So proud of our school! We collected a full pallet of school supplies to send to a Metis community in Buffalo Narrows, Saskatchewan in honour of Orange Shirt Day to support current students, some who are children and grandchildren of residential school victims. @yrdsbinclusion

The defining and distinguishing feature of colonization is genocide. Not settlement. Settlement obfuscates the violence used to clear the land. To keep it clear.
We begin by examining that history so that we can transform those legacies instead of erasing them.

I’ve never seen Chief Adam cry. This is tough to take in. He’s fought 4 so long 4 the rights of his people; against industry, land/water being poisoned by oilsands. Now, the whole community of Fort Chip evacuated by boat & plane because a raging fire is at their back door. He stayed to help save it #ClimateEmergency

All of Canada needs to stop what they are doing, spare a thought for the child whose jawbone was found on the grounds of the Qu’Appelle Indian Residential School in Lebret, Saskatchewan. Bone is about 125 years old, Sask coroner says. Child was btwn 4 to 6 years. @fsinations

October 21-23 I will be speaking with @alexisshotwell at a weekend gathering outside Kingston ON.
What does it mean to be good kin?
What do we do with unwanted kin? Those relatives or community members who claim us but who we may want to disclaim.

The team at #GivingTuesdayCa would like to thank individuals, charities, communities and businesses that took part in our celebration yesterday. It was amazing to see Canadians across the country giving time, money and so much love to help others. You’re an inspiration to us all!

The numbers are IN! We collected 57,817 menstrual products this October, and almost $4000 in donations!
We collect products and monetary donations year-round, and have several permanent donation boxes across the Greater Vancouver Area. Keep updated at truenorthaid.ca/mts-bc/

Rather than providing gifts to our plenary speakers and volunteers at #CADTHSymp, we redirect that funding to a charity.
This year, #HTAGivesBack will support @TrueNorthAid, a charity supporting northern #Indigenous communities in 🇨🇦
