An Open Letter to Premier Danielle Smith from Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation & Mikisew Cree First Nation:

#cdnpoli
STURGEON LAKE CREE NATION MIKISEW CREE FIRST NATION FORT CHIPEWYAN, ALBERTA April 30, 2025 Dear Premier Smith: Re: Cease & Desist – Separatist Threats You are attempting to manufacture a national unity crisis – by enabling a referendum on separatism and a fanatical cell of individuals – at the exact moment when Canadians need to unite against Donald Trump’s America. The province of Alberta is on Treaty lands. Please be advised that your irresponsible statements and actions are in breach of Treaties No. 6, 7 and 8. We demand that you immediately stand down from this conduct. Our Treaties are sacred covenants and are to last forever. Alberta did not exist when our ancestors agreed to share the land with the Crown. The province has no authority to supersede or interfere with our Treaties, even indirectly by passing the buck to a “citizen” referendum. If you or any Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere. Sincerely, Signed Chief Sheldon Sunshine Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation Signed Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro Mikisew Cree First Nation

If you're a white woman & haven't read Audre Lorde, you should start with The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House for this Black History Month: theanarchistlibrary.org/library/audr...

#BHM #AudreLorde
"Why weren’t other women of Color found to participate in this conference? Why were two phone calls to me considered a consultation? Am I the only possible source of names of Black feminists? And although the Black panelist’s paper ends on an important and powerful connection of love between women, what about interracial cooperation between feminists who don’t love each other? In academic feminist circles, the answer to these questions is often, “We do not know who to ask.” But that is the same evasion of responsibility, the same cop-out, that keeps Black women’s art our of women’s exhibitions, Black women’s work our of most feminist publications except for the occasional “Special Third World Women’s Issue,” and Black women’s texts off your reading lists. But as Adrienne Rich pointed out in a recent talk, which feminists have educated themselves about such an enormous amount over the past ten years, how come you haven’t also educated yourselves about Black women and the differences between us—white and Black—when it is key to our survival as a movement? Women of today are still being called upon to stretch across the gap of male ignorance and to educated men as to our existence and our needs. This is an old and primary tool of all oppressors to keep the oppressed occupied with the master’s concerns. Now we hear that it is the task of women of Color to educate white women—in the face of tremendous resistance—as to our existence, our differences, our relative roles in our joint survival. This is a diversion of energies and a tragic repetition of racist patriarchal thought." - Audre Lorde, "The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House," 1979.

A Conservative majority-led federal government isn't guaranteed. Trump's policies will be mirrored with Poilievre as PM. It's imperative that Canada doesn't follow suit with the US. Get out and vote this year.

In honour of today's return of Broberg (& Holloway), here is a photo of Broberg & I from back in May. Bumped into him outside of the arena G3 in the Canucks series. Sigh.

Last month I went to Edmonton for the Indigenous Bar Association conference, I happened to be there during the Oilers autograph session. Out of all the players I met, I was most happy about this fella:

I'm up in Treaty 9 where I was asked to talk about the history of Pride 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 & my journey as a Two Spirit in sobriety as Moose Cree First Nation celebrates National Addictions Awareness Week w/the 1st Pride walk in my home Mushkegowuk territory. I'll be celebrating 10 years of sobriety in March 2025.
