May we walk in beauty … Happy International Women’s Day!
We would like the National Sixties Scoop Foundation to offer an apology to the survivors impacted by their statement of support for Buffy Sainte-Marie.
We commend the courage and leadership of Ira Lavallee, Acting Chief of the Piapot First Nation. He reminds us that Buffy Sainte-Marie is responsible for her claims. A shifting narrative does not excuse her from those responsibilities.
Piapot Chief wants Buffy Sainte-Marie to take a DNA test. youtu.be/q39QsyonaK8?si…
Documentaries are supposed to present factual information. An Emmy win is a slap in the face to so many Indigenous people tonight. Pretendianism is an act of colonial violence and should never be celebrated. We can not denounce it for one, and ignore it for another.
Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond dropped from the Order of Canada. Stealing Indigenous inter-generational trauma and identities brings very real consequences. We thank the Governor-General of Canada for correcting a wrong that was committed.
TERMINATION OF APPOINTMENT TO THE ORDER OF CANADA Notice is hereby given that, further to her individual request and the Governor General’s subsequent approval, the appointment of Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond to the Order of Canada was terminated by Ordinance signed on 2023-09-26.
Recent reports on Buffy Sainte-Marie’s identity have impacted Indigenous communities. The IWC would like to provide the necessary time and space for healing. We refer journalists to our statement and will not participate in media interviews at this time.
Our response to recent revelations calling into question the Indigenous identity of Buffy Sainte-Marie.
Recent revelations stemming from the CBC 5th Estate on Buffy Sainte-Marie have hit many in our communities hard. Please share for those in need. Hope for Wellness – Indigenous help line: 1-855-242-3310 Canada Suicide Prevention Service 24 Hour Crisis Line: 1-833-456-4566
We are now reviewing the material that CBC released on Buffy Sainte-Marie. Like all Indigenous peoples across the country we are slowly processing the information. Our hearts go out to all those who feel pain today. We will release a statement in the coming days.
Choose love. Denounce hate and intolerance. 🙌
Choose love. Denounce hate and intolerance. 🙌
Indigenous identity theft is fraud. Settlers try to hide behind authentic Indigenous people who are reconnecting and often steal their stories or trauma and disconnection. It’s an insidious twist of colonial theft.
Kevin Klein’s party says they don’t police questions over his claims to being Indigenous. This trust appears to only extend to settlers in places of privilege because authentic Indigenous people have to show proof every day in Manitoba.
Claiming to be a Métis healer in a hospital among our most vulnerable - and when he is asked to demonstrate accountability he hides from it. We need to be vigilant and call out this harmful colonial conduct when we see it.
Colonial politics, male patriarchy and the old boys club have never advanced true change for Indigenous people. They advance the status quo of which only they benefit. And the status quo is killing us.
Sometimes the statement isn’t what is said before you are ejected from the room. For many Indigenous women, the real statement is going into that room knowing you will be kicked out and speaking your truth anyways. That is what Iskotew feels like. #AFN
Racism hurts the living. But when the living have to fight to protect their deceased loved ones from racism after a murder? It’s barbaric. If you aren’t feeling outrage then you are not paying attention.

Really hate to criticize but one local newscast took a full 8 min before they covered the discovery of the remains of another First Nations woman at a landfill. The bodies of 5 Indigenous women are believed to have been dumped in Winnipeg area landfills in the last year, alone.

That's just it. My experience in this is that when I went to the Native Law Center Summer Law program that Nadya was also a student in. She applied and got the Indispire grant, and I didn't apply because I felt others needed it more than me even thou I needed it..
Identity fraud annoys me but it hits home when they are claiming to be Inuit. Our communities are small, we know each other. We know of each other and our families. There are only around 70,000 of us in Canada. The resources and supports are limited.
A statement from the Noah family re: Gill twins.
When people who are not Inuit unethically claim these supports and resources they are taking opportunities away from Inuit. It’s upsetting. I know of some Inuit who will not claim all they can because they believe someone else needs it more than they do. Integrity. Generosity.
@IndigenousWome4 As the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, I believe it is my responsibility to learn the truth & speak out about the use of Residential schools in Canada's attempted genocide of Indigenous people.
