Today I spoke at the Royal Bank of Canada’s AGM to tell RBC shareholders about the devastation their fossil fuel investments are causing to Indigenous communities, including my own, in the tar sands. RBC is financing cultural and environmental genocide.

The fight to save Mother Earth and our climate is far from over, but at least today we can take a pause to celebrate the defeat of another pipeline. Shout out to every person who worked to stop KXL! We did it. Line 3 & TMX - you're next.

* worked so diligently - and continue to do so. This work is often thankless, unseen and brutal. This work has real impacts on the bodies & spirits of those who do this work. I thank all the Indigenous Elders who led the way long before the word “climate change” even existed.
Happy

Today I celebrate all of the beauty & all of the perseverance of so many to get to where we are. There is still work to do to decolonize. Not just for Indigenous peoples, but for ALL people living on Turtle Island.
