Rebekah: “In following the protocols of the Haudenosaunee, it should be noted that I speak only about my own experience and for myself as an individual. I do not speak for members of the Haudenosaunee or Anishnaabek Nations. In places where I feel I have misspoken during the interview, I have endeavoured to correct myself through the notations provided.”
We have included Rebekah’s notes below.
Thohahente Kim Weaver
Thohahente Kim Weaver was born in St. Catharines, Ontario in 1948. In his life he has travelled both as a Settler in the Settler world and as Onkwehon:we, the path he walks today. A Mohawk from the Turtle Clan of Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, his name Thohahente means, “His path is to the forefront,” indicating a man who sees his path and is walking it.
Thohahente has spent the past six years fighting racism in mainstream media by directly confronting editors, publishers and organizations through letter writing and email campaigns. These campaigns seek to educate those in the media by demonstrating how poor reporting and reporting from a strictly Colonist perspective foster and propagate anti-Indigenous bias and even hatred. The last two years have been spent documenting and cataloguing racist commentary on the web presence of mainstream media corporations.
