Silence is & has been a Canadian & Christian value.

Wake up from your denial & embedded ignorance.

Didn’t your religion preach the truth will set you free? 🤔

If I’m wrong please correct me...........#Canada #215Indigenouschildren #truth #CatholicChurch

@cwyjcm as an Indigenous Alum I’m wondering what your role is in reconciliation as I have not heard any statements from your leadership on the uncovering of a mass grave site of 215 Indigenous children in B.C
reconciliation is about action and this action must begin immediately.

@jannarden I once ate Japanese food in a restaurant in Toronto while watching you eat three tables away from me. 😊 I thought you were a member of the barenaked ladies 😎🔥

Remember education comes in all forms. Don’t restrict yourself to assume there is only one way. We are all life long learners and the “academy” is not all knowing. What type of education are we buying these days anyway?

My #culturalsafety #ethicalspace framework. #Cree natural law “Wahkohtowin”. #Wahkohtowin will guide our actions. It is about living with each other in a good “healthy” way, & how we are all connected & have responsibilities to those we share the world with. #culturalhumility

I’m appreciating technology a lot more than ever #MAELM #EDLM560 The radical COVID-19 shift to e-learning has essentially compelled more teachers than ever before to grapple with and learn to use technology, mostly on the fly. https://t.co/aYMmmZLI71

These times of uncertainty can become frustrating and difficult but remember your inner strength, call upon it when it’s needed #Cree #creelanguage #INDIGENOUS shout out to my cohorts as we journey forward together #EDLM560

Who misses their work space? Post a photo of your office, classroom, or work environment. @BowValley I miss Iniikokaan Centre, the smell of sweet grass, the laughter of our students, and wisdom of our Elders! Until we meet again
