It still surprise me how a 16 year old girl's speech in 5 minutes makes more sense than American president's in an hour. #GretaThunberg #Davos20

Did you know? If you were a First Nations child between 2009-2017 and were unable to apply/or were denied a federal public service or good b/c of Canada's discriminatory approach to Jordan's Principle that Canada must now review your case? Contact 1-855-JP-CHILD or 1-833-PJENFAN

Starting today! Words to think about not using to describe First Nations. Top of my list "healing." Defining peoples as recovery from pain versus building on multi-generational strength and rights recognition reinforces the savage/civilized dichotomy that underpins colonialism.

The righteous are rarely right. They are so tied up in being right they cannot learn to do right.

So blessed to know these great people! They brought reconciliation to the classroom long before it was popular and generations of kids are better for it:)

Happy birthday to Shannen Koostachin who spent her whole life advocating for “safe and comfy” schools. Help make her dream a reality. Write to your member of Parliament and tell them to implement the 2012 Parliamentary Motion on Shannen’s Dream

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education. #MondayMotivation #MotivationMonday

True patriots don't just show up for the fireworks, they recognize a country's wrongdoing & set it right. As you celebrate today, tell @JustinTrudeau to adopt the Spirit Bear Plan to end ALL discriminatory inequalities in First Nations children's services https://t.co/EthrqkLwAo

The International Community has weighed in on Canada's Human Rights Record and urges Canada to ensure First Nations children have equitable access to all services. Read the full UPR report here: https://t.co/kmEbDIa4N0

This amounts to an announcement of a coming announcement. I look forward to seeing what it means and in the interim look to Canada to implement the solutions, legal rulings and agreements already on the books. https://t.co/7XjER4iLEK

Clarification: The child welfare portion of Budget 2016 was prepared in the fall of 2015- before the Tribunal ruled and not altered after. 684 million was allocated over 5 years but close to 80% remains in federal coffers for future years or retained to cover INAC costs.

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

Whew! Hopefully next year yields the same result. https://t.co/i5PF4bfCVH

Think gov’t should put off making sure First Nations have clean drinking water? Try going without water from a tap for a week and then ask yourself that same question. https://t.co/gxKnppJT9g
