Today I am featuring a Trout Drum.
Fishing was an important means of survival for the Mi’kmaq people. It was important that fishermen were successful in their task for the survival of the community.
Have a Great Week-End!

I know the stats. Police kill Indigenous People at a higher rate than any other ethnic group in Canada. The jails are overflowing with Natives @ an alarmingly high rate. RCMP have lagged in investigating MMIWG cases. I’ve witnessed violence towards land defenders. I’ve had police lie to me in court documents & they were proved wrong. This was a stunning moment yesterday when RCMP arrested Uncle Rico carrying her body towards machinery that was coming to tear down the blockade she helped lead to save old growth forests. The army of cops, the helicopter & drones, machinery. Those scenes encompassed an extraordinary amount all in one.

Today’s drum features “The Turtle”.
The turtle is a sacred figure in Native American symbolism as it represents Mother Earth. The meaning of the Turtle symbol signifies good health and long life.

20 years ago today I was on the Rez when the lights went out. When they finally came back on the next day, we learned it was one of the biggest blackouts in history. And then back in the city a few days later, I thought, I wanna write about that someday en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northe…
