    LeMay's work for the indigenous in Canada is well known, but this year's book helps Canadians (& US folks!) understand what reconciliation means & what allyship looks like. It begins simply: learn and engage.

  2. I went for a 4 km walk today. I had more energy than I did yesterday, thankfully. However, I am starting to have hot flashes again. What gives?

    Tomorrow morning, I plan on wearing my orange shirt and joining the #EveryChildMatters walk. I hope my body cooperates. I still want to know why Truth and Reconciliation Day is only a holiday for bankers and politicians. A lot of Indigenous people can't participate because they don't get the day off. Hardly seems reconciliatory, does it?

  3. We will be showing all of our ribbon skirts, along with past ribbon skirt workshop participants, at the joint #TruthAndReconciliation special evening event, co-hosted by #SNIWWOC & #KWENCH on September 30th.

    Event Info:

    SNIWWOC will be hosting our annual Truth and Reconciliation event at KWENCH bringing #community members together for an evening of #education, #togetherness, and #remembrance for Truth and Reconciliation in #VictoriaBC on September 30th 2024, 5:30-7:30pm PST.

    #JoinUs to learn about the sacred #Indigenous practice of #RibbonSkirt making and the significance it holds within the Indigenous community. You will have the unique opportunity to view these beautiful skirts made by BC Indigenous/Indigenous BIPOC individuals, and learn about the importance of continuing these traditions.

    You will also have the privilege to #WitnessTestimony from #ResidentialSchoolSurvivors, the ones who did not make it as well as for honoring all #IndigenousCommunities.

    Truth and Reconciliation, also known as #OrangeShirtDay, is a reminder of what was done in #Canadian history that impacted the #IndigenousPeople, and continues to impact generations of Indigenous communities. On this day we highlight how the conversation needs to be continued as a step for #healing and #reconciliation.

    SNIWWOC would like to take this time and day to #honor the people and their #culture that was lost. You will hear from a variety of #IndigenousSpeakers, #CommunityElders, and be witness to #SacredKnowledge, in the #SafeSpace that we will hold for all that would like to be part of this experience.

    We are looking forward to seeing everyone, celebrating and giving a voice for those who could not. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided!

  4. CW: The article contains disturbing child abuse, resulting in death. #TriggerWarning.

    The placement was approved by both #BritishColumbia Ministry of #Children & Family Development & the family serviceโ€™s department of the boyโ€™s First Nation, but the report says the ministry did not complete #BackgroundChecks or visit the home before the siblings were moved there.

    Charlesworth said the lack of communication, #DueDiligence & #DueProcess would โ€œprove to be a massive errorโ€ because those in charge of the boyโ€™s safety could have learned the woman had prior involvement with the ministry over physical #abuse of her child & there were documented concerns about her partnerโ€™s โ€œconduct with children.โ€
