If you, like me, have wanted to learn how to speak Ininew (swampy cree, n-dialect) for a long time but haven't had the community of speakers to do it, this opportunity is for you! You're invited to join me for ININÍMOTÁN LANGUAGE NEST at St John's Library on Mondays starting May 6 @ 6pm!

In its third week on the chart, We Need Everyone has made it to the #1 spot on McNally Winnipeg Kids Bestseller chart! Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, so much more good things are to come with this book and related awesomeness!

“Auntie Style” means systems and workers are rooted in the concept of kinship and are able to provide culturally safe care. Check out a report that Indigenous youth from Winnipeg contributed to sharing their hopes for primary care for themselves and their loved ones.

CityNews reporter Temi Olatunde walks and talks with Winnipeg Indigenous activist Michael Champagne, discussing some of the challenges facing the north end, and hopes for 2024.

I'm so honoured to be part of this awesome project where artist Lani Zastre interviews and hand sketches in pencil a number of Indigenous folks in the community. I also answered a question of what I would like to see happen in terms of how non Indigenous people can live together with Indigenous peoples, you’ll be surprised how I answered!

Thank you to APTN InFocus and host Darrell Stranger for having me on their episode that highlighted the importance of Indigenous youth organizing. I was one of 4 folks interviewed for this and was honoured to talk about the importance of language, We Need Everyone and what I mean when I say revolution!

August has been a quieter month for me and I appreciated the time to focus on resting, self care and reflecting on the adventures of the last few months. I wanted to take a moment to share with you some of the activities I have been involved in in the last few months. I look forward to seeing many of you soon!
