“We need these survivors who are in recovery to help our people. We need #FirstNation counsellors and workers with experience firsthand in #recovery, relapse, the use of AA, NA, traditional and cultural #healing to give our future generations hope.”

Windspeaker.comThe road to recoveryBy Xavier Kataquapit As a First Nation person I have been terrorized by alcohol and drug addiction all my life. I grew up with this reality and continue to witness the effects of addictions today. From the time I was a child I realized how terrible life was because of alcohol and drugs. I vowed to never head in that direction, however, as soon as I went into my teen years I joined the party.

#CPPotD Canadian Politics Poll of the Day - Mark Carney Goes to Europe Edition!

I have been supportive of talk of Canada joining the EU, but I admit, I feel a little... conflicted.. about this quotable quote from PM Mark Carney today alongside President Macron.

What was your reaction to Carney saying we are "The most European of Non-European Countries”?

The Concept Of Indigenous GIS
--
Reading a paper (http://alturl.com/8wte5), they used the specific term ‘Indigenous GIS’ – and I found this intriguing!
As I read it, spatial data collection and analysis was done with a focus on how a tribe or social group might ‘see’ the data, including spatiotemporal....
I look forward to finding out more about what others are working on! – so PLEASE feel free to share any examples that you might have…

Hello!

Je profite de ce vendredi pour vous conseiller le livre "jeux blanc" (ou "Indian horse") à lire absolument si l'un ou plusieurs des thèmes suivants vous parle - et à lire urgemment dans le cas inverse : #firstnation, #racisme, surmonter ses traumas, #hockey , #canada.

Ce livre combine (entre autres) 2 themes qui me touchent, improbablement réunis : la lutte des indiens d'Amérique pour survivre et garder un lien avec leurs racines (& la santé mentale) et le hockey

Ce sport est magnifiquement décrit, à travers le plaisir du jeux individuel et surtout à travers celui du jeux collectif...une vision réaliste et humaniste du sport, loin de la vision élitiste que nous vendent les médias.

Ps: Même si globalement j'ai trouvé beaucoup de force dans ce livre le récit est parfois dur. Si vous souhaitez éviter les sujets en liens avec les violences faites aux enfants, je vous déconseille ce livre.

Le livre a été adapté en film par Clint Eastwood. Je fais durer le plaisir de l'attente, mais je vous en direz plus lorsque je l'aurais vu.

Bonne le lecture et surtout bon weekend un peu à l'avance !

"it’s estimated that at least 15,000 Indigenous women and girls were pressured, coerced or forced to undergo tubal ligation since the 1890s, although better data is needed because many Indigenous people who have experienced forced sterilization are unaware they have been a victim of systemic racism."

My personal #books #ReadingGoal this year is to find & read every book that Richard Wagamese wrote. I have read 3 of his books so far & loved them. He's one of my fave #Indigenous authors in #Canada.

Richard Wagamese was one of Canada’s foremost #IndigenousAuthors & esteemed public speaker & #storyteller. A professional writer since 1979, he was a newspaper columnist & reporter, radio & television broadcaster & producer, documentary producer & author of 14 titles from various #Canadian publishers.

He was a success in every genre of writing he tried. An #Ojibway from the #Wabaseemoong #FirstNation in Northwestern #Ontario, he became the first #NativeCanadian to win a National Newspaper Award for Column Writing in 1991. He won the Alberta Writers Guild Best Novel Award for his debut novel, Keeper’n Me in 1994 & the Canadian Authors Association Award for Fiction for his third novel Dream Wheels, in 2007. One Native Life was one of The Globe & Mail’s 100 Best Books of 2008 & One Story, One Song was awarded the George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature in 2011.

Indian Horse, the feature film, is based on his book of the same title.

If you haven't read any of his books yet, I highly recommend finding them at your local library

#EagleLakeFirstNation challenges #NWMO in court

By Mike Stimpson, 2 January 2025

EAGLE LAKE – "#EagleLake #FirstNation is challenging the #NuclearWasteManagementOrganization’s site selection in court, and that’s more than welcome news to Neecha Dupuis.

"'I love it,' Dupuis, a member of the #Ojibway Nation of #Saugeen (#SavantLake), said from Ottawa. 'Just pure love.'

"Eagle Lake’s chief 'came and walked with us' in this year’s #WalkAgainstNuclearWaste, she noted.

"'It’s all coming together, like one giant dream catcher,' Dupuis said.

"Dupuis said she doesn’t understand #WabigoonLakeOjibway Nation’s decision to move forward with the NWMO on possibly constructing a deep geological repository, or DGR, for high-level nuclear waste.

"'For them to choose nuclear waste over the land, that doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense at all.'"
