Another positive step - helping to look after the waters, lands and its natural resources in a meaningful and bright fashion.
Kitasoo Xai’Xais Guardians & those at the helm have been working towards this for years — shared authority & power with #BCParks, achieving their own Parks Ranger badges & authorities while remaining the ancestral stewards of their territories. #Reconciliation #BCPoli #GoodNews

Hey, that’s me 😄. @NNIarizona Resource Centre and Database has so many valuable resources - written and video - that help Nations think through tough constitutional questions.
We're re-launching our Constitutions Resource Center (CRC). The goal of the CRC is to provide Native nations with a comprehensive set of tools (interviews, research, and examples) to support the process of constitutional reform nniconstitutions.arizona.edu
Former B.C. MLA Jack Weisgerber dies at 81
Jack had his 'political' moments trying to address Indigenous issues but he was up-front and very personable in approach.
Condolences to the Family. bc.ctvnews.ca/former-b-c-mla…
Perfect tribute for a Great Person and a recognizable step for Reconciliation. Love his quote!
"When we turn back and look at the steps we've [taken], we should acknowledge that's where we were and this is the distance we have come, so that our children can understand we have changed for the better." Steven Point.

Church Apology: Hold our Hands High to those who are in Rome and those who fought for decades on recognition, truth and now efforts for reconciliation.
Will help wipe the tears of sorrow from those lost in a horrible reality of residential schools.

I support Good Health and safe Communities!
I believe in the direction and leadership of Dr. Bonny Henry for BC.
I support and encourage all citizens to get their vaccinations as soon as possible and follow safe practices.
Then, and soon, our lives can become 'more normal'.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – thoughts:
5.Canada has recognized steps must be taken, they must be deliberate and they must be for a purpose. Let us take this Special Day and help to forge those steps.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – thoughts:
4.But, the sun is rising again, there is recognition that we have gone through a horrible period of this Country’s History. And our People persevere, they stand tall and they help to re-build what should have been all along.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – thoughts:
3.I get depressed that so much energy has been put forward by families and Indigenous leadership to show the wrongs, to seek acknowledgement and fight for justice. Only to hear denial and disregard.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – thoughts:
2.I feel sorrow that parents lost a young one, never to be told how or why, in many cases, not even given the chance to cry at the funeral.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – thoughts:
1.I can only imagine ones that were taken from their families and from us as Indigenous people – they never had the chance to do what I can do: Hunt, fish, walk the land, love, raise a family, see their Grandchildren grow.
