Do not follow me if you are incapable of seeing yourself on STOLEN LANDS.
What a most wonderful mother, ever. She raised 12 of us, losing 7 and the rest to the residential school policy. She never spoke a word of English, and herself a daughter of one of the last of the old time medicine men.
Trees smell like Stars. Trees breathe in starlight year after year, and it goes deep into their bones. So when you cut a tree open, you smell a hundred years worth of light. Ancient starlight that took millions of years to reach Earth. That’s why trees smell so beautiful and old.
Alberta is BURNING.
Dangerous "nuclear waste" is stored near Fort MacMurray. Smoke inhalation if the fire burns the stored radium, will mean deadly health effects.
My grandmother was one of the last of the weather-readers. She passed it on to one of our clan, now an elder. He says the weather is no longer readable.
When a young man, late former serviceman, and a gentleman, soldier, and Dene warrior, killed while walking on the highway.
I am still so devastated. And sad.
Anthros call our huge linguistic nation "Athabaskan". We, in our area, southern-most portion of Saskatchewan, are Poplar/Aspen Tree Home Human Beings. Ya th'eh Neneh is the proper term.

It is NOT ok, for police snipers to be drawing a bead on Indigenous People. It is still not ok for police snipers to be on rooftops, drawing beads on anybody, period.

The murderous "STARLIGHT TOURS", of the Saskatoon City Police, dropping off supposedly drunken "Indians" out of the city limits in below freezing weather, to freeze to death. November 24, 1990
I once rode a buckskin, relatively tame but got to head nudging me if I quit singing as we trotted through forests. But, run fast it did.
Resilience, strength, cultural perseverance and the spirit of the people.
This is a residential school. I was "policied" here for 1,800 days. I returned here years later, built my home in one of the cleared fields (top, center). Today, I counted 21 planted flags, potential children remains GPR "anomaly" sites outside our sacred grounds.
I rare ever had a vehicle after we left the cities forever. When we moved deep into the forest, I ran to the nearest store 30 kms away. I "jogged" daily for over two decades. I walked the forests looking for wild foods. A healing time, lick wounds, filling in a clean slate.
My farewell, and tribute to a Dene warrior, soldier, and all-around fix-it guy. He was killed a few days ago hit by a van while walking. His broken body laid where he fell for 10 hours, waiting for a coroner to arrive.
No more Tim Horton's coffee for me, nor for any of my family. This is to draw attention to the participation of a manager of a Tim Horton's establishment part in an attack on an Indigenous innocent man.

Quebec comes from the Algonquin word, kebec, signifying the narrowing of the river in the area around the City of Québec. Ottawa comes from the Algonquin term adawe, "to trade." This was the name given to the people who controlled the trade of the river.
A vey sad day for us. One of our rez members got hit and killed while walking the highway. Traffic was stopped on both directions, and motorists are waiting for over 5 hours now, and its snowing, bleak, slippery. The coroner is 4 hrs south.
He always wanted to be with me, anywhere, deep into the forest, listening to wolves, shaking paws with a bear, talking to plants, the deities, the little people, anything ....
He walked over 100 miles to sign up to fight for a Canada that treated him as less than equal. One of many brave Métis who served.
England, Africa, Italy, and back to Saskatchewan to walk home.
Louis Roy died today. He was 101.
Please remember him.
My woman's work. I hunted the moose, we eviscerate and package the food together. We trampoline the hide, and de-hair.... lot of work, but we tan the hide.
For the people who were aware that a hand carved art piece, worn as a pendant, is also a medicine, as they contacted me to carve a piece for a loved one who was very sick. They got well.
Support Indigenous art.
Back in 2015, the then-redneck SaskParty initiated a "let it burn" policy, affecting over 20,000 Indigenous People who had to be evacuated as flames roared across Northern Saskatchewan. No Indigenous People trusts those rednecks who are still there.

"Residents of Stanley Mission are on their way to Saskatoon for the foreseeable future as a wildfire southwest of that northern community has forced the evacuation." "Foreseeable future??" That means their community is GONE!
Traveled for five days to Mikmaw Lands, and readied to help them face the violence of goons, called RCMP at a frack fight where frackers are not welcome.
Indigenous People are not "activists". They are responders, to manufactured conspiracies of lies, fallacies, and untruths. This is our land, our continent. Conquest is a fantasy based on some ideal of "civilization" at the cost of Indigenous lives.
So distressing, a fine bro I met at Standing Rock, a fearless warrior of the Hopis, shot and seriously injured in NM at a "protest" site against a damned conquistadore statue.
You got to live, man!
A Secwepmec warrior, with Dene artists.
If you ever venture into the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull, look up, waaaay up, and there's Alex work.
