#9 BLS- Leadership Interference

Above, a community member presents the Three-Figure Wampum Belt. According to Algonquin custom, contemporary relations with the federal and provincial governments are based on the historic agreements recorded by Wampum, recognizing the Algonquin Nation and stipulating their involvement in any questions regarding their traditional territory. Repeated interventions by Indian Affairs to replace or manipulate the Algonquins' customary government, say elders, violate the mutual recognition contained in the agreement.

As media monopoly extends, and doctrinal rigidity in what remains becomes ever more intense, it would be a major contribution for the functioning of a free society to have independent news sources, free from corporate or state control, internally organized in ways that exemplify what a truly participatory and democratic society would be. I was therefore delighted to learn of the Dominion Paper project, an ambitious and impressive effort to fulfill this urgent need. I know of nothing like it, and wish it the greatest success, for the benefit of all of us.

About the Dominion

The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
