Principal message coming out of panel of Chiefs overseeing searches: the ultimate objective of finding the bodies of children who died in #residentialschools must be justice. Much discussion about taking a case to the UN to ensure the government of Canada is held accountable - including by Grand Chief of the Quebec Cree Mandy Gull-Masty #indigenous #firstnations #wearestillhere #landback

Today I bring you awareness and ask for your help in getting these children in unmarked graves back to their ancestral lands...

Notice: I am NOT suggesting non-Indigenous, non-BIPOC people post with most of these hashtags. Follow, ally, educate yourself, etc. but don’t appropriate is always good advice for allies.

All First Nations ppl deserve to know the names of the children lying in unmarked graves at every single site at Indian Boarding schools. #Indigenous #WeAreStillHere

There is no sense of humanity in the U.S. Government. Instead of stealing our children, they plan to make us die of thirst...

If you are not following this guy on #tiktok what is wrong with you?

I am going to put a warning on this post. (I hate putting warnings on anything because it's educational information that should be shared.) But it's horrific content, and I bawled my eyes out learning this. Even this guy by the end of the video looks like he might lose it.

Anyways. Thank an #Indigenous American for the science of nutritional information...

Just to let you all know, that Canadian Indian Boarding schools were not the only place where they found unmarked graves. There are schools in the U.S. where unmarked graves were found too. This indoctrination is still happening. If SCOTUS does overturn #ICWA it will get worse for #Indigenous Americans to even exist on reservations. Big oil is out to get us through our children, and the government is letting it happen...

But I do feel in some way our ancestors are with us, know and are as thrilled as we are, or even more so.

I was telling @Tzipporah yesterday our ancestors must be tripping to see the influence of traditional #Mvskoke designs into their art, and taking up beading. It's very exciting.

Still there is a great journey ahead of us.

The genocide of #Indigenous Americans is still being waged in the US. In June the supreme court will be deciding the fate of #ICWA, Indian Child Welfare Act. If the act does get over turned it will mean the genocide of a culture and my people. Please, I beg of you to call your state representatives and ask that they codify #ICWA into their state laws. These 10 states have, California, Oregon, Washington, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, Wisconsin and Oklahoma. #WeAreStillHere

Give it to us.

50 days until the supreme court makes their decision on #ICWA. And only 10 states have laws that codify the federal protections under ICWA: California, Oregon, Washington, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, Wisconsin and Oklahoma.

If you do not see your state here, what are you going to do to help us? Get on your phone to your state reps!

Royal Mail has offered a three-year pay deal, averaging just over 3% for each year of the deal. Yet the CWU has called no further strikes.
