We do know AFN has barred 100,000s of Indigenous people from their lands and waters, even those Aboriginals that meet AFN racial purity laws.

The provinces aren't obligated to share with the AFN, but with all Indigenous people and this can be done fairly and efficeintly through the federal government individual direct benefit. Problem? AFN and provincial greed.

High Risk List:

Bad Seed

AFN banded Aboriginals are not allowed to participate and use lands claimed by other AFNs they have not been asigned. Each AFN assignment is for life and the following generations. In addition, AFN racial purity laws must be complied with. So, even if an Aboriginal is free from the AFN - they are barred from it. This job service forces applicants to be 100% AFN compliant. There are many Aboriginal communites outside AFN claims with many AFN disenfranchised and free Aboriginals. This job service bars them.

Perhaps a federal system first and regional second, but the service has failed to recognize Indigenous rights - all over Canada; with jobs instead of lands and waters.

It is fundamental and basic change to those under forced AFN governenance. Every Aboriginal under AFN must be notified and allowed to vote, especially the disenfranchised. Band lists going back to 1985 have to be audited for compliance.

Imagen Presidential term limits voided. 'Heridatory' chiefs treated as colonial Kings and Queens. The Senate abolished because of no term limits.

The NDP is rewarding those in AFN powers for treatying with AFN - INM faction. The liberals will agree, as long as they control provincial purse strings with unelected Premiers and their organs. Political parties, like the AFN, excusing themselves with Parliamentary governance.

Indigenous Canadian Participation Bypassed

Since resources are integral, Indigenous participation shouls be allowed, but, as we see with fishing resources, Indigenous Canadians have been completely discounted and relegated to greedy and unwilling Provinces. Federal programs are being handed down to Privinces as Indigenous Canadian federal programs are discounted or ceased. Opportunities lost that can only be reconciled by audits and financial compensations directly to each Aboriginal, bypassing third parties, which are corrupt and abusive like the AFN.

Aboriginal Consultations Bypassed

Federal funds to a Province who won't pay federal resource taxes or allow Aboriginal participation. These regional resource issues and federal participation provide a unique opportunity to acknowledge Indigenous Canadian resource rights. Like the oil, this can only be reconciled by an audit backing out investment claims due, partially, to lack of Indigenous Canadian participation.

The claim is on the wording the reporter has in Indigenous rights. It is obvious to most that Indigenous people lived all over North America and ranged the entire continent. Colonies are results of migrations and that thinking is a manifestation of the occurrence, like 'the great spirit.'

AFN has Instituted Racial Purity in Canadian Schools

with the help of the crown land granting provinces. Canadian children, some very young, are asked to 'self identify' as Aboriginals by provincial employees, teachers. This results, usually, in the childrens' rejection by the provinces and AFN as not meeting AFN racial purity standards, which the AFN and provinces continue to modify depending on political winds of special interests.

In school, as recent as last year, I have heard a teacher accuse an Aboriginal of being white and the AFN counselor on campus accuse, through the student, parents of not being pure enough to be Aboriginal. The AFN 'self indentifying' program in Canada is another vehicle to Aboriginal disenfranchisement ruined lives. AFN should renounce this school program.

This should be no surprise after failed attempts at absolute minimal accountability Canada required of the AFN, and failed. There are other considerations, like, for example, the dealing with indigenous Fijians, but the PMO is really beginning to wonder about responsibilities and the world and UN should follow suit, immediately, and investigate the AFN instead of everything but; the facts are obvious and before all.

Indigenous Law Bans?

AFN bans Aboriginals from their lands and waters. Beyond this, no such law exists. We asked for a UN investigation into the AFN for Aboriginal abuse. Since AFN has taken crown land and waters territorial grants from the province, they should pay provincial taxes like any other municipality. The reliance is created by the AFN.

Taxes and Majority Aboriginals

The timeline explains cowns taxes and how Aboriginals lost relying on the crowns to benefit Aboriginals from the top down. Recently, this has been evidenced by provincial crowns deals and management by the corrupt AFN. This should remind of Aboriginal education in the past as greedy provinces assert control with AFN of Aboriginal education funding and government jobs.

Aboriginals cannot enforce crowns taxes when provinces refuse to pay federal, for example resource, taxes. Top down can't work if the top isn't collecting, regardless of excuses in balancing for excuses that go back to Canadian confederation as AFN does so; municipalities, as the AFN has, are asserting more direct control, claiming the same top down arguement the crowns higher up in the tax structure have for years. Like the AFN, this reduces direct benefits to individuals by region and number of qualifying members as the municipalities take more of the direct benefits for services, like welfare, they claim for funding and employing government service providers.

Majority Aboriginals need federal direct benefits without third parties like the corrupt, abusive and disenfranchising AFN. This works because, in the past, before the AFN and provinces middlemen took the direct benefits away from individuals, the system was surviveable. It is no longer as we see Aboriginals spiral back into squallored lives with the minority AFN corrupting most benefits. Open data or open government requests of the AFN by crowns is not due diligence. Direct, federal benefits to individual Aboriginals is a need now, not a luxury for the crowns.

Local 'Communities'

AFN and Provincial greed, lands and waters grants to the AFN, interpretation of Indigenous special rights by AFN and Provinces reflecting itself globally affecting many Indigenous persons.

Indigenous rights have always been federal, including lands and waters, and is evidenced by Canadian history before the AFN minority chose to claim all Aborginals and divided Aboriginal rights by Province and 'communities' and Aboriginal disenfranchisement attrition.

All Aboriginals have equal rights, federally, regardless of where they live. There is no difference between the Aboriginal communites in Toronto or a small reserve in the North or the coasts. It was common to live in vast areas utilizing resources as needed and dictated by the environment.

Aboriginals have always had a federal manfate, regardless of AFN and Provincial greed. It makes more sense to handle Aboriginal issues cutting out middlepersons like the AFN, Provinces and NDP, especially resource issues where majority Aboriginals are disenfranchised by the middlepersons. Greed and quiet agreement to disenfranchise - more cash for us. Federal mandates and AFN and Provincial greed excused in territoriality. Lands and seas were always used by Indigenious persons, regardless of recent colonial crown land gants and Avoriginal barring by the AFN.

Federal, direct, cash compensations to majority Aboriginals are necessary and this will also serve to streamline business, although 'communities' will continue to trend for cash from their 'back yards.' AFN is the Aboriginal minoriy, so towns, cities and families will continue to lay claims.

We demand the elimination of the AFN as any type of administrator to Aboriginals. Aboriginal abuse, corruption and Aboriginal disenfranchisement.

Forced Aboriginal Self Identification In Schools

The usual answer is your not and AFN will refuse you based on AFN racial purity laws. It's more of a identify children as not AFN Aboriginal and not subject to special Indigenous rights. The last ten years has also seen the ending of AFN Aboriginal disenfranchisement that AFN planned to reduce Aboriginal populations on the lands AFN claims.

Notice the article says AFN and non AFN, not Indigenous. Many AFN are, in fact, not Indigenous to North America, but the result of recent migrations and successful colonization. Aleto is referring to this when he mentions diversity and inclusiveness.

Education Payments

The AFN signed that money over to the NDP with the AFN - INM treaty. NDP has claimed the government money and jobs and will claim they helped. NDP prefers Provincial government employees and, in education, funds. AFN territorial claims fit nicely into the AFN and NDP planning. NDP already has the education money.

Territoriality and Aboriginal Rights

AFN doesn't have special rights, Aboriginals do; so the land the AFN claims is not theirs, but all Aboriginals. AFN's policy of barring Aboriginals from their land is no different than crown land grants to colonists by the Queen.

AFN Treatying with Federal Government Regionalized by Province

Not new, as, BC especially, has moved to work with the AFN with federal approval an end product formality. BC, in this case, seems to be a more formality as AFN asserts Aboriginals' federal mandate - the new treatying push leaning more on federal than the AFN- INM faction ending of the AFN Provincial, especially land grants, push.

The MOU cited appears to be more environmental than land and water grants, which makes sense considering AFN's recent Provincial push and AFN traditional dealings with the federal govenment - environmental claims leading to land and water claims.

No MOU available in the article. Does the MOU bar Aboriginals, especially AFN life banded Aboriginals, from any lands and waters, AFN - Provincial dealings would indicate a yes, but, hopefully, the federal govetnment was able to limit this.

The problem isn't unilateral legislation. The problem is the minority AFN taking unilateral action for Aboriginals it claims to represent, but has disenfranchised and abused the majority they claim administration to ~

AFN Disengranchised Aboriginals: Microfinance!

The Congress seems to be more of an AFN catchment for Aboriginals AFN has abused and disenfranchised than help for the new 'status' Aboriginals approved by the federal government. Microfinance is a value judgement in that it is referred to as a 'hand up,' not the implied 'handout.' This, combined with stigmatizing Aboriginals as 'off the reserve,' regardless of the new status Aboriginals, seems to make microfinance the final resting place for AFN disenfranchised Aboriginals. Regardless of the 'help' being offered, Aboriginals need to assert their rights federally at the PMO.

Having 20 years experience in microfinance, its not much of an increase in standard of living, but might be more than welfare, something the AFN tried to cut along with the Provinces, disenfranchising more Aboriginals. Once again, a value judgement of the 'undesireable,' poor who, they believe, are chronic.

Assert your rights at the PMO.

No Aboriginal Consultation - Federal Taxes

Probably the worst Province for no condultation with majority Aboriginals. One major reason we demand a Canadian resource use audit for majority Aboriginals, dans development costs. In addition, Aboriginals were compensated federally, their reasoning being federal taxes are collected and used for this purpose. If Canada isn't collecting the federal tax, Aboriginal compensation can't be accurate. Like AFN recent Provincial deal making, the goals are to erode federal responsibility and limit compensation by territory snd number as thr AFN has ended its Aboriginal disenfranchisement campaign.

Lands and Waters

Hard to seperate, as the AFN has done. The concept of a few persons, claiming to represent many, living in a recent colony and claiming more crown land grants is ridicuous, especially when AFN bars majority Aboriginals. Even the life banded.

There should be Less AFN participation, not more

Considering AFN uses civil society laws to disenfranchise Aboriginals AFN is probably not who should be judging. AFN is the reason many Aboriginals go to jail and law is a disenfranchising AFN tool. Familar?

AFN Forced Negitiations

The negotiations are based on AFN territorialty claims and land grants by the provincial crowns to AFN. Most majority Aboriginals have been conpletely didenfranchised by the AFN and have not been consulted. The federal crown would like to say it practiced due diligence, having asked AFN for transparency. Everyone knows the game. History calls for audits from band lists since inception, resource adsessment and use and many other items. It is difficult for AFN to escape Aboriginal abuse and the federal crown its resonsibility.

UN Review Special Interest

The review seemed compromised to special interest groups and gender, specifically, has been a foreign policy sub agenda and funding source for the last 15 years in foreign aid, especially from the US. All this aside, Canada did respond to this special interest lobby with a committee that, apparently, secrets its meetings and affects - suffering from a lack of openess. Apparently, the AFN and its assertive control over Aboriginals appears to have no consideration, making finding actual causes impossible.

The concern should include all Aboriginals and AFN's disenfranchisement of them and the consequences of this process. For example, AFN's use of civil society, law enforcement, radicalization and violence.

The trend of AFN and provincial land grants seems to have slowed as the AFN now champions treaties. AFN - INM was another Aboriginal damaging AFN faction that was used as a 'grass roots' generator co opted to special interests, not addressing majority Aboriginals and Canadians.

Values

Opting out isn't an option, even for Aboriginals who have special rights. Aside from what appears to be punitive religous applications of civil society, its laws, like not wearing a mask; gender can also be used for civil society measures in, for example, community colleges. In Ontario, as a practicing example, female only classes at George Brown College bar males and any person identifying as a female in any way without all female physical traits. It may not be the practical application of civil society and its laws, but a punitive act based in them. The mask may be removed, but application may require special exception once it is; see timeline on this issue.

It may be necessary, especially since the political parties (e.g. NDP) signed the AFN - INM treaty, for the AFN and Aboriginals to 'opt out.' Education, especially post secondary and bridging programs, make Aboriginals vulnerable when this is not necessary.

Aboriginals not Consulted

Like the 'values' issue, this seems to be gender issue special interests compromising religious freedom for an anti religous sub serving agenda. 'Special status,' like Indigenous persons in Canada and at the UN, continue to be on these 'gender' special interests agenda. NDP usary pursuit of the minority, agreeing AFN government monies, government jobs and programs, is a good example of the fluid Quebec 'values' issues.

It would be adviseable to acknowledge Aboriginals unique, historical and special status' before declaration which the CSO CRITIQ appears to be doing.....

BC Business School Sued

Imdigenous Peoples

Telling your story.

I think the 'museum' is missing the story of Indigenous peoples by framing Aboriginals in references they prefer, like art and dances, clothing and looks. These are mostly surface representations that provided a preferred frame of reference. Science seems to be missing, excused by few artifacts and nomadic life. Hard science and what Indigenous people are is becoming more available for detailed learning in the ancestors themselves in, for example, genetic artifacts. The museum, in keeping with prferred learning and study of Indigenous peoples, has completely passed on hard science of Indigenous ancestors. This services the AFN and special interests rather than true, hard science and pure sources like Indigenous ancestors.

Most stories are of relatively recent migrations and successful colonizations seizing Indigenous ancestors and their history. Indigenous people might point to an ancestor - a lake, an ocean, a mountain or a salmon and tell you - that is my ancestor.

AFN Bars Aboriginals from their Land and Resources

Even AFN banded for life Aboriginals are not permitted on other AFN lands and provincial crown land grants. Provinces will tell you no affiliation outside the province is allowed. Most of these crown grants to AFN are 'recent' migrations, like, for example, BC, where Indigenous peoples are recorded on the west coast, like California, about 15,000 years ago - long before 'successful colonization.' Ancestors should be submitted for third party study as the elders are sometimes unrelated to the AFN provincial crown lands and waters grants. Unfortunately, AFN seizes the ancestors and non professional or no study at all is done. The truth is taken.

Majority Aboriginal Demand Consultations and Compensation

The AFN is a fast and cheap pay off. Majority Aboriginals have been disenfranchised by the AFN and, over the last years, by the provinces and AFN - INM NDP/Liberal treaty.

The PMO must minister to majority Aboriginals. Asking for AFN transparency is not enough as asking what happened to tens of thousands of SFN banded Aboriginals and Aboriginals ehos rights are becoming ackowledge immediately. AFN territoriality makes no sense to Indigenous persons.

PMO should acknowledge and begin federal ministering immediately.

Quebec 'Values Charter' Excludes Aboriginals

and their special status and rights, but requires a gender status value while barring religous values. This seems punitive and exclusive. Majority Aboriginals demand addressing as the Canadian govènment has; recent AFN dealings with provinces require compliance by AFN and Provincial civil societies and laws.

I'm supposed to say an appointment would be a mistake. Maybe a committee and some secret meetings with unknown and unaccountable affects?

NDP are fascist with desire to control all government funding and jobs. AFN is their happy hunting ground. Provincial crowns are vehicles.

Majority Aboriginals have been excluded by the AFN and AFN (eg barring resources by reserve assignment) laws to Aboriginal lands. Majority Aboriginals are pushed aside by AFN an a less costly, fewer beneficiary (eg Aboriginal disenfranchidement by AFN) payoff is decided.

MultiCulturalism

Violence We Renounce

Not everyone does, like AFN, NDP,etc. ...because they endorse and use violence and threats of violence.

Most violence starts in the home, so, if you claim victimization, society is just going to wonder about potential violence the person may exercise on it - like suicides threatening others or domestics threatening others. Society doesn't exist to therapy.

There has been a lot of this in the news and we can only say what we've said before. No.

NGO/CSO s Find Volunteer Opportunities Through Networks

Our guess is this is the same network that organizations like Peace Brigades and Makers find 'protection' work through community colleges,like George Brown overseas student placers and course work; including seminars, and provincial employee networks,possibly connected at the premiere level. We think this because of experiences with these networks and radicalization. In addition, there were 'consultants' hired by the AFN - INM faction. We're back with provinces affecting Aboriginal lives, most recently with provincial- AFN land and business grants.

Analysis and opinions aside, we'd wonder about the qualifications of the volunteer workers. Are they trained in any mental health disciplines? Are they certified by any medical community? Do they hold degrees and licenses to practice? Are they just psychology students or licensed psychiatrists? If they are being provided these volunteer worker placements to learn and report; where is the benefit to the community? Do they have enhanced background checks for working with vulnerable persons? What do they hope to learn from the AFN? Do they agree with AFN racial purity laws and disenfranchisement? Do we get to read their learning objectives and academic reports? Do they ascribe to special interest lobbies?

Experience dictates this is more a usary arrangement than an effort to help. The questions above are basics of international placements and we'd recommend a complete volunteer worker profile, like, for example; resumes, criminal background checks from their home countries, formal placing and learning agreements, memorandums of understanding for the placing agency and the AFN, volunteer worker expectations, description of service and work, scope of work, managerial heirarchy and authorities, recommendations for volunteer workers and placers, housing and hosting agreements, payment agreements, return to home country travel guarantees,funding agreements and sustainabilty,funder agreements,letters of intent and plans for work. These, once again, are basics of international volunteer placements.

Overseas teaching English sounds familiar.

Being familiar with this work and no transparent information being offered; we would place this on hold until, at least, the above fundamentals are created and published by the two parties and, possibly, the province - even if the role is just 'consultancy.'

This should be considered a professional warning.
