Amazing progress on our student housing project in Red Rock! Trusses are up, and we’re ready to start the roof shingles. Proud to see our Indigenous youth building a home for Ginoogamaing First Nation and gaining invaluable skills along the way! @SGDSBoard @MatawaFNM #housing

I plan to be there for the opening of this very important inquest to support the family.

Crown officials behaved in “dishonorable” “egregious” and “shocking” ways for decades in their dealings with the Anishinaabe peoples living on the northern shores of Lake Superior, says Canada’s highest court by ⁦@Colinfreeze⁩. https://t.co/wvirmaR4CL

ICYMI: Grassy Narrows launched a legal application against Ontario today.

It states the Mining Act is unconstitutional by allowing online mine staking with no consultation from affected First Nations.

Here is my statement on that action:

ICYMI: The north is not empty land.

It’s the homelands and treaty territories of so many people across Kiiwetinoong.

The land isn’t begging for drill holes and mining .

Yesterday, I joined survivors of Ralph Rowe in sharing their stories to the Anglican Church of Canada.

Rowe is one of the most prolific pedophiles in Canada where he abused over 500 boys in northern Ontario, with limited jail time.

Here is my media statement:

We were punished for speaking our languages and banned from using them in the legislature. My speech turned a page @solmamakwa https://t.co/j3MRx0Ft5Q via @torontostar

This cover, by the legendary Kent Monkman, says so much. All of my book covers hold meaning. This one, is a perfect companion to the inside pages. The Knowing is a book about the matriarchal line of my family, a book about finding our lost relations. If every First Nations, Métis and Inuit family told their story, we would rewrite the truth about Canada. All my relations. @HarperCollinsCa On sale Aug 27. https://t.co/CtOWYcnpiA

[Chiefs of Ontario @ChiefsofOntario]

(1/2) In Ontario alone, it will cost $58.9 billion to ensure on-reserve infrastructure in First Nations in Ontario is on par with the rest of the province by 2030 — a gap that is among the widest in the country.

The MPP for Kiiwetinoong ⁦@solmamakwa⁩ does great things. A chance conversation with Paul Calandra at Queen’s Park led to Anishinabemowin added as an official language in the Ont Legislature along with English and French. https://t.co/DGSxFVjVKl

How many times, Canada? Our children are just as precious as anyone else’s kids. Mackenzie Moonias was last seen on Wednesday around 9 a.m. in the 100 block of University Drive, Thunder Bay. MacKenzie’s body was found today in the water.

[Alvin Fiddler @gcfiddler]

Not having access to clean water is the root of many issues that our communities deal with every day. We are hopeful that this legislation is a step toward in developing meaningful solutions that respect our sovereignty and actually work on the ground.
