Neon fairies, kaleidoscopic tipis, and rainbow mountains.

They’re adding joy and colour to the streets of Edmonton, as part of the City’s Vibrant Streets Art Contest.

Can you spot them all? 👀

A powerful new visual of the famous Desmond Tutu quote, created by @Juliet_Young1: ‘We need to stop just pulling people out of the river. Some of us need to go upstream and find out why they are falling in’.

“Even though they will find some bodies, baby bodies up there, in my mind, I picture they all went to a good place.”

Indigenous prof says UBC's silence on Turpel-Lafond controversy casts 'shadow' on institution - Internal university email says the university wanted to avoid doing ‘damage control’ https://t.co/WmDKLSKf9C

Birth certificate contradicts Turpel-Lafond's account of her father's parentage and ancestry |
--- Also Turpel-Lafond claimed in a national radio interview that she was born in Norway House, Man.https://t.co/PSxovzjE8V

@HaidaMuseum is doing amazing work! To say thanks for all the teachings they shared at @BCMuseumsAssn / @HeritageBCanada #JointConference, I made a donation to support their #repatriation efforts & encourage all other conference attendees to do the same! https://t.co/3IjLV7wLka

An afternoon of visiting with fellow #truth seeker @rymoran, talking about how our personal stories intersect with our community work in #truthandreconciliation. Grateful for time with someone who understands how challenging & rewarding this work is. Thank you, my friend ✊🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽

Grateful to share space with @jadhulbert exploring #reciprocity.

Indigenous women are steady in holding METL accountable. Indigenous men keep running to her rescue - this is the very basis of Colonization. Elevating Indigenous mens’ voices (imposed patriarchy) and silencing Indigenous womens’ voices - in this case for a non-Indigenous woman.

[Miranda Jimmy @TheMirandaJimmy]

@HaidaMuseum reps at @BCMuseumsAssn / @HeritageBCanada Conference talking about the namesake of the room for this session on #repatriation at @RoyalBCMuseum is one of the worse thieves of their ancestors & items. Good lesson in how #museums ≠ safe spaces for #Indigenous ppls
