I can't get over how many privileged folks out there that visit territories that are still closed.
I snuck in to a hot tub at a resort once. But I didn't leave bubble bath.
Fuck.
Clean up after yourself.
We are not your mother.
School curriculum is always a hot topic because people understand the weight of educating future generations.
Teachers, you can do your part by signing up for Truth and Reconciliation Week.

Colonizers always threatened our lives and put us in danger, this isn't new. They just aren't uttering it under their breath.
Just like we aren't being silent anymore.
They aren't mad about a statue. They're mad we still exist.
But the fact that we are still here.
We are still fighting
We are still learning our culture and our language.
We are still breathing...
Colonizers came here to assimilate us.
But!
WE ARE STILL HERE.
I've honestly cried some huge tears today for our ancestors.
What they went through was unacceptable.
What my generations parents, grandparents and beyond went through is not okay.
Everyone is slowly starting to quit holding KKKANATA accountable by saying "Hold the churches accountable "
Fuck that. The churches were hired by the government.
Next .
It's honestly so wild how many people don't see my posts on fb anymore because I was saying fuck the colonialism...
Now everybody is on the same wave as of recent. 👌🏾
Another reminder that cops enforcing a private corporation's injunction, arresting Indigenous youth and other marginalized people, are still wearing 'thin blue line' patches, despite the RCMP telling its officers not to.
This hasn't got enough attention.

For those who asked for an example of continued colonization & genocide by Canada: My dad, an elder, an IRS survivor gets rolled up on & harassed by @FishOceansCAN for simply exerting his right to harvest from the Nation he belongs, #Hesquiaht. #FirstNations
I dream of a day with equality.
Reminder to self: we are carrying this out and holding the state accountable now so our future generations can work towards a better life for themselves.
We aren't done. We are just beginning.
My Dad rarely spoke about residential school. However, one thing that stuck with me was his account of how the older boys would position themselves closer to the door in the dorms so the younger boys wouldn’t be chosen when the priests came to get them at night. #215children
