Just a friendly reminder that a good alternative to “spirit animal” is animagus or patronus & if you feel like you can’t use these terms because you’re not in the Harry Potter fandom then you need to seriously re-evaluate why you value pop culture over actual living cultures.

If you had no prior knowledge about Residential Schools until you heard about the 215 children’s remains that were uncovered recently.... you should absolutely be outraged by the level at which you were lied to; by the secrets kept from you about the true history of “Canada”.

I can’t get over the fact that Indigenous water and land protectors are ALWAYS met with police violence yet this trucker convoy, which has brought out white supremacists, is being not only allowed but widely celebrated. Thanks, Canada, for further proving how unloved we are.

First Nations should not be paying to uncover the graves at residential schools. The government should cease spending millions to fight residential school survivors in court and pay to check all institutions of genocide.

As a woman, being assertive often gets misconstrued as aggressive. Specifically as an Indigenous woman, when I am assertive, I am often made to feel like I shouldn’t be; like I shouldn’t assert my rights; like maybe I don’t deserve to even have rights or autonomy. Fuck that.

My cousin Tia Tolles has been missing for two weeks. She’s from Moose Deer Point and could be in the Midland or Parry Sound areas. If you know anything please let me know and I’ll pass the info on to my auntie. Tia if you see this- I love you and you have a safe place here ❤️

I hate the discrepancy between “gendered” styles of boots and clothing. The women’s section is garbage always. Can we just start making good, hearty, useful shit for everyone???

I love painting drums ❤️✨ I tend to mostly paint them in the winter months- not sure if there is a teaching about this but it’s just the natural flow of how I work. *sold*

Residential schools were absolutely a tool of genocide. The intent was to use religion, abuse-tactics and torture to “remove the Indian from the child” (John A. Macdonald said that about the desired final result of residential schools). To deny this is fucked up.
