04/28: I spoke to the @cityofwinnipeg supporting the SPIRIT of the "Corporate Advertising Policy.”
A randy night at the senior's centre has more teeth than this #policy.
It took #Winnipeg months to put "We prefer #kindness" in print.

Our elected officials are tone deaf to harm corporate #Winnipeg enables. Context is key to understanding and interrupting my presentation proved that.

I wrote this last year but on this Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Girls and 2 Spirit Awareness Day it bears repeating.

On this day of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirit Awareness I honor my Great Great Grandmother Louisa (Yahola) Scott who lost her life in 1900 to violence that is still all too familiar to us today.

I don't know what she looked like. To be honest the only thing I know about her life are the details of her death, a senseless act of brutality that shouldn't be the only thing that defines her.
The idea that a basic right you hold could disappear overnight is unfathomable. Many in shock now. But for Native people, especially for Native women, it has been our reality that court cases and policies take and take, as that is the way of settler colonialism. #RoeVWade
Native women held power prior to colonization within in their tribal nations, it was settler colonialism that stole that away. The women’s rights movement lifted ideas from Native women, because our bodies, minds, and spirits were always ours.
Native women’s knowledge of plants ensured they had a choice of when and if they wanted to have a baby. Divorce was easy as putting their husbands possession’s outside the door. Settler colonial heteropatriarchy is foreign to these lands.
Welcome to the Campaign to #FreeMaddesyn George. Maddesyn is a 27-year-old member of the Colville Confederated Tribes who has been jailed since July 2020 for defending herself against a white man who raped her and threatened her life. #MMIWG2S #SurvivedAndPunished

Richard Harveys open letter to Tim Wilson. -- Don't you find it extremely weird that people who say there is nothing to find , collaborate together to shut down research? This letter is from Dec 2020, but it shows the corruption and collaboration that they will go to to shut down
research in our area. @MMF @MNC @MikmaqRights @SSHRC_CRSH -- Since when is it ok for Darryl Leroux to get grants to harass, dox and gaslight, Indigenous women online, women who have lost their heritage through no fault of their own , but still have their identity from their
families, and need to drag out a dog pedigree first to stop the attacks? In what fucking world is that ok ? This man does not follow any Indigenous research protocols at all. He breaks Human Rights Laws on a daily basis. He is allowed to get grants for his work to kill the

I’m attending WI 2020 Victory’s event, “WI Roundtable to Discuss the Violence Against Women Act and Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women” – sign up now to join me! mobilize.us/wi2020victory/… #mmiw #mmiwg #vawa #wisdems
Arvina Martin @Arvina4WI introduces Rep. Beth Meyers, and @beth_rep introduces @HeidiHeitkamp. All acknowledge and honor the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She would want us to continue the fight to protect women. #MMIW #MMIWG #RIPRBG
Heitkamp: VAWA passing was a collaborative effort. Led by Democrats, supported by some Republicans. COngress failed to reauthorize the act. Why? Fight about: Are we going to include LGBTQ+? How will we show up in unique situation of Indigenous/Tribal women?
Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay, still observed by some as #ColumbusDay. In a #thread, @misscorinne86 of @powwows explains how the movement to reclaim the day began, and why focusing on Native issues is so important: (1/11)
The first officially recognized #IndigenousPeoplesDay in the U.S. started in 1989 when the South Dakota legislature passed a proposal by Governor Mickelson to make 1990 a "Year of Reconciliation" for the crimes of the past. (2/11)

Though Native Americans have probably discussed the idea of an #IndigenousPeoplesDay since at least the 1970s, the idea gained popularity in 1992 when a group of Bay Area Natives pushed back on a planned reenactment of Columbus's arrival. (3/11)
