Truth Spoken, Progress Delayed: Reflections on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada

Geschrieben am . Veröffentlicht in English.

Ten years ago, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada issued a historic report exposing the devastating colonial legacy of the Indian Residential School System. The Commission’s ‘94 Calls to Action’ promised healing, but a decade later, how much of that promise has been fulfilled? Have political promises been translated into progress, or faded into silence? How will the newly elected government and Prime Minister Mark Carney continue—or fail—to move forward on reconciliation? To mark the report’s tenth anniversary, this article reflects on the Commission's work, progress, and remaining challenges.

Time for True Stories: Stereotypes Absolve Gendered Violence against Indigenous in Canada

Geschrieben am . Veröffentlicht in English, Feministische Friedensforschung.

Across North America, May 5 is a day to commemorate the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit, and gender diverse people. Beyond giving space for remembrance and mourning, May 5 is connected to the aims of building knowledge, raising public awareness, stimulating solidarity and underlining the need for action to end the disproportionate deadly violence. While politics and the judicial system are reminded on this day to deliver rights and justice, another important factor for change should also gain attention: the collective imagery of the Indigenous needs to be decolonized to transform the systemic structures of violence.

In Brasilien und Kolumbien waren die beiden Wissenschaftlerinnen Kaya de Wolff und Verena Lasso Mena auf Feldforschung. Worum genau es in ihrer Forschung zu sozialen Medien und Umweltaktivismus geht, wie es ihnen in ihrer Rolle ergangen ist und was „Research in Solidarity“ bedeutet, erzählen sie Tina Cramer in der neusten Folge von PRIF talk.

Alle drei arbeiten im April 2022 gegründeten hessischen Forschungszentrum „Transformations of Political Violence“ (TraCe), das von PRIF koordiniert wird. Gefördert vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) erforschen dort Wissenschaftler*innen Transformationen politischer Gewalt aus verschiedenen Perspektiven.

Kaya de Wolff ist Postdoktorandin und wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt und bei TraCe. Erinnerungen an politische Gewalt aus medien- und kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Perspektive, insbesondere in Brasilien, sind ihr aktueller Forschungsschwerpunkt.

Verena Lasso Mena ist Doktorandin und wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Technischen Universität Darmstadt und bei TraCe. Im Zentrum ihrer Forschung steht politische Gewalt im Zusammenhang mit Umwelt- und Klimakonflikten rund um den Abbau natürlicher Ressourcen, insbesondere in Kolumbien.

A Step Towards Justice: Canada Agrees to Compensate First Nations for Loss of Culture and Language

Geschrieben am . Veröffentlicht in English.

Ten years after the Gottfriedson case class action lawsuit was filed to claim for compensation over the destruction of language and culture caused by the Canadian Indian Residential School system (IRSS), an agreement was made public in January 2023: Canada’s federal government is prepared to pay a settlement sum of $2.8 billion into a new trust fund which shall enable 325 First Nations to invest into cultural and language revitalization. The agreement is just one step on the journey to building trustful relationships between Canadian Aboriginals and the settler-colonial state, but it is an important one, overdue and urgently needed.

Indigenous Peoples’ experiences: Some observations about the new political era in Latin America

Geschrieben am . Veröffentlicht in English, Glokale Verflechtungen.

In the last five years, Latin America has entered a new political era with indigenous peoples at the center of these changes. The new governments in the region are promoting revisionist policies regarding past state violence and implementing new policies of indigenous dispossession. However, the observable trend denying indigenous peoples their basic rights, and their participation on issues affecting them, is not only an issue of minority politics, it also draws broader fundamental civil rights and liberties into question.

A punto de escalar: grupos indígenas se movilizan en contra del gobierno en Colombia

Geschrieben am . Veröffentlicht in Español.

Desde el 10 de Marzo de 2019, grupos indígenas en el suroccidente Colombiano protestan. La actual radicalización de la Minga, demuestra no solamente la negligencia del gobierno y los temores de seguridad, sino que representa también un síntoma de los reclamos entre los grupos marginalizados: La Minga se convirtió rápidamente en un extenso movimiento con vías bloqueadas, en especial la vía Panamericana, con más de 20.000 personas involucradas y confrontaciones violentas con las fuerzas de seguridad nacional en los bloqueos. Esta movilización social en el medio de un conflicto violento con grupos armados está a punto de escalar violentamente, pero también ofrece una ventana de posibilidad para hacer presión al gobierno frente a nuevas reformas.

On the brink of escalation: indigenous groups mobilize against the government in Colombia

Geschrieben am . Veröffentlicht in English.

Since March 2019, indigenous people in the South-Western part of Colombia mobilize. Systematic neglect by the government and security fears have contributed to widespread grievances among marginalized groups in the country, explaining the radicalization of the Minga in the last weeks: It quickly became a broad movement with road blocks at the crucial Panamericana road with more than 20.000 people involved and violent confrontations with security forces. Given the specific setting with social mobilization in the midst of an ongoing conflict with armed groups, the Minga is on the brink of violent escalation. But it also offers a window of opportunity to pressure the government to further reforms.

How the Chilean government deals with the Mapuche conflict

Geschrieben am . Veröffentlicht in English.

The 14th of November 2018, the Chilean police shot the 24-year-old Mapuche activist Camilo Catrillanca in the municipality of Ercilla in the south of Chile. This incident received international media attention, but it is only one chapter in a long-lasting dispute over territory and autonomy between the indigenous Mapuche community and the Chilean state. Mapuche communities in Chile are demanding the restitution of territories, which were taken from their ancestors by the state. In order to defend and recover their land, some Mapuche organizations use arson attacks and land occupations. The Chilean government is responding with special operations units to ’control’ the conflict.
