My recent observations in the profession that even a First Nation Social Worker encounters!
"Work smarter, not harder" carries a lot of meaning in a world that honours unhealthy work/life balances. We are the ones who have to make those hard decisions to maintain our careers!

This is the stance we, the Sovereign First Nations of Turtle Island, need to take.
Merely being a "pawn" in settler political disputes is not in our interests. We are busy nation building and re-establishing our ways and languages.
Keep rising 7th generation!
Love,
First Nation Social Workers

Hello,
Some of my followers on my facebook account for this page asked about how to write a formal complaint. This is to advocate for the growing off-reserve members excluded from all forms of financial distributions, i.e., Christmas.
It is formatted for an email. Hope it helps!

My sincere thank you to all who change their teaching methodology to be more engaging and relatable to their students!
Hope to see more thinking "outside the box" for our children and youth to excel in school. This could be adapted to any disciple and could even merge culture/language...
