Thank you to Chastity Davis-Alphonse and contributors Merle C Alexander, Nits’ilʔin Joe Alphonse, Dave Robertson, Kim van der Woerd, Denise Williams and more who helped create the fifth edition of Mákook pi Sélim. Honoured to share your stories and perspectives. #NIPD2023

This week, we published the fifth edition of Mákook pi Sélim – a business publication entirely produced by Indigenous writers and journalists. Read it here: biv.com/magazine/makoo… #NIPD2023 #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay

'Indigenous women are fierce, and we're fierce about taking care of each other, and about taking care of our communities and taking care of our planet.'

On #IWD2023 , we remember this invitation from Chastity Davis-Alphonse and our 2022 partner, deyen_transform.

We don’t want to see another Brenda Lucki again. #RCMP are on the brink of extinction if they don’t pay attention to what’s happening around them. It’s time to change. Re: Trudeau says appointing Indigenous RCMP commissioner 'excellent idea'

The secret to inclusive streets? The Dutch have cracked the code. For 40 years they've designed and built infrastructure so everyone who wants to cycle can do so.

I'd like my fellow Canadians to take note that we are a distant second but we are still second.

Everytime there is an incident of racism in 🇨🇦 publicly funded health care system - racism which happens everyday, it needs to be named for what it is: publicly funded racism.
Publicly funded racism requires publicly funded accountability, prevention, & justice for those harmed.

People don't actually want advice. They already know what they should be doing. They want someone to listen and support them.

Here's how to stop giving unsolicited advice:

The world has lost a great man but #GinoOdjick 's legacy will live on through the people who will continue to be inspired by his kindness and generosity. Here's a video about my connection to this incredible person and what he means to me.

The most powerful thing that people need to remember about residential schools is this:

They never truly did “kill the Indian in the child.”

RIP Algonquin Enforcer you’ve earned your place with the Ancestors. Gino was very involved with all our local Nations in Vancouver. He used to stop in to have coffee with my late Father. He did a lot for all Indigenous people, he allowed us all to dream bigger! He will be missed.
