"Healing isn't an easy, linear process. Healing hurts. Healing takes time. As indigenous peoples, we're born into communities still reeling from the wake of genocide -- the loss of loved ones to death or substance abuse, the suppression of ceremony and language, the brutal marginalization of our existence. Our bodies and minds are drenched in a wave of generation grief that must be recognized and reconciled. But it's a hard journey to start." indigezine: healing : Issue 2 [printed text] / Braudie Blais-Billie, Editor . - [S.l.] : Self-published, [s.d.].

Introducing Atrocities Against Indigenous Canadians For Dummies: MMIWG / Jenna Rose Sands

Public ISBD Title : Introducing Atrocities Against Indigenous Canadians For Dummies: MMIWG : Issue 2 Material Type: printed text Authors: Jenna Rose Sands, Author Publisher: Self-published ISBN (or other code): IND SAN XXX2 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Activism and Community Organizing Colonialism, Imperialism & World Politics Decolonization Gendered Violence and Survivors Indigenous Peoples and First Peoples Indigenous Studies Intergenerational Trauma MMIWG2S Sexual Assault, violence and healing Social Movements White Supremacy Zines Abstract: Issue #2 of this zine series introduces folks to the current national crisis of thousands of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. That this crisis has been allowed to continue for so long is baffling. This zine is 22 pages long, in full colour and is full of my love and heartbreak. This zine took it out of me, both zines have as the research element for both involves hours or reading and listening to heartbreaking experiences and accounts. I often found myself crying on my couch while listening and reading that I had to do something positive while listening so I started making muffins while listening to podcasts and the truth gathering media so my family ate a lot of muffins for a few weeks there. I had initially struggled with how to do justice for so many women and girls within 20ish pages, this is the hard part of the zine project, condensing immense amounts of information into a small format that people can pick up on the fly and learn a lot within a quick 20 minute read. I decided to focus on statistics and questions of WHY/HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? WHY/HOW DO PEOPLE NOT KNOW MORE? This issue focuses on a few points, one being statistics regarding violence against Indigenous women as well as how these stats have been ignored for years. Also discussed is the Highway of Tears, flawed law enforcement procedures and data gathering and whether Reconciliation is really possible if issues such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls is still actively being botched. Included in the zine is a collaborative piece between magical wonders Sākihitowin Awāsis, a Two-Spirit spoken word artist and Dawn Redskye, an Anishinaabe-Irish artist and & musician.

Introducing Atrocities Against Indigenous Canadians For Dummies: Residential Schools / Jenna Rose Sands

Public ISBD Title : Introducing Atrocities Against Indigenous Canadians For Dummies: Residential Schools : Issue 1 Material Type: printed text Authors: Jenna Rose Sands, Author Publisher: Self-published ISBN (or other code): IND SAN XXX1 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Colonialism, Imperialism & World Politics Decolonization Indigenous Peoples and First Peoples Indigenous Studies Intergenerational Trauma Social Movements White Supremacy Zines Abstract: The first zine in this series discusses the awful practice of the Canadian government with help from various churches, to steal Indigenous children away from their families in order for the "Indian" to be removed from them at industrial schools across the country. Many Canadians feel this is ancient history but this zine lays the foundation for every rebuttal to people who think we should all be over it by now. With the current Ontario government rolling back all and any curriculum that could actually help students be empathetic, loving, informed and understanding individuals, talking about Indigenous history feels all the more important. If the government wishes to continue a practice of ignoring history (and current problems, let's be honest) then we need to get ragey and educate others, right? This zine is 20 colour pages and stands 5.5"x 10.5" and to be honest, it's a difficult read at times as the lived experiences of survivors are heartbreaking but essential to hear. The pages are filled with experiences, facts, discussion questions and musings of how did this happen?! The zine concludes with questioning what is really needed for Reconciliation and is it even possible with the current initiatives?
