Happy pride as in f*ck Israel! Not gay as in happy, but q***r as in free Palestine. ❤️💚🖤

This Pride, we’re pushing against pinkwashing and sharing an excerpt of Tim McCaskell’s Q***r Progress.

In the wake of Israel's continued assault on Iran this June, the hijacking of the Madleen and the imposed starvation in Gaza, now more than ever, q***r and trans communities must understand our pride as synonymous with our politics.

Congratulations to Katsi’tsakwas Ellen Gabriel and Sean Carleton on their outstanding trio of award wins for When the Pine Needles Fall! 🌲✨

Between the Lines is honoured to celebrate this powerful and groundbreaking book as it received three major awards earlier this June:

🏆 Winner of the Wilson Book Prize (Wilson Institute, McMaster University Faculty of Humanities)
🏆 Joint winner of the Indigenous History Book Prize (Canadian Historical Association / Société historique du Canada)
🏆 Joint winner of the Errol Sharpe Book Prize (Society for Socialist Studies)

When the Pine Needles Fall is the first book from the perspective of Katsi’tsakwas Ellen Gabriel, who served as the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) spokesperson during the 1990 siege. More than a memoir of one extraordinary individual, this book is a call to action, offering reflections on Indigenous resistance, language, land, and the climate crisis.
