Tānsi nītotemahk! Come join us for our next session of ininīmotān language table beginning this Saturday March 28th from 11am to 12:30pm at a new location 287 Laura Street (Indigenous Arts & Cultural Centre). Our new program will also include meals since we will be meeting around lunch time and our new space can accommodate us.

We are not helpless in the face of injustice, our example can be our message. Let's all take many small actions today because they will add up tomorrow. I promise to do my part if you will too; use your example to encourage those around you to do their part too and little by little, we will change the world.

Being present is the real present - let’s give gifts of our time and attention to one another so we can create memories that last longer than the dollars in our bank accounts.

Global did this segment focusing on First Nations voters and what they would like to see. I spoke mostly about water since my reserve is taking the federal government to court in a class action lawsuit! Let’s get out there, take action, vote too, and do what we can to make a difference!

I was so honoured when I heard that Friesens wanted to share We Need Everyone with kids across southern Manitoba in soft cover format for I Love to Read Month this year! I hope the students had fun and are enjoying their personal copies - if I ever come to your school I would love to sign your books and of course Sushi the cat would sign them too!

“Join us Wednesday, April 16 and Thursday, April 17, 2025, at the Victoria Inn Hotel & Convention Centre for two days filled with insightful discussions and workshops on adolescent literacy. Connect with educators, researchers, and literacy advocates to share best practices and strategies for promoting literacy among adolescents. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn, network, and be inspired!” - I’ll be sharing a keynote speech to close out our time together!

“Residents, business owners and history lovers have been invited to gather on Tuesday evening to brainstorm solutions to combat a recent rash of fires in a historic Winnipeg neighbourhood. Winnipeg's North End is having a tough time with fires, particularly at historic and/or vacant buildings, says Michael Redhead Champagne, a longtime community activist and an event organizer with the group North End History.”

Join me at one (or both!) of my upcoming author visits with the Winnipeg Public Library as part of the TD Summer Reading Club where I will be sharing We Need Everyone with families!

Do you love the North End? Do you want to see Selkirk Avenue revive and thrive and be a gathering place for renewal and revitalization? Please join me for a walk down Selkirk Avenue as part of the 2024 Jane’s Walk Winnipeg series.
