As Canadian Thanksgiving approaches, I want to remind you that the practice of 'giving thanks' is an Indigenous tradition. In our all of our ceremonies, in all things we do, we give thanks. For us, it is something we have done for thousands of years .

Today, we are thankful for the work of the National Inquiry on #MMIWG. The final report sets out 231 #CallsforJustice to end the #violence #racism and #genocide. We all have a role to play.

There is a lot of sadness and hurt right now among Indigenous health scholars and learners and others due to news released today about a colleague. It's a good time to focus on the central fire.

Indigenous students who find themselves in urgent financial hardship can apply for a bursary of up to $2,500. Situations include house fire, displacement from living accommodations, emergent need to travel home, injury, or more. Open all year Indspire indspire.ca/wp-content/upl…

Its not unreasonable to assert that #EveryoneNeedsShelter. Its unconscionable to argue otherwise. 3 months in & cold weather upon us. Shelters are full. This building still sits empty. What other building have you seen lately that sits empty? Have you added it to This Should Be Housing?

Join us on Sat. Nov. 27 from 1-2 at Province House to call back the House until everybody’s got one! It’s time for an emergency session of the legislature to address the housing needs of people surviving houselessness. 1/3

The housing crisis won’t take a break just because the people who govern are. It’s up to us, the people, to demand that elected officials do their job. It’s time that the province declare homelessness a crisis, & appropriately address the needs of our unhoused neighbours. 2/3

So on the 27th, please join us to demand that the House meets so everybody can have one. Bring a mug for a hot beverage, your banners & signs, your noisemakers, your love, your mask, your friends & loved ones. Facebook event link for more information: m.facebook.com/events/1350405… 3/3

Once again, a Winnipeg Police officer won't face any charges for murdering an Indigenous person. Stewart Andrews was 22 years old and had recently become a father. "He had high hopes, high ambitions, and a good future." #JusticeForStewartAndrews cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

Someone we've known for decades finally moved into her own place. She's been searching for housing for years, a challenge due to complex health and mobility issues. Reflecting on this new start, it's more than shelter or safety. "A home is a place where I can feel like I belong."
