Wasase Movement and Anarcha-indigenism

Thanks to a friend, I have recently come across the Wasase Movement.

From the Wasase website: "Wasáse is an intellectual and political movement whose ideology is rooted in sacred wisdom. It is motivated and guided by indigenous spiritual and ethical teachings, and dedicated to the transformation of indigenous people in the midst of the severe decline of our nations and the crises threatening our existence. It exists to enable indigenous people to live authentic, free and healthy lives in our homelands.

"Wasáse promotes the learning and respecting of every aspect of our indigenous heritage, working together to govern ourselves using indigenous knowledge, and unifying to fight for our freedom and the return of our lands. It seeks to liberate indigenous people from euroamerican thoughts, laws and systems."

If you're interested in finding out more about Wasase, you can visit the website here.

You may also be interested in an article that ran recently in the Globe and Mail on anarcha-indigenism written by Daniel Morley Johnson, a PhD student in comparative literature at the University of Alberta.

Link to Daniel Johnson's article here.

Some food for thought, yes?
