The Native Voices Anthology is now available for pre-order. It is coming out this summer. I’m one of 38 authors represented. My play “A Time For Dolls” will be included. It’s a coming of age story about a young Inuk and her mother.

Post I made on this date in 2020: Rubber bullets don’t sound all that bad. They sound like toy versions of bullets. But they can remove all the flesh right down to a bone. They can shatter bones and remove eyes. They kill. And the RCMP and OPP have no compunction against shooting at us.

Not long ago, the OPP drew firearms on people at 1492 Land Back Lane in another act of terrorism against Indigenous people. They fired at women, including an elder, who were sitting outside the so-called exclusion zone.

And then they got inside their squad car and filmed the reactions. I am certain this was an intentional act of provocation. It finally worked. It elicited the violent reaction they’ve been hoping for all along. Two people attacked the squad car, and the OPP got that part on film and used it to say this was an unprovoked attack.

Give me a break. If someone were to draw a gun on your mom or grandma, I’m willing to bet it would elicit a reaction from you, too. For many of you, it would be violent.

These folks who attacked the car were trying to make the cops leave. I’ve seen video from the other side. They were trying to make the cops leave.

As someone who recently stopped cops from hurting a woman, I understand their rage.

This is continued genocide. Do not let it slide. Do not let the cops control the narrative. #ReconciliationIsALie #HaldimandTract #ProtectTheTract #IndigenousMastodon #OPP #AbolishThePolice #1492LandBackLane

Music doesn't get any cooler than Tanya Tagaq #JustSayin

Tongues, addresses the subjugation of Canada's Indigenous peoples. The album's eponymous single, she said, is about language loss, a cultural theft enacted through the country's so-called residential schools.
