Red Papers
Yellowhead Red Papers are comprehensive research and media projects that aim to follow a tradition of agenda-making reports by Indigenous people, like the 1970 original, that contributes to important conversations within and outside our communities.
The project of land back is about reclaiming Indigenous jurisdiction: breathing life into rights and responsibilities. This Red Paper is about how Canada dispossesses Indigenous peoples from the land, and in turn, the models of land restitution and concepts of consent that communities are offering as alternatives to dispossession.
Cash Back is about the value of Indigenous lands. Picking up from Land Back, the first Red Paper by Yellowhead about the project of land reclamation, this report looks at how the dispossession of Indigenous lands created a dependency on the state due to the loss of economic livelihood. Cash Back is about restitution from the perspective of stolen wealth.
