We are proud to announce that our mural in collaboration with @calgarymlc in the East Village has been completed! This is a very special project that brought together Metis-Cree Canadian artist @bb.iskwew with the incredible American based Xicana artist @lamorena_art , who made her Canadian debut with BUMP!

La Morena and bb iskwew chose to collaborate on a mural that celebrates the power of life givers. This is a north meets south collaboration honoring matriarchy and womanhood. This mural is located on Treaty 7 territory, and to celebrate the beauty and power of matriarchs from Treaty 7 nations they included a portrait of Alanna Bluebird, who is a Tsuut’ina (Dene) and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) woman. This mural is located close to Mohkinstsis, where the Elbow River meets the Bow River, a place where Blackfoot peoples would traditionally gather and pick medicines along the Bow River. Their mural honors the matriarchal connection to the land in this specific area as well as across all turtle island

This is just the first of the murals BUMP will be painting all summer, be sure to stay tuned to our socials to learn more about upcoming projects!

In one of the largest returns of land to an indige

In one of the largest returns of land to an indigenous nation by a state, more than 1000 acres of ancestral lands were returned to the Onondaga Nation.

The land transfer has its roots in the cleanup of Onondaga Lake, overseen by a superfund lawsuit by Honeywell, the company responsible for the pollution. Onondaga Nation will convey the title and full ownership of Honeywell’s former land to restore and steward the land, located in present-day Central New York’s Tully Valley.

“It was a sacred lake, it had an incredibly abundant fish supply,” explained Onondaga Nation attorney Joe Heath. “They have lost all of that, the cultural connection to the lake, the fishing. That’s part of the loss that’s supposed to be compensated in these natural resource damage assessment projects.”

Basil Seggos, Commissioner of New York State Department of Environmental Conservation hopes this helps heal the divisive relationship between the state and Indigenous nations.

Onondaga Nation Chief Tadodaho Sidney Hill explained, “It is with great joy that the Onondaga Nation welcomes the return of the first substantial acreage of its ancestral homelands. The Nation can now renew its stewardship obligations to restore these lands and waters and to preserve them for the future generations yet to come.”

“The Nation hopes this cooperative, government-to-government effort will be another step in healing themselves and all others who live in this region, which has been the homeland of the Onondaga Nation since the dawn of time.”

Health explained that this is part of the #LandBack movement which seeks to heal and reclaims land for indigenous peoples. “When we are looking at historical trauma for Indigenous people, land is the only reparation.”

The future of Indigenous families and tribal sover

The future of Indigenous families and tribal sovereignty is at stake.

The United States Supreme Court is set to hear Brackeen v. Haaland, a case brought by the states of Texas, Louisiana, and Indiana, and individual plaintiffs, seeking to declare the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), unconstitutional. The ruling could have far-reaching implications on tribal sovereignty.

ICWA is meant to correct the injustices of the long history of the removal of Indigenous children from their families, communities, and nations. Before ICWA was passed in 1978, an estimated 25-35% of Indigenous children were removed from their families. Removal has had long lasting effects on communities, cultures, and languages.

Protect Indigenous children. Support Indigenous sovereignty.
