Meanwhile, in #Canada...

From 2023: #TwoSpirit organization funded to build first transitional housing project in #HalifaxNovaScotia

Sara Gouda - CKDU - Halifax • NS | 06-04-2023

"The #WabanakiTwoSpiritAlliance has received government funding to build and manage the first two-spirit transitional housing project in Halifax.

"'It is the first housing to be built for two-spirit people, but I can tell you, it won't be the last,' said Tuma Young, two-spirit Mi'kmaw lawyer from #Membertou and co-founder of the Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance.

"Two-spirit, a term coined back in the late 1980s, is used to describe #LGBTQ+ plus members who are #Indigenous.

"'The priority is for Two-spirit people. I'm not at liberty to say how much funding we received because the details are still being worked out. We are building a transitional home that's between six and eight units,' said Young.

"The new housing development is part of Canada's National Housing Strategy. Young said that ensuring housing is a major issue due to policy issues, jurisdictional issues, and funding issues.

"The new project will take about six months to a year to develop and operate, and Young said that the alliance is still looking for land to build its units on.

"'As the organization's other co-founder mentioned, the irony doesn't escape me that we're asking for land.'

"Young hopes they will be able to build their first transitional project for Two-spirit people in Halifax, but if no land is available, the project would be in nearby areas such as Dartmouth, Sackville, Hammonds Plains or Eastern Passage.

"'Housing is such a major issue, we're also looking at some #SeniorHousing for LGBTQ+ folks. I'm also looking towards the future of housing and how we can get housing in reserves where I know a lot of two-spirited people without access because they were never even placed on the housing allocation list,' said Young.

"Young said that housing options often go to families, while two-spirit people are often single or don't have children, and that the real culprit is not the allocation of resources but the fact that more resources are required to provide housing for all in need.

"'For example, per community, they may get about 10 houses per year, but the need is actually 400. So with those 10 houses, people have to pick a priority of who will get them. And for a lot of two-spirit people, they will never be able to be on their priority list because there'll always be somebody who will need a house more,' said Young.

"Better ways to delegate resources among the #FirstNations communities would be to collaborate with all three levels of government, to identify housing as a priority and find ways to allocate limited resources, according to Young.

"'When housing is done properly, fairly, equally, and #equitably, then everybody gets a chance at housing,' said Young."

A #CulturalReclamation is underway in the #Mikmaw community of #Sipeknekatik in what we now call #NovaScotia. The #FirstNation is situated just eight kilometres from the site of the former #Shubenacadie Indian #ResidentialSchool. The #IndianDaySchools operated on the reserve from 1894 to1996. During centralization in the 1940s, the federal government #ForciblyRelocated many #Mikmaq from around Nova Scotia to two reserves, one of which was Sipekne’katik.

Together, these #colonial policies tried to strip Mi’kmaq of connection to land, language, culture & dentity. But the Mi’kmaq are still here, still strong.

#StudentJournalists in the Reporting in Mi’kma’ki course – a collaboration between the University of King’s College & Nova Scotia Community College – headed to Sipekne’katik to learn more.

They met #community members who shared their time & expertise to pass on teachings, from ribbon skirts to medicines to culture & language in the classroom.

Tweten is of #Cree ancestry and now lives on #PEI working on the PEI #ForestedLandscape Priority Place project as a #Mikmaw engagement co-ordinator.
The project #protects #SpeciesAtRisk & their #habitats & while it's hard to know how many #BlackAsh #trees are left on the Island, Tweten said 450 is a good guess.

#Activists & #advocates gathered in downtown #Halifax Tuesday afternoon to call for an overhaul of the #JusticeSystem to improve its treatment of #IndigenousPeople & to #honour the #memories of #Indigenous people who #died in provincial custody.
The crowd marched from the Peace & Friendship Park to the #HalifaxCentralLibrary holding signs that read "Real Justice Doesn't Kill People" & "Say Their Names."

A #pilot #forestry project that puts some of #NovaScotia 's #forest lands in the care of #Mikmaw communities could be extended.

Over the last 4 yrs, the #confederacy of Mainland #Mikmaq , the #Unamaki Institute of #NaturalResources & the #KwilmukwMawklusaqn, also known as the #MikmaqRightsInitiative - managed 30,000 hectares of #CrownLand using Mi'kmaw foresty practices.
