Honoring Louis Riel, born Oct 22, 1844 — a Métis leader, visionary, and defender of our rights, language & land. His spirit of resistance and pride still guides us today. ✊🏽✨

Charles Cuthbert, son of Cuthbert shows up in my research as a prisoner in the 1900 U.S. Census as Cuthbert. He is an inmate along with the Brien & Houle family members. He is 65 years of age and eventually lives his last years with his family.

Tonight’s full moon, Sunday, September 7, 2025, is Wabaabagaa-giizis, the Changing Leaves Moon, in Anishinaabe tradition. It marks when leaves turn and fall, signaling autumn. In some regions, it’s also called Binaakwe-giizis, the Falling Leaves Moon.
