@marceljfugere J'aimerais mieux comprendre le choix de l'utilisation de la nomenclature Makwanini. Est-ce en lien avec le terme Magoua?

@Abitawiskwe Certainement, il y a encore des aspects culturels toujours mesurables dans notre société contemporaine actuelle malgré les années d'effort d'atténuation gouvernementale. Cependant, la fragilité y est présente.

Also: are they correct? (Makwanini Nation does not exist!)

🧾 10 years ago, the Daniels Decision confirmed Métis and Non-Status First Nations peoples under Section 91(24). ⚖️Recognition happened -implementation hasn’t. A decade later, many still face barriers to services. Recognition must lead to real action. 👉cap-daniels-summit.ca

@marceljfugere En effet, les descendants des Algonquins des Trois-Rivières y sont toujours présens. Cependant, a-t'il quelconque évidence de l'utilisation historique de Makwanini, ou est-ce une dénomination moderne?

@Abitawiskwe Pourtant, j'existe...

Trudeau is finished - a PM who only helped people when forced to by the NDP. But we know Poilievre will be a disaster. We can't let that happen. It's clear from his interview with hatemonger Jordan Peterson, he won't be hiding his far-right anti-worker agenda.

A gentle reminder: you can believe that someone was not an effective leader and also believe the other options available aren’t better. Trudeau has his faults. My criticism is well documented. But the prospect of PP in the PM role is concerning especially for marginalized folx.

@marceljfugere Je cherchais quelconque citation pouvant être utilisée pour étayer l'affirmation que la région fût jadis connue comme territoire "Makwanini". Je n'ai rien trouvé.

@Abitawiskwe Sources d'évidences ?

I've notified the team behind native-land.ca there is a mistake on their territorial map in the area around Trois-Rivières - still unceded, but acknowledged as Nitaskinan, Atikamekw Nation territory. Can you please help me report this?

@AptoziJay Happy New Year! bsky.app/profile/padogi…

@Abitawiskwe Tried searching you but nothing came up.

I'm not posting here anymore, but I'm happy to retweet/re-x (🙄)

Sheshatshiu & Mushuau Innu First Nations were only recognized in 2002 & Miawpukek Mi'kmaq First Nation was only recognized in 1987. Of all 4 of Newfoundland mainland First Nations, only Qalipu First Nation members get called out as Pretendians. Can anyone explain?

@jrolando66 @Bloomex_canada Awful client service; the lady sounded like she was dying.

@Abitawiskwe @Bloomex_canada Tried to send flowers for Mother’s Day years ago and they didn’t arrive, everyday call centre said they’re on way, 10 days later were delivered. Disputed the charges and never again

.@Bloomex_canada order from December 18th with delivery December 24th still stuck in "packaging" without any explanation? Totally unacceptable.

This #HumanRightsDay CAP National Chief Moore participated in the European Union’s Human Rights Day Roundtable, in the Indigenous Perspectives panel. He spoke about the importance of implementing #UNDRIP in Canada, and recognizing the rights of CAP’s communities.

Women must not feel required to make themselves smaller for the sake of propriety when those expectations harm not only themselves but community as well.

S’il y a quelqu’un qui sourit de l’au-delà comme le suggérait le président de la MMF lors de son allocution, ce serait bien Sir John Christian Schultz plutôt que Louis Riel. Pour Riel, le statut d’égalité du Français au Manitoba était central à ses valeurs et à ses revendications

@itskittydiamond I believe it's from an early 1900s report prepared for the government.

@Abitawiskwe where is this from?? ik a lot of anglo-descent métis who are hella native so idk what this is

"The English half-breeds did not occupy the intermediate position of the French Métis. They were committed to European civilization from the beginning. Their descendants have entirely merged into the European group." Yet today, French Métis are now referred as raceshifters.
