Excited to hand over distribution of my best-selling book First Nations 101 to Page Two Books and their partner Raincoast Books! This will get it into more hands and free up my time to do more public presentations, workshops, and training. #grateful #reconciliation #Indigenous

The Canoe Festival is 1 week away! Canoe races have been a vital part of our cultural fabric for as long as Coast Salish people have occupied the territories around the Salish Sea. We look forward to hosting the races at our traditional village of Whey-ah-Wichen.

Mount Saint Vincent University has stripped METL of the honorary degree they granted to her in 2005. We commend their courage and leadership. Stealing our identities, histories and trauma brings consequences. METL no longer holds ANY honorary doctorate degrees.

[Connie Walker @connie_walker]

A Pulitzer & a Peabody!! What an unbelievable 2 days! This feels like undeniable proof that Indigenous stories matter & that we should support Indigenous people to tell them. We are so grateful to survivors who shared with us & hope this means more people will hear their voices.

[Lynda Gray @Firstnations101]

I had a great visit to Quw’utsun territory to present to hundreds of teachers in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. Hopefully it leads to better educational and social outcomes for Indigenous students 😊
