How does one “make” their kid non-binary? Like how would I, as a parent, actually accomplish that? If I actually had the power to “indoctrinate” my kids I’d start with getting them to do their laundry or start the dishwasher without being told. Have you ever parented a teen? 🤦🏽‍♀️

Orange Shirt Day should not be a called or turned into a “celebration”. It is our Remembrance Day. We honour and observe. This day represents many lost children and widespread intergenerational trauma. Its a time to learn and reflect. #EveryChildMatters

I have a 13 yo non-binary child who I love fiercely. I kept them home today because I didn’t want them to see which of their classmates have been pulled from school by their parents for this protest. Their identity was never a problem until the past year’s surge in hate. 💔

People should understand that when Indigenous people share their culture with you, it is a huge risk. Once our culture is shared with you, we lose control over what you do with it. The sharing is an honour that means we trust you will care for what is shared. 🧡🪶

50% of the kids in care in Canada are Indigenous. They only make up about 8% of the child population. Currently, 91% of the kids in care in Manitoba are Indigenous. There are more Indigenous kids in care at this moment in Canada than in residential schools at their height.

Maybe the sixties scoop doesn’t get talked about as much as residential schools because Canada doesn’t want anyone else to realize they never stopped taking our children. Maybe they want everyone to believe that the genocide ended in 1996.

In jingle you spend a lot of time on your toes, which is a lot of work! This might be surprising to hear but I am hands-down more sore the day after dancing jingle than a day after a marathon. Calves were screaming at me this morning, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything! 🪶🧡

@heymrsbond What I see is that she is struggling unsuccessfully for ‘control’ of the class, and when students come from oppression, being “controlled” is triggering and traumatizing. 1/3

Wanna know something crazy? It’s next to impossible to adopt a First Nations child out of extended society foster care. These are kids who have no chance of ever going home. Even when they are in a loving First Nations home, these children will be stuck in care til adults… /1

Gr 8 boy just approached me privately after my presentation to thank me for teaching him about Indigenous history/culture as he is Indigenous on both sides of his family and knows nothing about it. Moments like that are why I do what I do… 🧡

Got to dance a lil jingle outside with the awesome students at St Mike’s in Woodstock this morning! I live just across the school yard so I came home after and kept it going in my backyard. 🫶🏽😍🪶 If you’ve ever wondered what jingle is… voilà! @stmikeswdstk @LDCSB

My dad just gave me this- one of my late grandmother’s handwritten cookbooks. She’s been gone for almost 40 years and I haven’t seen this since I was a kid. She was the world’s greatest cook- made a living doing it while my dad was just a kid. Literal gold in my hand here. 💕

I teach the required Indigenous Ed course to YR1 B.Ed. Ss at Western. Marking final assignments starting with a few students who initially pushed back against the content. The GROWTH is AMAZING! That same brutal honesty but in a "this course changed my views" type of way.🧡🪶

Good To Know- This is a medicine pouch. We wear these as protection and inside we put medicines, often advised by our Elders. The pouch is worn close to the heart. If you see someone wearing one, please make sure not to touch it as it is someone’s personal bundle and sacred. 1/2

I JUST GOT ACCEPTED TO RUN THE 2024 TOKYO MARATHON! This is my 6th and final world major to earn my 6 Star medal- something only around 11,000 people worldwide have earned. I was the girl who cried in gym class in elementary school- I couldn’t even run 100m. SPEECHLESS 🥹🏃🏽‍♀️

@heymrsbond You can frame it as an “area of growth”- for example I would say for me “an area of ongoing growth for me is assessment- always learning more about equitable assessment practices, assessment as, for and of learning, ways to efficiently provide regular meaningful feedback.”

I was asked to come into @LambethPS1 today for #ReconciliationWeek . Grade 2 students learned about powwow dancing, the history of the jingle dance and the steps to dance intertribals with us at a powwow. Beautiful being able to share our culture in positive ways! 🧡🪶

My 14yo is in Gr 8. She has to do a slide presentation on someone’s migration story. She has chosen to tell her classmates about her life in and out of foster care. Her classmates will be moved. I hope she knows how strong, fierce, brave and incredible she is. 💫

Two years ago a 16 yo came to stay with us for the weekend. Today she is a permanent member of our family and I’m so proud to call her my daughter. My life is better because of you, Trisha. July 1st she will always be your celebration! 🫶🏽💕
