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!

#Kahnawake casino owners sue #Mohawk council and its grand chief for $220 million

« They say the council ignored their right to due process when it abruptly shut down the Magic Palace casino in March 2024.

The closure followed a 2023 news report that alleged the RCMP were investigating an Albanian investor they suspected of using the casino to launder money for a Mexican cartel. »

Global News · Kahnawake casino owners sue Mohawk council, grand chief for $220 millionBy The Canadian Press

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.

@elw00t Your #Mohawk reminds me of mine when I had hair decades ago--way before Mohawks were cool. I used to go to the beauty school at my university in Colorado. They LOVED to play! My Mohawk was #Fuschia and #Teal. Once, they cut my hair in a layered series of triangles like the hackles of a #Rooster and colored each one with aniline dyes. It was a lot of fun. But rednecks in Texas did not find personal expression appealing. youtu.be/uAE6Il6OTcs?feature=s

🚀 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Clifton & I Are Making a Film – A Red Road to the West Bank 🎬

Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas and I have been friends for a long time. We’ve worked on films together before, but this is the first time that we’re truly co-directing a project—both of us taking the wheel. And it all started with a conversation about a much bigger film we want to make.

For a while now, Clifton and I have been talking about a documentary with the working title You Live on Stolen Land, exploring our shared experiences with colonialism—as a Kanien’kehá:ka from Kanehsatà:ke and as a Boricua from occupied Borikén. But in one of those conversations, Clifton casually dropped that he had all this footage from his trip to the West Bank in 2016. I was like, dude, what the fuck are we doing? We HAVE to do something with that footage.

So we started digging in, watching the tapes, talking through ideas, and what emerged was a powerful story—one that draws connections between the struggles of Indigenous peoples in Turtle Island and the Palestinian experience under the colonial state of Israel. Obviously, the histories and conditions are different—the colonization of the Americas started centuries ago and is in a different phase—but the core reality remains: colonization is ongoing.

That’s the main point we’re trying to make with this film.

And we don’t want to just make a film—we want to build relationships. We want to bring people from Palestine to visit Turtle Island, we want to do more interviews, we want to expand this story. But to do that, we need resources.

One of the biggest lessons I learned from working on Yintah was that if you want a film to reach a lot of people, you need to invest in the early stages. The development materials, the research, the pitch decks, the editing—all of it matters when knocking on doors to secure funding for a truly high-quality film. With Yintah, that process helped us get wide distribution, and I know we can do the same here.

So today, Clifton and I are launching our fundraising campaign to kickstart this project. This is just the first step, but it’s a crucial one.
