Kwe kwe, She:kon, Hello! Kisikew is a homophone for Gisigu (Mi'kmaq), which means "Old Man". This eGroup is for news, commentary, and discussion about Indigenous issues in North America (Canada, USA, Mexico) from different perspectives. Peoples of all Indigenous Nations of Turtle Island (North America), including outlanders and Urban NDNs, are welcome to post here. Your first post will be moderated so that we can weed out spam-bots. Don't come here to promote your commerce or business, we're not interested and may consider it spam. About us: We are Non-Status, not enrolled, not represented by AFN/CAP, and we don't wannabe! We're not "Indians", "Indians" are from "India". We're not "aboriginals", we are Original people, L'nu'k, Onkwehonweh, our mothers originated on this continent. We're not "Savages", our civilisations pre-date those of Europe. We are Indigenous, we are Indigenes! Wela'lin, Nia:wen, Thank you
