  1. My personal #books #ReadingGoal this year is to find & read every book that Richard Wagamese wrote. I have read 3 of his books so far & loved them. He's one of my fave #Indigenous authors in #Canada.

    Richard Wagamese was one of Canada’s foremost #IndigenousAuthors & esteemed public speaker & #storyteller. A professional writer since 1979, he was a newspaper columnist & reporter, radio & television broadcaster & producer, documentary producer & author of 14 titles from various #Canadian publishers.

    He was a success in every genre of writing he tried. An #Ojibway from the #Wabaseemoong #FirstNation in Northwestern #Ontario, he became the first #NativeCanadian to win a National Newspaper Award for Column Writing in 1991. He won the Alberta Writers Guild Best Novel Award for his debut novel, Keeper’n Me in 1994 & the Canadian Authors Association Award for Fiction for his third novel Dream Wheels, in 2007. One Native Life was one of The Globe & Mail’s 100 Best Books of 2008 & One Story, One Song was awarded the George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature in 2011.

    Indian Horse, the feature film, is based on his book of the same title.

    If you haven't read any of his books yet, I highly recommend finding them at your local library 👍📚

  6. #EagleLakeFirstNation challenges #NWMO in court

    By Mike Stimpson, 2 January 2025

    EAGLE LAKE – "#EagleLake #FirstNation is challenging the #NuclearWasteManagementOrganization’s site selection in court, and that’s more than welcome news to Neecha Dupuis.

    "'I love it,' Dupuis, a member of the #Ojibway Nation of #Saugeen (#SavantLake), said from Ottawa. 'Just pure love.'

    "Eagle Lake’s chief 'came and walked with us' in this year’s #WalkAgainstNuclearWaste, she noted.

    "'It’s all coming together, like one giant dream catcher,' Dupuis said.

    "Dupuis said she doesn’t understand #WabigoonLakeOjibway Nation’s decision to move forward with the NWMO on possibly constructing a deep geological repository, or DGR, for high-level nuclear waste.

    "'For them to choose nuclear waste over the land, that doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense at all.'"

  11. The growing movement of #Indigenous leaders across #NorthernOntario opposing #NuclearWaste dump

    'We live off the land every day. It’s the most precious food market we have in the world'

    October 3, 2024
    Jon Thompson

    "#FirstNations opposing nuclear waste burial in northwestern Ontario are growing in number and are now mobilizing across the region.

    "A fledgling movement of Indigenous leaders hosted a small rally with non-Indigenous allies in #ThunderBay on Wednesday, with a refrain of 'Gaa-Wiin,' the #Anishinaabemowin word meaning 'no' to nuclear waste burial.

    "The demonstration followed a letter signed by nine chiefs last week, asking the Nuclear Waste Management Organization to respect their will not to bury Canada’s most #radioactive nuclear waste in a #DeepRepository site between the town of #Ignace and #WabigoonLake #Ojibway First Nation.

    "The #NWMO is expected to issue a final decision by year’s end as to whether it will transport used #NuclearFuel, produced since the 1960s, by either train or highway over 1,600 kilometres to a deep geological repository. If the Ignace is chosen over Bruce County, where nuclear energy and its waste is produced, transportation would begin in the 2040s and will take 40 years to complete.

    "Although the site selection process has been underway for 20 years, the looming final decision has prompted political actions, including a larger #ThunderBay demonstration in April and a march last month along the highway near the proposed site.

    "'I don’t know why some people just don’t understand,' Asubpeeschoseewagong #Anishinabek (#GrassyNarrows First Nation) #ChiefRudyTurtle told the crowd of around 300 people. 'It’s so simple: no means no. That’s all it is. Why can’t you understand that? We are saying no, we don’t want nuclear waste.'"

    "Thirteen First Nations have now signed on to last week’s statement opposing the repository, including #NorthwestAngle #33, whose leadership committed to the cause on Wednesday. Signatories include #FortWilliamFirstNation, #Gakijiwanong #Anishinaabe (#LacLaCroix First Nation), #GullBayFirstNation, #Kitchenuhmaykoosib #Inninuwug (#BigTroutLake First Nation), #MuskratDam First Nation, #Neskantaga First Nation, #NetmizaaggamigNishnaabeg (Pic Mobert First Nation), #Ojibways of #Onigaming, #ShoalLake #40 First Nation, #Wapekeka First Nation, #WauzhushkOnigum Nation."

  21. #Ignace council votes in favour of potential #NuclearWaste repository

    Ignace is one of two potential locations being considered by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization

    Kris Ketonen · CBC News · Posted: Jul 10, 2024

    "The Township of Ignace noted in its release that #WabigoonLake #OjibwayNation (#WLON) will hold its own willingness process, and Ignace respects that WLON's support will also be required if the repository is to be built in the area.

    "Whichever municipality ends up being chosen, the site won't be operational for some time; construction is expected to start in 2033, and the site would be up and running by the early 2040s.

    "The proposed northwestern #Ontario #nuclear waste repository has received pushback from regional organizations and #Indigenous communities.

    "In a media release issued Wednesday afternoon, We the #NuclearFreeNorth said the decision should be a regional one.

    "'The #NWMO has deemed Ignace to be the 'host community,' despite Ignace's distance from the site, lack of jurisdiction, and the presence of other communities closer to the site and #downstream,' the media release stated."

  24. #Ignace council votes in favour of potential #NuclearWaste repository

    Ignace is one of two potential locations being considered by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization

    Kris Ketonen · CBC News · Posted: Jul 10, 2024

    "The Township of Ignace noted in its release that #WabigoonLake #OjibwayNation (#WLON) will hold its own willingness process, and Ignace respects that WLON's support will also be required if the repository is to be built in the area.

    "Whichever municipality ends up being chosen, the site won't be operational for some time; construction is expected to start in 2033, and the site would be up and running by the early 2040s.
