On this day I remember my relatives who were forced into Canada's Residential School Prisons & who never recovered from the experience afterwards & depended on alcohol to cope for the rest of their lives, cut short as a result! This is why I do what I do as a Policy Analyst!

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day – a time to raise awareness for the ongoing impacts of residential school and remember the children who never came home.

The fact that the transatlantic slave trade, which saw millions of Africans ripped from their homes, forced into slavery, and subjected to unimaginable atrocities across the Americas and the Caribbean, is still not formally recognized as a crime against humanity is ridiculous. Ghana is now set to table a motion at the United Nations to change that, pushing for the trade to be acknowledged on the same level as the Holocaust and apartheid in South Africa. Rp: ADI

It’s already been a year since we last marched at Carriage House Inn for justice for Jon Wells who was killed by Calgary Police Service at the hotel last year. It was good to spend the afternoon with my people the Bloods. It’s always healing to hear our language and songs.

“The Universe is circles within circles, and everything is one circle, and all the circles are connected to each other. Each family is a circle, and those family circles connect together and make a community, and the community makes its circle where it lives on the Earth. It (the community) cares for that part (of the Earth) but cares for it as a circle - which is to say in a cooperative and egalitarian way, where everybody is cared for, and everybody is respected.” ~ Black Elk, Heȟáka Sápa, Oglala Lakota, (1863-1950)
