Many Canadians know of The Group Of Seven, but have you heard of the Indigenous Group of Seven?

Formally known as the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation, it formed in 1973 with seven Indigenous artists to promote Indigenous art.

These are the artists 👇🖼️

“The First Nations Health Authority is cutting off counselling coverage for former residential school students in B.C. and their families, as well as those of missing or murdered Indigenous women — unless they have a status card.”

@Martyupnorth_2 Using a pic from CBC/2011 is not proof of. I’ve not noticed you generalizing Indigenous people so broadly before. You appear to be intelligent enough to recognize the problem with this post.

Jean Chretien turns 90 this week "Jean Chrétien
is the embodiment of Canadian values" says Tom Mulcair. Indeed, Chretien has a legacy of betrayal & deceit toward First Nations, spanning his political career from Minister of Indian Affairs, to Justice Minister to Prime Minister!

@MinaarPhil22900 I think I already agreed that a position should go to most qualified. And cultural hires exist. For a reason. This goes beyond dei. Book learned only goes so far. SC doesn’t and can’t have Indig experience. Regardless he does a lot of speaking for and silencing Indig voice.

@guylafr204 @MinaarPhil22900 @SeanCarleton @umanitoba @UMbINDG Well of course they should be inclusive. I never suggested that Indigenous studies is or should be the sole domain of Indigenous peoples.

[Miles, T.M. @T_MMiles2152]

@guylafr204 @MinaarPhil22900 @SeanCarleton @umanitoba @UMbINDG Why not have someone who doesn’t refer to every person who poses a question about Indigenous issues (ie, residential schools) as a denier who needs to automatically be diminished/cancelled by the very act of inquiry?

[Miles, T.M. @T_MMiles2152]

@guylafr204 @MinaarPhil22900 @SeanCarleton @umanitoba @UMbINDG He champions himself as an ally. He’s taking a position that places himself in control of others, creates policy etc. for Indigenous peoples. Wouldn’t it make sense that that person be Indigenous.

[Miles, T.M. @T_MMiles2152]

@guylafr204 @MinaarPhil22900 @SeanCarleton @umanitoba @UMbINDG I’m sure he doesn’t see it that way. I don’t see it that way either. It’s those ‘below’ him that he is concerned with….

[Miles, T.M. @T_MMiles2152]

@MrMaps1867 @SeanCarleton @umanitoba @UMbINDG Nice statement of judgment, putting me in my place and all that…stay classy 🙄 As a matter of fact yes I am qualified for the position. Considering I hold a doctoral degree and have treaty status.

Land acknowledgments are the condiments in the potluck of reconciliation. They add to the overall meal but by themselves, it’s not very filling.
