Finally things are moving ahead at "ground zero." I am glad to see Manitoba and the federal government working together which will result in a nationwide approach. We MUST all #implement #MMIWG2S Calls for Justice

We as Anishinabe people recognize that we are also a part of a Universal Family. We place great reverence upon our relationship with Grandmother Moon and Grandfather Sun. The Anishinaabemowin word for Solar Eclipse is “Aazowekidaadok Giizook” (sun and moon meet)🌙☀️

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Colonialism still affects Indigenous people within Canada’s justice systems, healthcare systems, and more. Together, we can stand up against racial discrimination, and hold these systems accountable.
We have a responsibility to protect mother earth. We all must work together. #recycle

“We know from the national inquiry into murdered and missing indigenous women and girls, calls for Justice 9.1 to 9.11 that current systems that are there to protect us aren’t. This is a critical initiative."
Thanks @LeahGazan

I am happy to see that the 2024 Arctic Winter Games was a success. I want to congratulate all athletes. As Nelson Mandela said “Sport has the power to change the world, it has the power to inspire.” cbc.ca/news/canada/north/arc…

Today we’re acknowledging all the Indigenous women who are not only inspiring inclusion, but demanding it. Together we must create a future where all people are treated as equals. Read @NWAC_President's statement on the 113th annual #InternationalWomenDay: bit.ly/437Ie30
#HappyInternationalWomansDay I want women and gender diverse people to feel loved and supported. Let us be rebels of the partiarchy and lift each other up. I will be spreading this message at the upcoming #CSW68 in NYC. #WomenSupportingWomen

Happy #PinkShirtDay! 👚 This day was born out of an act of kindness in 2007 and has grown to an international movement. At NWAC, we have zero tolerance for bullying and strive to help create a world that is more inclusive and accepting.
Today is national #HumanTraffickingAwarenessDay. I will be talking with Transportation Ministers and other Indigenous leaders today on the interconnectedness of that industry and #HumanTrafficking #EndHumanTrafficking #MMIWG2S
It’s Time to T.A.L.K.
#SexTrafficking is a serious issue happening in our country, yet 70% of Canadians have never had a conversation about it. Today, we’re launching a 4-step guide to help Canadians #EndHumanTrafficking.

My deepest condolences to the community and all loved ones who had five members taken from them much too soon.
Violence of this magnitude is incomprehensible.
I will not rest until concrete measures to end domestic violence are implemented.
