Trying to change Colonizers systems to meet the needs of Indigenous Peoples will never work. Efforts like this are wastes of time and only lead to assimilation. Transformational change for Indigenous Nations will only happen when Indigenous systems are uplifted and rebuilt.

The absolute cruelty of this disgusting gesture perpetrated against grieving families is heartless and beyond the pale. #cdnpoli

Med Twitter: are there any other Indigenous docs with braids? I think I only know of two others in 🇨🇦 There has to be more of us? 🤞🏽
If so, would love to meet you - our young people need to see more braids in medicine ❤️ #BraidsIntoMedicine should be my new campaign 😬

My husband and I got to attend the Hand Game competition in Whitehorse today. It is so important to see what Indigenous joy is, and share it - because we are often only painted as suffering. We are also very joyful, and attending this was exactly what I needed ❤️❤️❤️

Watching WOMEN TALKING, the film allegory of the feminist movement, I was struck at how in the film, as in real life, no women of color were included. The film stated it was a true story in “the female imagination”. Even in the feminist utopia, women of color aren’t considered.

Sending love today to Jewish people for seeing images of Swastikas all week.

Sending love today to Black people for seeing images of Confederate flags all week.

Sending love today to Indigenous people for seeing appropriation and mockery of ceremonies all week. /1

Nohtawiy (my father) attended residential school, as did his parents, & grandparents. This was an act of genocide by the 🇨🇦 govt & run by churches. He lived under the “pass system” where they couldn’t leave the reserve (1895-1951). And our Peoples survived germ warfare, also /1
