The Daily Drum
Today I am featuring a “Spirit Woman” Drum.
In Mi'kmaw tradition, women are accorded the highest respect and regard, for they are the portals through which a spirit comes to earth.
Have a Merry Christmas.
It is Orange Shirt Day to honour the Residential School survivors and the children who were lost. Here is a thread on what you and your family can do today to make reconciliation a reality! Start reading the TRC Calls to Action and pick some to work on.
On the eve of the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, #GGMaySimon calls on us to “stand side-by-side with grace and humility, and work together to build a better future for all.”

Started our #TruthandReconciliation week of learning with a livestream via @NCTR_UM. Students heard Autumn Peltier speak about being a water protector and a young advocate, racism and what we can all do to be part of the Reconciliation process. #nationalTRW#EveryChildMatters 🧡
Kwe' our Grade 9 Dalbrae Mi'kmaw Word of the Day is Back and better then ever. Our class is willing to search words that everyone would love to learn, send us words that you might want to learn. Enjoy! Kiskuk Klusuaqn na Nujikina'muet - today's Mi'kmaq word of the day is Teacher
The reason I love the @Olympics is that it forces everyone to pay attention to women's sport. Studies show female athletes receive just 4% of sports media coverage. In Tokyo thus far they are 100% of @TeamCanada's medals. #Tokyo2020#TeamCanada
This spring, Emma Stevens (Eskasoni) Morgan Toney (Wagmatcook) and @SHiFTFROMTHA902 (We'koqma'q) received funding from @nsgov to create a song about hope and healing. Directed by Indigenous filmmaker @S_Clattenburg , this is Wela'lin (Thank You).

On this National Indigenous Peoples Day I am thinking especially of the First Nation students at NNEC who so proudly share their history, culture and sense of community with all of us. They are such wonderful teachers. Here is a throwback to last year’s Mawio’mi at NNEC.
