‘How many more people have to die at the hands of your police?' Martha Martin, mother of Chantel Moore and Mike Martin, asks Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to meet with families and make changes to stop more deaths of Indigenous Peoples while interacting with police.

Can you solve today's easy brain teaser?

In Ojibwe our word for warrior is ogichitaa (pronounced o-gi-chi-taa). We will remember them- two of Canada’s most decorated war heros.

Am honoured to be in Winnipeg for the memorial for Justice Murray Sinclair, one of the greatest changemakers of our time 🙏🏽

Another video that needs to be shared. Amazing tribute to the late Murray Sinclair. @Niigaanwewidam you show so much grace and power when speaking about your father.

Today is Indigenous Veterans Day. To all Indigenous veterans, and those currently serving, thank you for your contributions and sacrifice. Yesterday I spoke to honour Indigenous veterans in Kiiwetinoong and in other places. Meegwetch for watching.

Today is Indigenous Veterans’ Day. Gilakas’la for your strength, service & sacrifice. We will remember.🙏🏽❤️#LestWeForget

It’s time to support the UN. We have witnessed an unprecedented attack on the UN by Israel’s far right government. And where is Canada? Canadians must be a voice in support of the UN, multilateralism, take concrete action to stop the genocide and build peace.

Indigenous Peoples and #Canada have lost a champion. The #NFB mourns the passing of @Sensincmurr (1951-2024), former Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. His determination, wisdom & kindness will always be remembered → bit.ly/HtSMSdoc

It saddens me to learn of a hero, a legend, world changer Justice Murray Sinclair’s passing. As the first Indigenous judge appointed in Manitoba and chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), he fundamentally changed how Canada confronts its history of residential schools and Indigenous relations. Justice Sinclair led the historic TRC from 2009 to 2015, documenting the devastating impact of residential schools by gathering testimony from over 6,500 survivors. His work brought previously silenced voices to the forefront of Canadian consciousness and resulted in 94 Calls to Action that continue to shape Canada’s path toward reconciliation. Beyond the TRC, his achievements were remarkable - from his groundbreaking appointment to the bench in 1988 to serving as a respected Senator from 2016-2021. He conducted important inquiries into Indigenous healthcare and justice systems in Manitoba, consistently advocating for systemic change with wisdom, dignity and determination. A respected Ojibwe leader and mentor, Justice Sinclair helped countless Canadians understand that reconciliation is not just about acknowledging the past, but about creating a better future together. His legacy lives on in Canada’s ongoing journey toward truth, healing and meaningful reconciliation. Chi-miigwech, Justice Sinclair, for your transformative leadership and unwavering commitment to justice. My loving condolences to his family as they bid goodbye 🪶 📸 Justin Tang Canadian Press

That this even needs to be said speaks to the failure of the world leadership at this dark time.

For generations, the child welfare system harmed and traumatized Inuit children. Today is a turning point. We just signed an agreement restoring the inherent right of Inuit families to care for their children — a right that should have never been taken away in the first place.

Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the survivors of residential schools and remember the children who never came home. This day is a reminder of the painful legacy Canada left behind, but also a call to action. 🧡

The troubled relationship between Canadian police forces and Indigenous Peoples is not new. But, it’s barrelling out of control.

The 15-year-old boy from Samson Cree Nation who was shot and killed by RCMP Friday morning in Wetaskiwin, AB was Hoss Lightning. His maternal grandmother sent me this photo taken of him earlier this year (he’s asking his grandmother if he looks like his late grandfather in the photo he’s holding). He was loved and cherished by his family who are devastated. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team is investigating. RCMP have told media Hoss had weapons on him (although anything could be considered a weapon and RCMP have not released details). Hoss had called 911 about an hour before he was killed because he was concerned for his safety and believed someone was following him. A kid. Alone walking around town. His life snuffed out like countless other Indigenous Peoples who are the victims of the highest police violence in Canada.

@OGdukeneurosurg It's not a tumou-ah 🤣

What is this ones pathology?
