To Indigenous youth in this country: You are valued. You are admired. You are credible. You are remarkable. You are talented. You are respected. You are cherished. You are revered. You are powerful. You are beautiful. You are important. You are great. You are loved.

Our 5-year-old son told us yesterday that a kid at his after school daycare asked him why he has long hair, and he simply replied “because I’m Anishinaabe” 🥲✊🏽

Behold Ayaabehns Isaac Manoominii! He and his mama are in good health and spirits. He was born in a global pandemic and a time of widespread societal renewal, and we’re reminded that Anishinaabe babies are the greatest gift of hope. We’re very thankful that our son has chosen us.

"Ottawa" is an Algonquin word, and the emphasis is supposed to be on the second syllable, so he's actually pronouncing it properly. I'd never defend this dude otherwise, but if you're making fun of him, the joke's on you for ignoring and erasing Indigenous language and history.

I have never heard anyone mispronounce "Ottawa" the way @TuckerCarlson does here. Very odd.

Reminder to Indigenous people: whenever our collective traumas become widely discussed and analyzed, you don’t owe anyone outside your community a response. It’s not your job to educate the uneducated. Your health is your priority. Take care of yourself.

So...who’d be interested in a podcast about Indigenous literature?

Not to diminish anyone's fear or alarm, but it appears white people in Ottawa are starting to understand what it's like to be constantly let down by police and the justice system

The defining phrases of 2020. I'll start: "You're on mute."

Meet Odjig, our 3rd little dude! He came knocking a few weeks early, but @sarah_g_rice was a total champ and got him here safely. His big brothers are very stoked that he’s arrived, and we’re preparing for some eventful years ahead. Nmiigwechiwendam!

I’ll never lament the fallen statue of a colonizer. I’ll always lament the lives, languages, and ceremonies lost because of colonialism.

Well, our 4 year old has had it with online school. He refuses to even log on. His teachers are doing their best, but he just doesn’t want to do it anymore. Yesterday he asked us if we could drive by his school so he could look at it 😢

Many Canadians are finally starting to realize that their politicians don’t really care about them. Indigenous people have been trying to tell you that for a while now!
