I have posted a letter to google Drive that you may use to put pressure on Canada's Minister of Fisheries and Oceans to stop hauling Mi'qmaq traps: https://t.co/Enwctr5T0v

Connecting to ancestral foods can strengthen an individual's cultural identity which can have positive mental health impacts. When a community is doing this together, it can strengthen community connectedness impacting the well-being of the community. #NativeFoodWays

That surprised me because Mennonites themselves have had marginalized history in Canada.

[FirstNationsAllies @allies_first]

When I was teaching about residential schools for a Grade 10 Canadian history, course, I downloaded an information package from the Anishinabek Nation and I was surprised to learn that Mennonites ran three residential schools.

Kolin Sutherland-Wilson has been released. Dtsa’hyl will be held overnight until he gets a bail hearing. Two police cars left the Houston Detachment shortly after Dtsa’hyl was brought in. Their sirens were blaring while they sped back towards the frontlines.

With a student, I did the math on how many children died while at residential schools in Canada. It is almost 1 in 4 (23%). This is only the schools covered in the federal settlement though. There were others run by provinces and religious orders though. #TRC

"It's a big thing for Eastern Kuku Yalanji people, for us bama, which means people." Today for @EcoWatch, I wrote about how one of the world's oldest rainforests is returning to Indigenous ownership: https://t.co/llPHCWGujz

Ugh. Cringing over "our first nations." What is my problem?

[FirstNationsAllies @allies_first]

Fellow Canadians: please read this and take action. The Liberals are failing in the Truth and Reconciliation department. If you live in a liberal riding, give your MP a call or send them an email saying you support the moderate livelihood fishery of our first nations.

Enough with the hand-wringing, pearl-clutching arguments over the semantics of the word genocide. It meets the criteria of multiple international standards. Let's admit it and make amends.

[FirstNationsAllies @allies_first]

Apologies to everyone. My life has become. . . complicated. Tomorrow is Truth and Reconciliation Day, and I just wanted to post that it all starts with Truth, as @RussDiabo argues. What Canada has done and continues to do is genocide. Give the #LandBack .

It's never enough, it's never enough, it's never enough until FN gets that #LandBack. . . the deeper you get, the sweeter the rain, don't give up the reign in the word sovereign.
