I am an Indigenous writer / journalist originally from Attawapiskat FN. I am a Kattawapiskak Ininew (a Mushkego Cree) and a member of Attawapiskat FN which is on the James Bay coast in northern Ontario.
The day we contacted you to talk on the phone was a breath of fresh air for us in this crazy world. You're in our thoughts and prayers and wish you the best regardless of where things are.

You breathe life into this world. Stay strong.

Beautiful write up and it brings up many emotions of anger, resentment, disappointment ... but also community, acceptance, hope ... Chi-Meegwetch for this perspective of these commemorations. Now I have to visit the tour myself some day.

No better message than to remind everyone that we all go back to the same place where we came from .... Mother Earth

I think the machete is a metaphor for how you like to 'cut down to the core of the stories you write' .... or it might mean you'd make a great character in a Tarantino movie.

Tax the rich .... the US and Canada once taxed the hell out of the wealthy and it corresponded to the growth of these countries. Once that stopped, these countries began to decline. The unrestrained freedom of the ultra wealthy directly corresponds to the health of a country.

Always love Carlin and still do ... he kept the world and especially Americans laser focused on the issues that mattered and made them actually think.

They should install a generator to his grave because he's probably spinning so fast right now he could power a small city.

We are always an afterthought .... and when it comes time to actually include us in the conversation - we are ignored or dismissed.
