#ÉlénaChoquette discusses her book #LandAndTheLiberalProject: #Canada's Violent Expansion
Choquette 'investigates the liberal concept that underpinned land appropriation and legitimized violence: #Indigenous territory and people were to be “improved,” the former by agrarian capitalism, the latter by so-called protection and enforced schooling.'

“For the settlers, take care and read slowly and with intention. A key part of your privilege is being able to opt in and out of discussions or engagement. Please check that privilege…”
FEARLESS, POETIC MEMOIR from a Cree, Salish, and Métis writer tells the story not only of her own traumatic family history, but of the brutal generational oppressions that cast painful shadows in too many Indigenous lives. B PLUS

“It’s also about being an example of doing work you passionately believe in. You’d do it whether it was worthless. You’ll do it ‘til the day you die. In some ways it’s the most spiritual work there is.”

Ecouter des personnes raconter comment elles ont grandi en #France comment on les "traite" en #médecine comment le regard des soignant.es est différents selon que l'on soit noir ou blancs et.... pourquoi il y a une majorité de personnes noirs, métis qui travaillent dans les soins infirmiers. Et pensée pour les soignants des #hôpitaux de #genève #lausanne #Suisse victime de racisme et les malades pas tout à fait blancs sans bon job et bon salaire et donc pas tout à fait bien soigné 🙄

Today is the 140th anniversary of #louisriel 's execution.
Riel, now known as the #fatherofmanitoba and a fearless leader of the #metis people, grew up in a well respected home. Like many before him and after, he stepped out of comfort in the name of justice for his people.
He endured being called a lunatic, a traitor, and a criminal , as he was aware that his actions would echo through the centuries. He knew his life would be short.
As a Metis, I honour him.
THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
The #Metis man, Montrose McGillivray, was a young man descended from a powerful North West Company gentleman, who wasted his own life at Fort #Vancouver, but who also played his part in an excursion that became important to our #History #YorkFactoryExpress #TheHBCBrigades #Writing #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/montrose-mcgillivray/
We love to perform and teach! If you're in Ottawa (or can fly us to where you are), we'd love to come to your event (School-permitting, of course. Weekends are best for travel. We're still students!)

My Grandpa was a #metis #ww2 #armyveteran. I'm working on having his story shared with the #manitobametisfederation. I think he would have liked that.

“…we expect to see confirmation of our inclusion in the funding. Clearly, the Red River #Métis Government has outstanding questions about the implications of the budget for our Citizens…”
What are metabolomics? This might be a useful primer. But it's a measure of how groundbreaking David Wishart's work is, that most people don't know WHAT it is! (He is a physicist, a biologist, a computer scientist and chemist, all rolled into one. And a very proud Metis Edmontonian.) https://www.britannica.com/science/metabolomics #UniversityofAlberta #Metis

Today the MMF failed to show they couldn't pay their child and family service workers fairly. They wanted to pay them unfairly. I don't usually support non Indigenous unions meddling in Indigenous affairs, but the only way to deal with a bully is to be a bigger bully. So, congratulations to the workers caring for Métis children and families. Shame on the MMF. Way to promulgate the image that MMF leadership are all about money and control. Way to go on that. 😕

“Blending poetry, storytelling, and community voices, the presentation weaves together reflections on identity, agency, power, and belonging within therapeutic contexts. By centering Indigenous knowledge systems alongside Western mental health frameworks, Délani invites a reimagining of care that honors both tradition and self-determined healing.”
