Did y'all notice I got no support regarding the court case from Indian Act Chiefs nor FSIN nor AFN?

Let that sink in.

From our board member @emilyjaneriddle: "To be an Indigenous woman in this country is to intimately understand interpersonal and systemic gaslighting. Gaslighters psychologically manipulate so we question our own reality. Trudeau gov's treatment of JWR constitutes exactly that."

If you hear that the federal child welfare legislation was "co-developed"; it was not. First Nations were not co-drafting the legislation and were not provided with a 2nd draft before it was tabled despite voicing significant concerns with the 1st draft.

Seamus O'Regan promises to rag the puck until the election.
This is not a plan of action from a government three years into its mandate.

After consulting the Wet’suwet’en chiefs I will be traveling to the blockade set up along the Morice River to support the chiefs message of peaceful dialogue & respect for the land.

I will make af formal statement after I’ve met with all sides.

These 2 politicians have been promoting false reconciliation by saying they'll implement UNDRIP. They're pushing a Canadian definition of UNDRIP, based on the racist, colonial doctrine of discovery & division of powers to convert bands into municipalities & privatize reserves!

"The Unist’ot’en House Group has made a specific effort to protect their land and use it to support future generations. The construction of the Coastal Gaslink pipeline would both interrupt that work and threaten the health and vitality of the land..." https://t.co/XbFrEYhKJ3

Free, Prior, Informed Consent (FPIC) means you need INFORMATION for planning, management & implementation of Sustainable Development Plans for Restoration or Restitution of your lands, territories & resources beyond your reserve! #IdleKnowMore #WiseUp #RiseUp

For the last 150+ yrs. Canada's Indian Act reserve system has forced socio-economic underdevelopment of Indigenous communities & Nations while Canadians enriched themselves from stolen lands, territories & resources, which continues to be unfair subsidies to Canada's economy!

"PM Justin Trudeau is holding his regular cabinet meeting at 9:30 a.m. and will attend QP at 2 p.m. In the afternoon at 4:30 p.m., he's slated to address delegates gathered for the Assembly of First Nations' special chiefs assembly. He also plans to take part in a Q&A."

An amazing artistic update/remake of the Harold Cardinal's book cover "The Unjust Society" by Mary McPherson titled "Reconcile What?" Like they say a picture says a thousand words!

Canada will never be the nation it was meant to be until it realizes that its greatest resource isn't the oil, gas or minerals, but the potential of this generation of Indigenous children. On National Child Day, we must do better.

This. This is the lesson @Carolyn_Bennett @CynthiaTomlins8 says "I'm not going to bad-mouth Indian Act Chiefs & Councils, thats not why I'm here. I'm here to tell you inherent & traditional governance structures based on our laws still exist today, & they're strong." #WILC2018
