Saugeen First Nation in Ontario joined together for some sun and sand to celebrate getting their beach back. The fight to be recognized as the rightful owners of a popular beach ended a month ago after the Supreme Court refused to hear a case against them.

The Sixties Scoop took over 11,000 Indigenous children from their homes to live with non-Indigenous families from 1960–1990. Saskatchewan piloted a program called AIM, the Adopt Indian and Métis Project. Folk musician Raven Reid was adopted as part of AIM.

Join me for a special announcement this Wednesday at 5pm at Maffeo Sutton Park in Nanaimo, BC.

If we value our heritage in B.C., we need to update the legal framework thoughtfully, without fear or alarm, and work on what that looks like. Judith Sayers writes. #bcpoli

The B.C. Conservatives are again dealing with controversial comments perpetuating residential school denialism, this time from a high-profile staffer who had a key role in shaping the party. #bcpoli

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

Two Indigenous women say the growing spread of residential school denialism is the reason they a wrote a book on the subject. Decolonization and Me was released by Phyllis Webstad, who started Orange Shirt Day, and Métis scholar Kristy McLeod.

B.C. just approved one of its largest LNG projects yet. Ksi Lisims LNG will ship 12M tonnes of gas a year overseas. Ministers say it will benefit the Nisg̱a’a Nation — but also admit it will worsen greenhouse gas emissions. #bcpoli

Look at this distinguished gentleman

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. One person lost to suicide is too many. Did you know that Indigenous People are 3x times more likely to attempt suicide, and Indigenous youth and adoptees are even more at risk? Culture is healing - there is hope 🙌💜 #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

#communitycare is suicide prevention 🥚

Saugeen First Nation's fight to be recognized as the rightful owner of a popular tourist destination in Ontario has ended. Two years ago, they won the battle at the Ontario Court of Appeal and last week the Supreme Court of Canada upheld that decision.

Wtg @michaelmoseswl.bsky.social ! Exciting news 🙌

Liberals = anti-worker, pro-corporation elite. Ew.

It is a crisis, particularly for Indigenous youth and adoptees 🥚 Culture is suicide prevention. GBI is suicide prevention. Housing is suicide prevention. #CommunityCare is how we're going to heal

I hope when Kevin Costner dies his obituary identifies him as “American Actor Who Portrayed White Characters”

The Canadian labour movement has had a rough year. But Lucy Everett — who has worked for three B.C. unions and has represented workers in newly certified bargaining units who were negotiating their first agreement — is optimistic. #canlab

Update to the story from yesterday. The province of Manitoba needs to level up and provide support for #SixtiesScoop Survivors and our families to begin healing. youtu.be/ZEnDM0VjiE0?...

I am happy for the family and for raising awareness of the #SixtiesScoop! However, these kinds of blissful reunions are not the norm - trauma runs deep. We need support for successful reunification and reconnection to community. 🥚

"After a nearly three-year investigation, the commission concluded in March that the state [South Korea] bears responsibility for facilitating an adoption program rife with fraud and abuse, driven by efforts to reduce welfare costs". 🥚 www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Chiefs in Ontario call out governments for rushing development while clean water and housing still lacking www.aptnnews.ca?p=275606

This exclusionary policy of the Indian Act is compounded for adoptees and children who have been forcibly removed. We have long been advocating for a reunification unit - not just for families, but to reunify our nations and communities 🥚

"Adoption essentially always begins with a tragedy" And trauma. Always trauma. Forced birth is not the answer.

Last week I spoke to Alex Karpa about Tanya Nepinak and the need to #searchthelandfill. No one's final resting place should be a garbage dump. share.google/8BRj5frlIXao...

I think if they asked more than 3% of Indigenous Peoples, they would likely get a different outcome.

I feel this. I have never seen or talked to my bio father ever. He and my bio mother died when I was about 11, along with my birth story. HFD!🥚

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

The Border Patrol can go fuck themselves as well.🖕

A northern Ontario city is taking a step toward reconciliation. The City of Sault Ste. Marie has hired its first Indigenous policy advisor, who will be responsible for educating city staff and guiding the development of programs and services.

"The rescue narrative — civilized West, backward East — distorts a great deal." I wasn't rescued, I was taken, and the united church is complicit in its role of human trafficking. 🥚 #sixtiesscoop #interracialadoption

“When you are stuck in a place that you don’t want to be and you are not allowed to go home, you do feel like a prisoner,” said [adopter] Jim Bodden. You don't say...says every adopted child ever. 🥚 globalnews.ca/news/1119785...

Why would they? The treaties have not been upheld in over 150 years. Imagine if we took all the money spent on this little trip and supported Elders, children, and families 🤷‍♀️

Adoption is an Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) and must be treated as one. #AdopteeSky #Mentalhealthawarenessmonth #suicide #socialworker
