This is powerful. Especially for all those who recently attended the Texts for Transformation workshop with @TC2thinks @IndigoLOR & @FacingCanada. Thank you @ltldrum for sharing your wisdom about how to talk to our young learners about residential schools and recommended authors.

Thank you Alicia Elliot @WordsandGuitar for this. While reading and learning about this horrific legacy, as settlers we must also act in a myriad of ways. Amplify, educate, pressure, donate. Consider supporting Indian Residential Schools Survivors Society irsss.ca/home
Alicia Elliott - AND THEN SHE FELL out now!@WordsandGuitar
In light of the finding of 215 Indigenous babies on the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School, I wrote for @washingtonpost about the racist legacy of these schools - one that continues to this day with the current Trudeau government. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

Thank you for this @luudisk. As settlers, me and my children are sad and angry and frustrated. We send our condolences and mourn along side but also we will also continue to do the work of learning from and amplifying Indigenous voices.
