Agree 100% we as non-Indigenous people are generally lacking in the knowledge we should have of the treatment our ancestors inflicted (and continue to if you look at the deplorable living situations of many) on those who call this land home. I have an orange shirt to wear on September 30th to shine a light on the effects residential schools had on the First Nation children and the legacy they left behind. There are still people alive who went to those schools, the last one was closed in 1996.Thanks for sharing. As a white person in Canada, my eyes were really opened by Connie Walker's podcasts on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (two seasons of Missing & Murdered on CBC podcasts, and more recently Stolen on Spotify). I highly recommend them, it really helps you to understand the impacts of inter-generational trauma on indigenous people.
As an Indigenous woman, this whole post and thread makes me feel so welcome! Thank you.
I don’t look at FB or Instagram. What exactly do you mean by this?Terrible that Instagram and Facebook decided to censor everything MMIW this year
I stand with all Canadians as an ally to this travesty against women.
I actually saw several posts shared by friends who live in the states, but just the other side of the new York border. The posts were all linked to Canadian websites, so not sure what you did or didn't see? I'd be really interested in hearing.Terrible that Instagram and Facebook decided to censor everything MMIW this year
