RIP Jack and condolences to Dale. Jack really encouraged me to try out university. Too smart, funny, generous with his time and gone way too soon. A mentor to so many students, collegues and many others. All Our Relations.

RT if you think @JustinTrudeau and @CrownIndigenous can't be trusted by First Nations. #StopTheFramework

I feel nauseous. There is no "justice" within the colonizers court systems. How can there be? Its basis of law is from the Doctrine of Discovery & Terra Nullius #IdleNoMore
