CALL TO ACTION from ARTHUR MANUEL

I've attached the call to action here. But I wanted to highlight a particular distinction the call makes between Indigenous demands and what government policy pushes:

COLLECTIVE LAND BASE: Our peoples collectively made decisions and cared for the land, it is inalienable. We have the right to control our territories.

versus

FEE SIMPLE: If a group signs a treaty, the “treaty lands” are returned as fee simple lands—held like settler property that can be seized, forfeited and sold to settlers.
