I realize there is a conversation in the literature about the term “allies.” For instance, see “Accomplices Not Allies: Abolishing the Ally Industrial Complex,” Indigenous Action, May 4, 2014, . http://www.indigenousaction.org/accomplices-not-allies-abolishing-the-ally-industrial-complex/ As I read the discussion, the point is that faux allies or superficial allyship is counterproductive. I agree. However, I do not reject the term “ally” in toto. I do agree that only a sincere effort at allyship by the CCA will benefit the parties.
