Canada’s legal system legislated genocide the day it wrote compulsory attendance at residential schools into law...The law has always been a tool used to oppress us. It will never be our saviour.
This year across the north, hundreds of Dene mommas will be receiving gorgeous gifts sets filled with land based things I hand picked and created and honestly, I couldn’t be more thrilled! #GoodMedicine#NaidieNezu#DeneThings#NorthOf60 🌸🌼💗🌲🌿

When women rise, we all rise with them!
@LubiconNation honors the authorities & contributions inherent in Cree women which are integral to the function of our societies. #InternationalWomensDayx.com/LubiconNation/status/1…
Like other marginalized groups, Indigenous people in Canada experience victimization & bullying every day. Today, @LubiconNation stands with Canadians in pink shirts to bring awareness to the harms & lasting trauma of bullying. #StandUpAgainstBullying#Lubicon#PinkShirtDay2021
I don't think you included the Lubicon Lake Band's treaty with Albert and Canada, or the exclusion of and opposition from the Lubicon Lake Nation to the treaty, in either this week's or last's?

Did @RachelNotley's @AlbertaNDP rush into a hasty deal with the #Lubicon? Longtime Chief Bernard Ominayak of @LubiconNation raised concerns about the deal to the Premier this week, including outstanding court actions from 2013. bit.ly/2TsNjPd
This is why #Lubicon traditional governance structures work. Its more than just democracy, its democracy-plus. Our laws are alive in our leaders, who build them up in our people, which strengthens our communities. Thanks #WILC2018 & @WindsorLaw for creating a forum to share this!
Great experience hanging & speaking w/these powerhouse women about traditional Cree laws in a Contemporary context at the World Indigenous Law Conference! I always feel like I learn way more than I teach. Its time for real #Decolonizing change for our Nations. #WILC2018
OMG @Carolyn_Bennett, @RachelNotley, @JustinTrudeau, @FeehanRichard heres your lesson for today. Until you get this you just don't get any of it. Our structures were here B4 you n will be here after ur gone. Theyre stronger than yours! So sit with them, find real #reconciliation
This. This is the lesson @Carolyn_Bennett@CynthiaTomlins8 says "I'm not going to bad-mouth Indian Act Chiefs & Councils, thats not why I'm here. I'm here to tell you inherent & traditional governance structures based on our laws still exist today, & they're strong." #WILC2018

#WILC2018@CynthiaTomlins8 talks about attacks by Canada on indigenous identity as political strategy to force settlements says "I've always been really proud to be #Lubicon. For me it meant we stood up for what we believe in, no matter what comes. Our land and our people first."
