My life, and the lives of my family have been forever changed as a result of the contributions of Honourable Murray Sinclair. Grateful for his immense sacrifices…one of the greatest humanitarians of our time! Prayers for him & his family🩷🙌🏽
As shared publicly on Facebook, the family of the Honourable Murray Sinclar has shared that he is unwell, that he is in serious and unstable condition. -- Asking for prayers from across NDN country, including allies, supporters, friend, and really any life he has touched, which is countless.
He has served us as lawyer, judge, Senator and Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. A lifetime of bringing justice, truth and fairness for Indigenous peoples and those who have suffered in many capacities.
From his rulings, to his day to day wisdom he shares with us on social media, to the power Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he has given over and over again.
Let's pray hard in anyway that you do for him and his family, for this truly wondering human being - Justice, Judge, Senator - the honourable Murray Sinclair.

Her daughter smiled.
I was wearing my ribbon skirt in that moment and it was just like a, hell yes we indigenous women write books and do bad ass things, moment 🥹
This morning I was grabbing coffee in the lobby of the lodge im staying at and a woman asked me if my name was Helen.
I said yes.
She explained she was from Enoch Cree Nation & had just finished reading my book.
We chatted then I introduced myself to her daughter who was 8 or 9
