Posting this in the hope that Yorkton RCMP will actually investigate this letter Yorkton Tribal Council got in mail July 24. Tribal Chief and Mayor of Yorkton work to create good relations but Indig women not a priority for RCMP.

Racism hurts the living. But when the living have to fight to protect their deceased loved ones from racism after a murder? It’s barbaric. If you aren’t feeling outrage then you are not paying attention.
Since elected I have not attended the AFN, COO and NAN meetings. I barely made the last Matawa Chiefs meeting. I see a great disconnect to what the FNs really want to do especially protecting their homelands, rivers, environment especially their aboriginal and treaty rights.
There's been a lot of effort going into making sure no forensic audit takes place at the AFN after the former National Chief spent her entire term trying to get one.
@ScottScambler @RussDiabo@ChiefRoseAnne Possibly because the Feds want a NC who will more aggressively sell the federal agenda - termination of historic Treaty agreements and reduce the Crown’s fiduciary to FNs People.
The Confederacy of Treaty No. 6 Nations says it “is embarrassed and disheartened by the way an internal HR matter has played out so publicly for so long. We are disappointed these events have led to the expulsion of the first female National Chief.”
@CowynW@DrKyle In our language there are no gender pronouns so the term Two Spirited upholds binary standards of gender. I am an ally so best to converse with an actual Indigenous Queer person.
@CowynW@DrKyle Some Indigenous people identify as Two Spirited. It is a modern term used to recognize complex gender identities. However, not all Queer Indigenous people identify as Two Spirited.
@CowynW@DrKyle I am Anishinabe (Plains Ojibwe) from Treaty 4. Two Spirited/Queer people have always been a part of us and we are a part of them because they are our relatives. So no, we are not insulted.
@punkedDraftsman @MFSagkeeng@SKera_1@PierrePoilievre Our Anishinabe origin story and “mythologies” are conceptual. We do come from the sky, like all life that began on earth when the Big Bang occurred.
How horrible. How could @AFN_Updates side with @MarcMillerVM against First Nation kids in foster care? All they have to do is amend the agreement instead of taking away the compensation away from these kids who already won the decision . AFN and Canada should be ashamed.
Grand Chief George Arcand, Confederacy of Treaty 6, “Canada is trying to transfer a broken system to the First Nations. We cannot let that happen…Let’s spend the next four days strategizing.”
