NEED.
(as it relates to research)
“Enough research.
We need action.
Our communities are in need.”
A deep, soft voice
from the back corner.
“We need more research.
We need to know
what is happening
in our communities.”
Research is knowing one another.
Our songs are our certificates.
Research is ceremony.

In Personal Heroes, Thomas King.

Kwey,
Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence is currently on a hunger strike and demanding a meeting with you, the Prime Minister of Canada. Her people are suffering and have shown the world the issues many First Nations face across Turtle Island.
I am aware that Minister John Duncan has agreed to meet with Theresa Spence, but that is not enough. First Nations’ relationships with settlers predate Canada, and First Nations leaders have the right to engage in nation-to-nation relationships with representatives of the Crown.
As a payer of Canadian taxes and a citizen of the Anishinabe nation, I am writing to demand you meet with Chief Theresa Spence.
Gi-bizindaw.
Kitchi migwech,
Mallory Whiteduck

Scenes from an emotional march and rally that ended at the Legislature yesterday, organized to draw attention to missing and murdered Aboriginal women. Grand chiefs are calling for a public inquiry following the arrest of a Winnipeg man, charged in the deaths of Tanya Nepinak, Carolyn Sinclair and Lorna Blacksmith. More: http://wfp.to/Yib
