Finally things are moving ahead at "ground zero." I am glad to see Manitoba and the federal government working together which will result in a nationwide approach. We MUST all #implement #MMIWG2S Calls for Justice

We as Anishinabe people recognize that we are also a part of a Universal Family. We place great reverence upon our relationship with Grandmother Moon and Grandfather Sun. The Anishinaabemowin word for Solar Eclipse is “Aazowekidaadok Giizook” (sun and moon meet)🌙☀️

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Colonialism still affects Indigenous people within Canada’s justice systems, healthcare systems, and more. Together, we can stand up against racial discrimination, and hold these systems accountable.

We have a responsibility to protect mother earth. We all must work together. #recycle

“We know from the national inquiry into murdered and missing indigenous women and girls, calls for Justice 9.1 to 9.11 that current systems that are there to protect us aren’t. This is a critical initiative."

Thanks @LeahGazan

I am happy to see that the 2024 Arctic Winter Games was a success. I want to congratulate all athletes. As Nelson Mandela said “Sport has the power to change the world, it has the power to inspire.” https://t.co/11eTc8AUfn

Happy #PinkShirtDay! 👚 This day was born out of an act of kindness in 2007 and has grown to an international movement. At NWAC, we have zero tolerance for bullying and strive to help create a world that is more inclusive and accepting.

My deepest condolences to the community and all loved ones who had five members taken from them much too soon.

Violence of this magnitude is incomprehensible.

I will not rest until concrete measures to end domestic violence are implemented.
