It’s important to have a community, to be claimed by community, to feel as though you belong in that way. Nobody can and should take that away. But a prerequisite to being Indigenous, is being Indigenous. Especially if you’re profiting in some way from a claim of Indigeneity.

A more appropriate statement is that Canada was and remains broken, but by acknowledging the past as well as the present, we can walk together to build a better community and future.

This is pretty much the definition of gaslighting, and it’s harmful and insulting to people who’ve survived centuries of colonialism and genocide.

The Barren Grounds is #3 this week for Canadian Kids, and The Portal Keeper is #6! I'm hard at work book #5, by the way. Then it's the finale!

Picked up a couple of faves tonight. I might get into collecting books, along with my comic collecting habit. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Today I got to do the keynote address for child and family services for my band, Norway House Cree Nation, and it was the most meaningful presentation I’ve done in a long time. Felt Dad with me.

“This (The Portal Keeper) is an incredibly creative, gloriously fantastic tale that combines myth, Cree language and stories with fast-paced action, danger and triumph.”
