Alright friends, gentle reminder to be mindful with language. I’m seeing a lot of “our Indigenous” and “the Indigenous” and no word following it when referencing Indigenous folx as of late.
If you are not Indigenous yourself refrain from using “our”. It’s a possessive. /1

On Monday, when the sun is hot
I wonder to myself a lot:
“Now is it true, or is it not,
“That what is which and which is what?”
On Wednesday, when the sky is blue,
And I have nothing else to do,
I sometimes wonder if it’s true
That who is what and what is who.

Today is 10,025th day of boil water advisory for #Neskantaga. Community members are given 1.5 litres a day to bathe, drink, or cook. This pic was shared to me by the grandfather of the child who gets skin irritations using the community tap water. #boilwateradvisory #waterislife
