Powerfully documented Indigenous production detailing the devastating impact of the dispossession and destruction of traditional territory and ways of life of the Tsay Keh Dene peoples. This is not ancient history: this happened in the 1960s.

Wonderful to hear of such a positive outcome from this partnership between the Lhoosk'uz Dené First Nation and UBC! What's the news on whether this will be an on-going project in partnership with all the other First Nations communities in need of good drinking water?
For 20 years, the Lhoosk'uz Dené First Nation has been trucking in bottled water. Now, thanks to a partnership with experts at the University of British Columbia, those days are over. bc.ctvnews.ca/remote-b-c-fir…
So well-deserved! Congratulations!

Great profile of Sonja Thoma’s contributions to Indigenous language reclamation, highlighting a major challenge “You can’t just superimpose the curricula of other languages that are around the province, because the language structure, cultural content and worldview is different.”
Intro'ing our new series by @ajorena #LangsciAfterGrad interviews alumni with langsci qualifications about their transition from academia to employment.

What would it take to update the BC provincial computer system to represent symbols for BC's Indigenous languages that every laptop computer already has several unicode fonts capable of rendering? Even Twitter can represent the word k̓ʷəyəcən in the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ writing system!
Dr. @candacekgalla, professor at @UBC_LLED and @UBC_CIS, says the B.C. government's computer system needs to be updated to better reflect its commitment to reconciliation in the province. via @CBCNews cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

UNDRIP Article 13.1 states "Indigenous peoples have the right to revitalize and use their languages ... and writing systems... and to designate their own names for places." #BCNDP passed the UNDRIP Act in 2019.
Cheyenne Cunningham says Indigenous people should be able to register business names in their own languages.

“Riel doesn’t need exoneration. Canada does. Canada would not be exonerating Riel. It would ... be exonerating itself.” In the spirit of reconciliation, Jean Teillet suggests a better move.
Here is my article in today’s Globe&Mail about “exoneration” for Riel. Why Louis Riel should not be pardoned (exonerated) by the state. Instead the Métis Nation should consider exonerating Canada! theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…
