Tsawwassen First Nation is in our hearts today. To lose two beloved elders — in such a terrifying accident and on a day already so heavy with grief — is devastating.
My thoughts are with the loved ones of those who died, those who were injured, and the entire community who are in grief and shock.

Here are the graves.
This Orange Shirt Day we are returning the Brandon Indian Residential School cemetery grounds to the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation on behalf of many First Nations whose children are buried here.
This is one of the most well documented burial grounds at a residential school in Canada with not only church and historical records but also contemporaneous newspaper articles describing what happened to these children.
You can not deny history.

📷 We Want to Hear From You!
Indigenous Disability Canada (IDC) / BC Aboriginal Network on Disability Society just launched our Accessible Housing - Inclusive First Nations Project.
We are inviting First Nations community members, especially those with lived experience of disability, to complete our survey on accessible housing.
Your insights will help us better understand strengths, gaps, and barriers, and shape meaningful, community-informed solutions.
Take the survey here: surveymonkey.com/r/LQVFB6C
Each month we will be making a draw for a new iPad, eligible to those who fully complete our survey!
We welcome you to share this post to help us reach more community members. Together, we can support more accessible, inclusive communities for today and future generations!

🧡 On National Ribbon Skirt Day, we honour the strength woven into every ribbon skirt—stories of resistance, beauty, and pride carried forward by Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people. Our culture is alive, evolving, and visible everywhere we go. Our ribbon skirts represent confidence, connection, and the resilience of Indigenous People across Turtle Island. Art by Lauren Good Day

Ribbon skirts represent the strength and resilience of Indigenous Peoples – with each ribbon and stitch telling a story of culture and tradition.
On #NationalRibbonSkirtDay, we reflect on our shared responsibility to build a better future as we walk the path of reconciliation.
