A new poem of mine went live today. https://wordflowerpoetry.com/2026/02/08/i-am-pretty-sure-those-are-the-same-cops-i-saw-dragging-a-disabled-woman-across-the-pavement-by-her-dislocated-arm-a-few-years-ago/ #poetry #poem #PoetryCommunity #OrangeShirtDay #TruthAndReconciliation #ACAB @indigenousauthors

The Waterloo police are all over social media saying how they have an orange squad car to spread awareness about truth and reconciliation. Truth is, I did not go to the event today because their presence disturbs me.
Last year, when I did go, the cops were the very first people thanked for being there. It felt like a gut punch. This is not ok. The police do not make me feel safe. They make me go into high-alert mode.
A few years ago, I stopped three Waterloo police officers from abusing a disabled woman. I heard screams for help and came running only to find them dragging her across the parking lot of the police station. She was not violent. She was not resisting. She was being assaulted. Her shirt was half off and her shoulder was dislocated. I didn't know what to do, but got out my phone to record. They let go of her as soon as they saw me with my phone. I stayed there until the woman got away. I made sure she was safe, and then I left, never turning my back on them.
The same year, an elder I know at Six Nations texted me in a panic because police were shooting at her and other Indigenous women with baton rounds.
Police presence at Indigenous events is not reconciliation. It is a threat dressed up as a photo op. It is a reminder of how police were integral to Indigenous children being stolen and placed in residential "schools."

What was beautiful is that our prayer gathering place and time coincided with an #OrangeShirtDay motorcycle ride and we had about 20 indigenous motorcycle riders join our circle of 20 church goers for reflection and sharing as we ended our gathering. And we prayed a blessing over their ride.
And to one-up this already unexpected addition to our humble prayer gathering - among us was also a national celebrity. Phyllis, a residential school survivor who started Orange Shirt day in 2013 joined our circle. An unexpected family situation brought her to Kamloops (instead of her planned Manitoba event) and she heard about the motorcycle ride and came to their pre-gathering.
So our prayer meeting was crashed by motorcycle riders, and then crashed by the woman who started this whole day of memorial.
Connections were made. #Reconciliation at work.

Loved to see the short interviews between my friends and survivors, #vivketchum and #grammashingoose.
#truthandreconciliation is more than just one day to remember the atrocities of #residentialschools. It's a reminder that we need to remember every day, we need to look after and honour the #survivors, and to ensure that this never happens again.

#Toronto: Why Canadian #Indigenous Filmmakers Are Having a Moment
With eight films in the TIFF lineup, industry leaders say a years-in-the-making initiative to advance #FirstNations creative is paying off.
September 6, 2025
"Canadian indigenous filmmakers are having a moment at the #TorontoFilmFestival this year, with eight features in the official lineup.
"That has #EvaThomas, a writer and filmmaker from #WalpoleIslandFirstNation, busily working the room during an #IndigenousScreenOffice (ISO) breakfast at TIFF‘s Lightbox headquarters. The goal is drumming up buzz for the world premiere of her feminist crime thriller #Nika&Madison on Sunday night.
"Ahead of the Toronto premiere, Thomas and her team have plastered downtown Toronto with 'Wanted' posters from a fictional #WyandotCounty Police with the faces of #NikaAndMadison, two young indigenous women played in the feature by Ellyn Jade and Star Slade and who are forced on the run after a violent encounter with a predatory cop.
"Crucially, Nika & Madison has financing from the ISO, Canada’s film financier for First Nations storytellers like Thomas. 'Money is fundamental to the process and being able to have the support of the ISO means we have a record number of indigenous features at TIFF,' Thomas tells The Hollywood Reporter.
"Besides Nika & Madison, the official Toronto fest lineup includes mostly world premieres for #ShaneBelcourt & #TanyaTalaga’s #NiNaadamaadiz: #RedPowerRising; #BrettenHannam’s Sk+te’kmujue’katik (At the Place of Ghosts); #TashaHubbard’s Meadowlarks; #ZachariasKunuk’s #Uiksaringitara (Wrong Husband); #GailMaurice’s Blood Lines; #DarleneNaponse’s Aki; and #RhayneVermette’s Levers.
"Kerry Swanson, CEO of the ISO, says indigenous filmmakers were doing a lot with little financing for decades. That’s before, in recent years, the Canadian government steered dedicated funding to support First Nations creative talent.
"The federal government financing, in part, supports efforts towards #reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous Canadians after historical #racism and #injustices. But Swanson and indigenous filmmakers are mindful that financing currently directed at them can always be taken away if the country’s political winds blow elsewhere.
" 'We can never stop fighting, not just to grow our funding, but to maintain the funding that we have in the face of cuts, in the face of this backlash against inclusive programs and funding initiatives. We’re very aware of that,' Swanson argues."

U.S. Interior Report Fails to Reveal Thousands of Deaths of Native Children in 'Prison Camps' -- U.S. Boarding Schools
'Run, run as fast as you can'
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 13, 2025
"Thousands of #NativeChildren died in U.S. boarding schools that were not reported by the U.S. Interior Department in its report, the Washington Post reveals. Suffering from malnutrition, diseases and abuse, the largest number of unreported children's deaths were at Chemawa Indian Training School in Oregon, followed by Haskell Indian Industrial School in Kansas. The largest total number of deaths were at Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania.
"The U.S. Interior reported only 12 deaths at Rapid City Indian Boarding School in South Dakota. However, The Washington Post reveals there were 45 children that died there. At the #PineRidgeBoardingSchool, the Interior reported only 4 children died, when there are 10 documented deaths of children.
"At #SaintLabre Indian Mission Boarding School in Montana, the Interior reported only one child died. However, thirty-three children are documented as dying there. The same #CatholicBoardingSchool was successfully sued by the Northern Cheyenne Nation for exploiting children in fundraising scams and funneling millions to the Catholic Church.
"The year-long investigation by The Washington Post documented that 3,104 students died at boarding schools between 1828 and 1970 -- three times as many deaths as reported by the U.S. Interior Department. The actual number of deaths could be as high as 40,000, since deaths of children in unmarked graves were either never reported or the records were destroyed."
