Indigenous peoples have suffered the deliberate and systemic destruction of their #languages and culture by past governments. And while we can’t change the past, we can—and we must—work together for a better future.
Appreciation tweet for the wonderful women of Minister Bennett’s office. Grateful to work alongside this supportive and dedicated team. #AddWomenChangePolitics
The energy at last night’s event was incredible. Kudos to @IndigWomenLead for bringing inspiring Indigenous women together for Canada’s first Indigenous Women’s Leadership Summit this week. https://t.co/Ap0tC1k07j
Today, on Indigenous Veterans Day, I spoke to the House in Kanien’kéha (Mohawk), used as code in WWII and language of the Kanien’kehá:ka, to honour the contributions of indigenous peoples who served and fought in Canada's armed forces so that we could live in Peace. #cdnpoli
Our government knows that investing in Canada’s arts and culture sector is important for our economy. That is why I announced an important adjustment to the Endowment Incentives component of the CCIF at @OSMConcerts today. #MatchingFund
Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples is a priority for our government. I’m on the lawn of Parliament to discover the giant floor map created by @RCGS_SGRC to accompany the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada initiative. Congratulations for this creative and exciting project! 🗺
Music concerts, visits to the museum, and movie nights: the arts are at the very core of our lives. #ArtsDay on the Hill is the perfect occasion to highlight the great work of our Canadian creators. Thank you @ArtsCoalitionCa for organizing this event every year! #CreativeCanada
On #OrangeShirtDay, we remember the thousands of residential school survivors. It’s an opportunity to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and to acknowledge the past, because #EveryChildMatters. 🔶🔸🔶
