@Puglaas @Korywilson My sincere condolences to all family members and friends.

Our beautiful beloved father, grandfather, husband to Bev, and Hereditary Chief, Hemas Kla-Lee-Lee-Kla (Bill Wilson), passed away tonight surrounded by love and this glorious sunset…(1/2)

@princepolity My warm congratulations Michael!

I have been on this journey learning from, and working with so many amazing people in community living and other social movements. Thank you.

@PWB_writer1 Wishing you a speedy recovery! Take care!

Hello Twitter friends. I'll be absent for a time. On Thurs I undergo knee-replacement surgery & that will put me out of commission for a while. I'll return when I feel up to it but probably not for long because, as you know, I'm migrating to the Blue Place. Hope to see you there.

This year’s theme for #InternationalDayForTheEliminationofViolenceAgainstWomen, “Come Together, Act Now,” calls upon everyone to get involved to change attitudes and behaviours and learn about the signs of gender-based violence to stop it in its tracks. #16Days

A 17-year-old boy from the Norway House Cree Nation in northern Manitoba who died after he was shot by the RCMP has been identified as Elgyn Muskego. He is the 11th Indigenous person killed by police in Canada since August. youtu.be/fc1TP7zsmdU

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. NWAC supports #16DaysofActivism (Nov 25 - Dec 10) with the theme: “Every 10 Minutes, a woman is killed. #NoExcuse.” Let’s amplify the voices in our communities and demand accountability to end violence.

Rest in peace, dear colleague and friend, #MurraySinclair. My sincere condolences to your family and friends.

@PWB_writer1 Congratulations!

@TanyaTalaga Great article! Again!

We don’t get here from nowhere. When did the “othering” of Indigenous People begin? We never talk about the caste system in Canada but it was baked into Canada’s foundation. This essay on the Unfreedom of Indigenous People is fromThe Knowing, my new book. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

@TanyaTalaga Another excellent article! This isn’t just an application destruction of exhibits. It is also an application to deny that the lost women lived, loved and are still loved.

The RCMP is looking to destroy approximately 14,000 pieces of evidence that could be connected to the disappearance of at least 65 women, most of them Indigenous, in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside between 1978 and 2001. 1/2 theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

@TheDHTaylor Barely survived the 70’s! It was a tumultuous decade in so many ways!

Did anybody else survive the 1970’s?

I extend my love to the families of the known victims of #RobertPickton. Your courage and steadfast commitment to justice changed history. My love, also, to those who will never have answers about their lost loved ones. May you find peace. With you all in spirit.

With the passing of #RobertPickton my heart goes out to those who will never know the truth about the passing of their loved one.

The First Nations and Inuit Policing Program was created in 1991. We last audited this program in 2014 and again this time, we found critical shortcomings in how it is being managed. Read the report: ow.ly/wj8I50RtGgO #CdnPoli

#RedDressDay is a day of quiet reflection for me. I remember, with gratitude, the families and survivors who shared their truths at the #NationalInquiry #MMIWG2S. I reflect on the remarkable NI staff, my colleagues and our Grandmothers. Change is happening, but too slowly.

@AngelaSterritt Well stated. Thanks.

The colonial hangover of systemic anti-Indigenous female violence means we live in fear when we or our daughters,sisters,aunties, mothers,grandmothers leave the house, we might not make it home. The darker our skin, the deeper the racism & the more vulnerable we are to violence
