We are deeply saddened by the discovery of children’s remains at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School on Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc lands. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragic finding, & campus flags have been lowered to half-mast.

Listen and understand the resistance against the expansion of the iron ore mine in Nunavut. Understand the ongoing project of settler colonialism in Canada. Understand how profits continue to be chosen over people - people defending their way of life & our Earth. @AliqaIllauq
