my one hope for the future is that indigenous women and girls are protected and loved and cherished and no harm can ever befall them ever again

New piece by ⁦@SeanCarleton⁩ and I: Denial of residential schools isn’t just misinformation, it’s an ethical issue we all share. We need honest reckoning and collective responsibility. #ResidentialSchools #TruthAndReconciliation https://t.co/l4xEEJxeT4

Rita Joe was one of Canada's most acclaimed poets.
Often called the Poet Laureate of the Mi'kmaq People, she took the pain of her time in Residential School and put it into her poetry.
Today, she is celebrated across Canada.
This is her story.

Both truths exist.

We never asked to be in this boat. Our nations existed long before Canada. But the reality is—we’re not just passengers now. Our lands, our children, our rights are all tied to the decisions this government makes with or without us.

Voting doesn’t mean we accept colonial rule. It means we understand the battlefield.

We’re still under the Indian Act. Still governed by policies we didn’t consent to. As long as that’s true, we can’t afford to stay silent while they legislate our future.

We vote not because we believe in their system—but because we’re protecting our own.

Prayers up for those most vulnerable facing these fires— homeless, working class, disabled, elders, the animals and plants.

Do what you can wherever you are to resist colonial alienation from our kinship.

The cost of gender-based violence in school?

❌ lost learning
❌ lost dreams
❌ a lost generation of leaders

Don’t overlook that there’s a crisis in Canada- one of many crises affecting Indigenous Peoples- police violence is claiming an alarming number of Indigenous lives. Here’s to reconciliation month.
