"First Nations are not sitting on their hands and expecting the federal government to solve the tragedies of their communities. But, we have been legislated into a position where our power is to make proposals and seek program dollars from your bureaucracy. When we are then ignored, our hands are tied and our children continue to needlessly die."

Extract from letter to Trudeau from Alvin Fiddler from #Treaty9Territory #AllOurRelations by #TanyaTalaga

What a book!!!
Cannot recommend it enough #AllOurRelations by #WinonaLaduke. It was suggested to me once I read equally powerful, #BraidingSweetgrass. Both books tear up 💔 and build something in you.
