Amos Alonzo Stagg lived to be 102, and coached for 58 years. After winning a championship, a reporter asked him, “Coach, what do you think of your team?” Stagg said, “I’ll tell you in 20 years.”
Who they would become was more important to him than the scoreboard, wins, and record

Determining Indigenous Identity by Indian registers, blood quantum, racist and deeply sexist sections of the Indian Act and clouded memories is indicative of our impoverished view of citizenship.

Alpha is my husbands grandmother, and Carol is my husbands mother. We stand united with our Lafond family ❤️

[Carol Lafond @Carollafun]

We, Albert & Alpha Lafond family, accept Mary-Ellen Lafond and her sisters as Cree. Our family is one and understand her family history which is like many #Indigenous families - affected by government and church interventions. Mary-Ellen is our sister, niece, aunt and cousin.

@bonsjl @JulieSLalonde Another good one is thinly sliced with a mandolin you use olive oil and Montreal steak spice and bake it (I forget how long a catering company I worked for did it) great side dish

[Andrea Harding @andrea_leask]

@bonsjl @JulieSLalonde I don’t have a ton of zucchini recipes (surprisingly) but my 2 favs are : grill basket on bbq of red pepper, red onion, portobello, zucchini and asparagus, top with olive oil and grill then add to wraps, salad , pizza, or a vegan pesto pasta

Today our family is taking a moment to honour and remember Jordan River Anderson and the fight that will continue to be fought to ensure First Nations children receive equitable access to services. #BearWitnessDay #JordansPrinciple

Dear Journalists reporting on COVID. Please do not use “Indigenous” unless the issue applies to all three groups to the same extent. First Nations, Métis and Inuit have distinct circumstances that get lost in umbrella terms like Indigenous and make it harder to tackle.

Trust and relationship builds the strongest team.

Before and after. Believe it or not, my room has seating for 28. That’s just counting table surfaces. Add in clipboards and the carpet/bench area and there’s space for well over 30. That before pic? All those desks still only gave me seating for 24. Kind of a no brainer. 🤷‍♀️

Literacy with a Northern focus group surveyed Range Lake in search of pond invertebrates. We found some!

Today's "is it genocide?" resource. Historian James Daschuk chronicles the use of starvation as a government tool to subjugate Indigenous peoples to "clear" the lands to build the railroad. Watch this short clip and read the book for more detail: https://t.co/ySSpSRKc42

Today's "Is it genocide?" resource comes from historian @Ian_Mosby documenting nutritional experiments on Aboriginal peoples and children in residential schools. Read the full article here: https://t.co/wRyZK7SNt4

AMEN!

[Andrea Harding @andrea_leask]

Literacy with a Northern Focus, session, took place on Range Lake where students searched for loose parts in nature that matched their colour chips. Learning the English words for their findings, and a LOT about the outdoors along the way! #rangelakenorth #innovationyk1

A special thanks to this group of SJF students, who have volunteered a block of time each week for a 5 week cycle, to teach our students how to drum! Loving the multi- school collaboration!

I love this! As a principal I work hard at not saying ‘my school’ or ‘my teachers’ but ‘our school’ and ‘the teachers I work with’.
