New blog post is up: Defenders of the Forest — a film five years in the making about Indigenous resistance to colonial logging in so-called Quebec. From frontline blockades to cross-continental solidarity, this project is rooted in collaboration and urgency.

We’re in the final stretch and need your support to finish post-production. Read more and subscribe to our newsletter here:

The #BeaverWars (#Mohawk: Tsianì kayonkwere), also known as the Iroquois Wars or the French and Iroquois Wars (French: Guerres franco-iroquoises), were a series of conflicts fought intermittently during the 17th century in North America throughout the Saint Lawrence River valley in Canada and the Gre

Welcome back, all! We’re going to keep it simple at 1001 Other Albums headquarters for the next few months, with a summer-long spotlight series on albums in The List that are self-titled. Such albums are typically debuts aka gateways into discography deep dives so, rather than attempting to do any sort of comprehensive write-up, I’m going to (try to) keep it brief, point out some cool shit about each album (incl. band origins, tasting notes, standout tracks, and where they are now), and let you dig further if said cool shit strikes your fancy.

As we’ll be doing this in alphabetical fashion, first up in our Self-Titled Summer is number 1014 on The List, submitted by myself. This is the debut from the band now known as The Halluci Nation, and a great way to get into their unique sound: powwow-step or electric powwow, a brilliant mix of dubstep, electro, dancehall, reggae, First Nations music, and hip hop.

Are you in Maine or Vermont? The band will be playing Portland ME today (June 6) and Burlington tomorrow (June 7)!

Happy listening!

Today in Labor History May 20, 1776: The Mohawks, under the leadership Joseph Brandt (Thayendanegea), defeated the American Revolutionaries at the Battle of the Cedars (on the St. Lawrence River). A day earlier, Benedict Arnold, commanding the American military garrison at Montreal, surrendered to a combined force of British and Indigenous troops. Brant was born into the Wolf Clan of the matrilineal society, where power was divided between male chiefs and clan mothers, with decisions made by consensus between them. Much of this history is portrayed in the novel Manituana, by Wu Ming (2007), an Italian writing collective formerly associated with the Luther Blissett Project.

A serious question for all shaving geeks out there.

I have a mohawk haircut with shaved head from both sides. I want to buy an electric shaver for easier shaving process (was using 1mm hair clippers till now). The main problem is that I want to do the shaving myself. I have visited several barbers for the job, but was disappointed and lost my trust in them to do the shaving in straight and precise lines. How difficult can it be?? I found later they managed to shave into my precious mohawk! Doh.

Anyway, is there an electric shaver that can shave ONLY the short hairs, but not long ones? That I can just press my mohawk with one hand to the side and shave the short hairs and do not worry that long hair is shaved too?

Also, rotary shaver vs straight foil shaver?

During the Oka Crisis from July to September 1990, a #Mohawk warrior clashes with Canadian troops after land was approved for a golf course, nearly costing a 14-year-old Mohawk teen his life.
Over a golf course.
This is the real #Canada that is now asking to lead the West.

This is absolutely fascinating, and deeply moving: donations from First Nations to Ireland during the Great Famine extended well beyond those well-known acts of generosity from the Choctaw and Cherokee Nations - from many Nations across both the so-called US & Canada.
