Philosophical question of the day:
Yesterday I saw a non-Indigenous woman with a huge tattoo, of a stereotypical noble Indian Chief complete with an elaborate warrior bonnet, going down her arm.
Does this count as cultural appropriation?

@AnikaCheyenne @TanyaTalaga I think a lot of people believe we deserved to be mistreated. lm

@HelenPelletier6 @christibelcourt @darrenlentz1 @RMComedy @FortFrancesOnt @AlyssaLentz10 Do not forget to put up a plaque saying how long we had to live with this insult. Further do not forget none of our old roads are ours anymore.

@TheDHTaylor Lol. My sister took a Spanish course and her relatives said “good, maybe now we can communicate with our band members!”
Penticton is diverse.

I would like to officially complain about the lack of diversity on my Reserve’s Band Council…

@christibelcourt I love your counting the dots - real artists are petty, but their kindness leads them to count dots and not the number times someone annoyed them! Greatness comes of it!

@SeanCarleton Apologies require restitution, return the land and ante up for the cost of restoring language and culture!

If you're a settler feeling lost as to where to "start" to learn more about residential schooling, I'm a non-Indigenous historian of the system. To help play my role, I'm making myself available to field your questions and to provide accessible resources etc. Hit me up.

@justicedanielh I am with you Daniel. Kamloops is the beginning of the waves of death for our children and the shrinking of our lineages. This is how they controlled our population.

Just in case my position is not crystal clear: FREE PALESTINE YOU COLONIZING COWARDS

Do you who I really think is behind this whole policing of First Nations and Metis identity!?
Big Indigena!
It's them who are controlling everything!

We took the kids on a long drive this afternoon. With about a half hour to go, they decided they weren't into it, and screamed the whole way home. Now my ears are ringing like the time I forgot to bring earplugs to a Queens of the Stone Age show at Lee's Palace.

Well deserved recognition going to David Nahwegahbow from his peers. He has been helping to lead the Restoule case against Ontario, Canada. Miigwetch for all you do. 👏🏽
