Incredibly proud of Dr. Megan Blair for defending her doctoral thesis.

I am very proud, as the Chair of Canada’s Memory of the World Advisory Committee, to share our latest (and most exciting) commemorative inscription - the handwritten Anne of Green Gables manuscript.

My thanks to @j_akeeagok, the Premier of Nunavut, for coming to speak to my History and Indigenous Studies students at @WesternU. They were thrilled to participate in such an honest and insightful question and answer session.

As the Chair of the @CCUNESCO Memory of the World Advisory Committee, I am proud to announce our 32nd official commemoration - the Archives of the No. 2 Construction Battalion, housed at @LibraryArchives.

Disgusting. The most vile cabinet in history.

Too young. What awful news.

I’ll be providing some live commentary for @CBCNews at 1:15 just before the National Commemoration Ceremony for the late Murray Sinclair. Watch live here:

Fuck this.

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.

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.

My thanks to CBC Indigenous for asking for my thoughts regarding the historic apology by President Joe Biden for Indian Boarding Schools in the United States.

I’ll be joining @CreesonAPTN at 6:00pm EST to discuss Biden’s historic apology.

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.

Thank you to the Canadian Studies Network for this Honourable Mention. This PhD thesis is being adapted into a book to be published by @McGillQueensUP.

RT @SSHRC_CRSH: Last week, SSHRC welcomed the Indigenous Advisory Circle members in Ottawa for their annual meeting. We are appreciative of….

I think Charles has done some important things in shifting some dialogues. Him laughing in response to this is ridiculous.

Congratulations to Susan Holt, the first female premier of New Brunswick.
