This is what the Truth in TRC means. Residential schools were places of: Imprisonment Physical Abuse Starvation Medical Testing Rape Forced Abortions Forced Sterilization Cultural Oppression Slavery Murder Genocide Why are there no charges for these crimes? #justicefor215 United Nations

Confused about the messages being delivered about Indigenous education in BC right now— is it, “nothing about us, without us” or “it’s not our work” IndigenousEdBC. Where does that leave Indigenous Educators who have lead conversation, but now told “not your work”?

This is so true… our priorities are skewed right now!! Our medical system is in desperate need of additional funding and shifts in how it functions

I am currently writing report cards with my students. I do this every term, with every student. When it comes to assessment and the many student-centred assessment practices I engage in, the time I spend engaging in practice this yields the greatest return on investment. A 🧵…

#bcedchat A1– in the beginning, I thought, “This is such a needed conversation among the male population.” Men are less likely to go to the doctor when they have signs of ailing health. I think the message has been lost.

#bcedchat A2– I wore a poppy to honour my ancestors who’s freedoms and rights had been denied. They immigrated to Canada only to return to Europe 5 years later to secure those continual freedoms & rights.

#bcedchat A3– our society has not allowed for men’s health to be a normalized conversation. Their narrative is closely tied to the dominant cultural narrative and power. To admit illness/mental health is to admit weakness. These conversations need to be normalized for men.

A friendly reminder, it's our sovereign right to wear regalia to any/all graduation ceremonies. A local hi school stopped a student. So, it still happens, and folks need to know the facts #IndigenousMemo #graduation2023 My Fam: Pic 1: ubc M.Ed, 2: ufv B.Sci, 3: sd33 Gr 12
