Hi Mastodon 👋 #introduction I'm Gilburri Fahy, a Kabi man from south-east Queensland. I speak for myself, not for Elders or any council. I make the podcast Sovereign Kabi Truth-Telling, write the Blackfella/Jewfella ebook and a Kabi man's reading of the Irwin books, and release music. 🎧 https://open.spotify.com/show/4bZvAj1jAO1kRqTZeJb7JQ #FirstNations #Kabi #TruthTelling

#FirstNations #Australia 800 years prior to British colonization in 1788, the Indigenous Gunaikurnai people maintained stable, open eucalypt woodlands across southeastern Australia using frequent, low-temperature “cool” burning analyzed sediment cores from Purghagoolah in the East Gippsland region of southeastern Australia & found tree cover averaged roughly 10% under Indigenous stewardship. High-temperature crown fires and severe soil erosion were virtually nonexistent

A millennium of evidence reveals colonial roots of Australia's wildfire vulnerability

A 1,000-year ecological reconstruction reveals that Australia’s ongoing wildfire crisis stems from the colonial disruption of Indigenous fire management rather than climate change alone, according to a study published in Nature. For more than 800 years prior to British colonization in 1788, the Indigenous Gunaikurnai people maintained stable, open eucalypt woodlands across southeastern Australia using […]

#FirstNations #Yukon #canada Members of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation have witnessed many changes unfold across the far reaches of their traditional territory in northern Yukon. Tundra grasslands are being replaced by shrubs. Permafrost is thawing at an accelerated rate. Lakes are draining more than in the past. River and lake shorelines are eroding more quickly. And fires are burning within and beyond the boreal treeline https://brocku.ca/brock-news/2026/08/20-years-of-research-shows-how-climate-change-has-vastly-impacted-canadas-north/ #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate

#FirstNations That’s according to a new report from Land Is Life that highlights the global success of Indigenous climate adaptation and resilience amid escalating crises. The report also says supporting Indigenous governance through legal recognition, financing, and partnerships — none of which are occurring on a large scale — is the best way to reduce climate disaster risk worldwide https://grist.org/global-indigenous-affairs-desk/as-climate-disasters-multiply-indigenous-governance-offers-a-way-forward/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #pollution #ecology #environment

As climate disasters multiply, Indigenous governance offers a way forward

Indigenous peoples are confronting mounting threats even as inadequate funding and scant legal recognition limit their ability to respond.

@Tode@indieweb.social @CatherineBabault@mastodon.social this is unbelievable ... I listened to more and I got down to the 'songs' section. The 1st song is a Catholic hymn and the 2nd is a children's song she made to help us memorize the syllabic chart. It's our children's ABC song for Syllabics. Eh-Ee-Oo-Ah - ᐁ ᐃ ᐅ ᐊ Peh-Pee-Poh-Pah - ᐯ ᐱ ᐳ ᐸ Teh-Tee-Toh-Tah - ᑌ ᑎ ᑐ ᑕ Keh-Kee-Koh-Kah - ᑫ ᑭ ᑯ ᑲ there's more to it but that is the first part Lol ... I haven't heard that song in years!!!! #indigenous #firstnations

Pow Wow Is A Sacred Gathering

This past month, I was happy to attend two Pow Wows I hadn't been to in years. I attended the Mattagami First Nation Pow Wow and the Matachewan First Nation Pow Wow. These are two special communities I have had the good fortune to be involved in for over 30 years. I stopped attending public events eight years ago when my partner Mike was diagnosed with a debilitating disease. We could not afford for him to get sick with a common cold which meant that I also could not catch anything for fear of p

Joe Pye weed (Eutrochium maculatum) But who is Joe Pye? It seems to be the anglophone name of a very interesting Mohican, Joseph Shauquethqueat, living at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, in Massachusetts and New York. Not clear he had anything to do with the plant, maybe only by association. A scholarly article about botany, history and First Nations, with Latin names and a critical eye. Perfect 🤓 https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/p/pod/dod-idx/joe-pye-joe-pyes-law-and-joe-pye-weed-the-history.pdf?c=mbot;idno=0497763.0056.303;format=pdf #flowers #bloomscrolling #nativeplants #wildflowers #botany #history #firstnations #photography
