The most important time is the day after the apology so here is my "To Do" list for the Catholic Church, the Holy See and @Pontifex

[Aysha @msyaqoob_]

Days like today, I’m reminded that no amount of “diversity training” or diversity statements can fix a racist and colonial institution.

Someone reached out to me to share their experience with @UofRegina Prof. Allan East. It’s 2021.

Today’s @RegPublicSchool PD: learning how to bead with @Tammy10098631 ♥️@BalfourColl

[Balfour Collegiate @BalfourColl]

Our staff had a busy PD Day today. One of our afternoon sessions was led by our very own Balfour Bear @danayastevenson! Danaya taught us how to create our own digital cartoon portraits and shared her awesome art skills with us. Check out her drawing of @Beyonce! @RegPublicSchool

Making more frames for stretching out hides & 2nd soak is complete! @Tammy10098631 & Knowledge Keeper Gary Gott have been working with students and hides since September in our Culture Room & Secret Garden! #balfourpride @BalfourColl

Colten Boushie. Tina Fontaine. Cindy Gladue now Barbara Kentner. We have seen what Canada’s “justice” system does. My thoughts on the Brayden Bushby trial: Canada’s courts are barely hiding their disdain for Indigenous people https://t.co/A88FUJPisC

[Perry Bellegarde @perrybellegarde]

Today is the 146th anniversary of Treaty 4!

As a Treaty 4 First Nations person, it’s important that we celebrate the Treaty we have with the Crown. Through education and awareness, we can achieve understanding and action.

I compiled a list of ideas for teaching students about residential schools with Orange Shirt Day coming up on September 30th.

Opinion: 'Back then' attitudes not an excuse to ignore the atrocities of the past https://t.co/rTO63MT2st

Special mention to @cblackst @trublwithnormal @joelwestheimer thank you for being such great educators.

[Clifford Jones @CJ_HCS_Sup]

It was a hot day for picking sage, but it was great to see all the educators today leaning the indigenous land based teachings. We did our best at social distancing. kinanaskomitinawaw @RegPublicSchool

[Tana Mitchell @Ta2mitch]

@jeffcappo @RegPublicSchool Thanks for the teachings @jeffcappo

[Tana Mitchell @Ta2mitch]

@courosa I would love to learn this too! Thanks @courosa!

The research team found that the thinking scaffolds were instrumental in generating a shift towards more expert-level reasoning.

Some news: I'll be joining the @globeandmail in September as a bi-monthly columnist while lending a hand in investigations. These are important times. I'm grateful for the opportunity to amplify our voices, reach those I would not have reached before. https://t.co/6Rc7Y1BENw

[The Decolonial Atlas @decolonialatlas]

Settlers live on a continent full of places named Fort, but refuse to admit that it's stolen land. Like, what do you think all those forts were for?

Scaffolded anti-racism resources to work through, instead of just posting a black square: https://t.co/zISmWOWoEO #blacklivesmatter
