Reclaiming traditions to help #indigenous people reconnect to culture by creating strong circles for reproductive health teachings and indigenous midwifery

@david_parker Be grateful you’re still breathing, thief. Yte people would never had survived if it wasn’t for the original people of this land.
You got a lot of nerve showing your racist face anywhere

Today is National Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) Awareness Day, also known as Red Dress Day. This date was chosen to honor the life of Hanna Harris (Northern Cheyenne), who was murdered in July 2013 and would have turned 32 today.

“This is a day to honor the women, girls, and LGBTQ+ people affected by the genocide that’s been ongoing since 1492,” said journalist and activist Brandi Morin. And for her, it’s impossible to separate gender-based violence from the environment—and the fight for a healthier planet. “This violence is intrinsically connected to the land. Survivors are on the forefront of the fight for the land, because they know what it’s like not to give consent.”

@MarkCherrington Keep me posted if nothing surfaces. We can repost

@apihtawikosisan Wow. For real?

[Indigenous Birth AB @IndigenousBirth]

@MarkCherrington This is it. Barging in, really doesn’t set the tone for how we should be working with families. It sets out a tone for hierarchical announcement. We’ve worked with some great SW assessors and it takes some ego dropping but it makes it smoother and reassures parent

[Indigenous Birth AB @IndigenousBirth]

@HaruunYEG This.

Today, helped a grieving mother come to some understanding of her daughter's death. A missing Indigenous woman, daughter was found unresponsive on the hospital grounds of Royal Alex Hospital December 29. Unfortunately, she could not be revived.

[Mark Cherrington @MarkCherrington]

Did Cherish try to access hospital ER prior? If so, did she leave hospital ER Room? Was she banned and not allowed inside? Did she succumb shy of the doors and passed? Was she dropped or dumped off? Well, no police investigation, and no information given to grieving mom.

@janetmarieroger THAT is awesome 😍

[Mark Cherrington @MarkCherrington]

Judge Couchard nails it! Child Welfare is a disaster, & lost common sense as Couchard points out. Fact is, with so many First Nations developing their own CW law, and 70% of children Indigenous, CW will soon be an empty shell, inerit. #abpoli #ableg

@MarkCherrington I am so happy the judge had the courage to do this and speak this and make those recommendations. We currently have someone causing alot of harm to families doing just what happened here, and I want to take this article and shove it down his throat.

@creeation72 Sending you lots of love, Sarah. Please touch base with us if you would need an ear. Some of our aunties works specifically in the area of grief -Nadia

@GlobalEdmonton I agree, this is beyond vandalism. To be smashing toilets and writing derogatory and racial slurs? Where are the cameras …. @EFCL

[Indigenous Birth AB @IndigenousBirth]

@janetmarieroger The only thing I want to hear about Land acknowledgements is that everything that’s happening is wrong, it’s been stolen and how they are committed to finding a way to get us land back

“We don’t live on our reservation. We survive on our reservation. People snowed in for days are burning clothes in their wood stoves because they're out of wood. We’re in serious need of some help.”

I can’t believe I have to say this … but a provincial government really has to respect and observe Treaty rights.

@DrMakokis Oh wow… those moments. I’m glad they eventually stood up. My favourite are the folks who tell stories of being discriminated against by Indigenous people because they are the only non Indigenous there
