🍁 Today I am heartbroken by this country I love and the denial that's been perpetuated. I stand in solidarity with the Indigenous community in a day of quiet reflection and mourning. My hopes, frustration, and love is with them and all residential school survivors.
Today, my community honoured the spirits of 215 babies lost at the Kamloops Residential School. We placed our moccasins on the stairs of the former Mohawk Institute Residential School in Brantford. We offered tobacco. We cried. We must never forget and acknowledge these truths.
"I'm here to stand up to this behaviour... I'm proud of where I come from. I'm proud to be from Ochapowace First Nation. I'm not just doing this for myself. I'm doing this for all people of colour & for the next generation."

Today is Red Dress Day. It is a day when we honour missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls & gender diverse people. We remember & uplift them. We support their families. We recognize this disproportionate violence as a national tragedy. We advocate for change. #MMIWG2S
