Too young. What awful news.

It was an honour to have spent time with Murray Sinclair. He will be remembered as one of the most influential people in the history of this country. The news of his death was shared when I was teaching Indigenous Peoples & Canadian History. We discussed his many contributions.

My dad was told he likely had prostate cancer for five years without knowing. When he found out, it was Stage 4 and terminal. He died a year later. My dad never went for a prostate exam. If you have a prostate and you’re over 45, book your exam. https://t.co/Mbcocog9JW

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with an estimated one in eight Canadian men expected to be diagnosed in their lifetimes. Experts say improved screening tools can help more accurat...

My grandmother was born 106 years ago today. I just received this letter about her. She lost her Indian Status between the 1930s and 1980s. Here, the federal government told her that she had then become “of white status.” Not language we often seen in historical documentation.

My thoughts are with the family of Murray Sinclair as he remains in the ICU receiving the care and support that he needs. Truly one of the most consequential people in our country.

A former student of federal Indian boarding schools in the U.S. says Joe Biden's rare presidential apology was long overdue. "They should have done it years ago," says 74-year-old Rosie Yellowhair.

BREAKING: President Joe Biden is expected to formally apologize for the country’s role in the Indian boarding school system, which devastated the lives of generations of Indigenous children and their ancestors.

A very important moment in the United States. Interesting timing that Joe Biden is doing this with months left of the presidency, but still - very important.

I think Charles has done some important things in shifting some dialogues. Him laughing in response to this is ridiculous.
Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe yells at King Charles after he finished giving a speech at the Australian Parliament: “You committed genocide against our people, give us our land back! Give us what you stole from us! You are not our King!”
