Recognition of a Palestinian state without meaningful action to stop the genocide taking place right now promises to be performative, at best—much like Canada's commitment to 'reconciliation' while it actively ignores and undermines its commitments to complete the TRC's 94 Calls to Action.

Through our 150 Acts of Reconciliation project, Crystal Fraser and I established the Gwiizii ts'àt gwitàatsàh scholarship for Indigenous students at @ualberta.bsky.social I just updated our website to feature more of our amazing award recipients - check it out! 150acts.weebly.com/award.html

Through my work at the NWT Art Centre Initiative, we hosted two public gatherings in June focussed on the history and legacy of Akaitcho Hall, a residential school in Yellowknife. Check out the amazing graphic recording of the events by Cody Fennel on our site: www.nwtartcentre.ca/akaitchohall...

Subarctic garden update 😍

Thanks @jdunkin.bsky.social! ❤️

From Lisa Fontaine’s Winyan (Dakota word for “woman”) at The Winnipeg Art Gallery until June 8. ‘Fontaine’s work centers and celebrates the beauty of Indigenous femininities as a resistance to heteropatriarchal and colonial practices.’ Stunning works.

Can't wait for North of North season 2!

It was pretty special to meet up with Agnes Pascal and contributors Allice Legat, Reuben Unka, and Jim Lynn at Yellowknife Books on launch day! Book of Hope is now available at your favourite bookseller or at @fernpub.bsky.social

It's May in the subarctic and we just had a winter storm. When warm weather comes, it'll be a fast transition to summer. ☀️

You know the Northern lights were popping when I could see them with my glasses off 🙃

Check out Dechinta's Superbloom anthology for creative work about art, community, and climate resilience (includes a contribution by me and lots of inspiring Northerners) www.dechinta.ca/superbloom

We got an old school bingo machine at the second hand store, and the kids are having a blast making their own cards to play with

So excited to see this beautiful project out in the world. Book of Hope will be available in April, but preorders are available now 🥰

As a therapist I worry about the way that current conceptualizations of mental health uphold the status quo by pathologizing individuals instead of viewing suffering as an inevitable consequence of our systems. Liberation psychology gestures towards the paradigm shift we need.

The cringe of a thousand serenades.

I just heard Jared Monkman on CBC North say it's going to be +5 in Fort Good Hope today. That's wild, it should be like -40 this time of year

I went to a very fun painting class last night at Saxifrage Studio. I love this corner with a little fried egg and a string of Les Thompson red devil lures, maybe?

Thanks for doing an update on our work, @cabinradio.ca

Love my fortune for today
