Amazing progress on our student housing project in Red Rock! Trusses are up, and we’re ready to start the roof shingles. Proud to see our Indigenous youth building a home for Ginoogamaing First Nation and gaining invaluable skills along the way! @SGDSBoard @MatawaFNM #housing

This cover, by the legendary Kent Monkman, says so much. All of my book covers hold meaning. This one, is a perfect companion to the inside pages. The Knowing is a book about the matriarchal line of my family, a book about finding our lost relations. If every First Nations, Métis and Inuit family told their story, we would rewrite the truth about Canada. All my relations. @HarperCollinsCa On sale Aug 27. harpercollins.com/products/t…
