These fucking people in Alberta seem to forget that they only live here because of treaties.

My ancestors lived here for many years, and now these white people think they can succeed from Canada, as if they own the land.

And this pizza place owners name is Farouk, he is pandering to white supremacists as an immigrant from Lebanon.

And our government is standing by him, and hosting an event at his shitty pizza place.

I'm seething. What the fuck is happening.

"Why Native Americans Wear Red and March on May 5th "

https://nativenewsonline.net/health/why-native-americans-wear-red-and-march-on-may-5th/

"While many Americans spend May 5 celebrating Cinco de Mayo, a day that commemorates the Mexican army’s unexpected victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, Native Americans and their allies across Indian Country will spend May 5 wearing red shirts to commemorate Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) Awareness Day."
