At Dr. Kisha Supernant, social agitator (she/her).’s opening keynote for the 2023 American Anthropological Association/CASCA Meeting, and did not expect to start crying at one point—grateful to learn today, grateful to be called to do more reflection, and I felt seen in the transformative reflections she offers us. Incredible.

Ended the day at #AAACASCA2023 with an inspiring and moving talk by Dr. Kisha Supernant, social agitator (she/her).. I resonated with her words: 'We don't have an inherent right to tell other people's stories (...) What gives you the right to ask? (...) How can we do better this time?'. Cried a bit, won't lie

This is truly an honour; none of us on the working group do this for recognition, but this award will help amplify the good work we are trying to do to support Indigenous communities in the sacred work of locating potential unmarked graves. Thank you #GGInnovation!

A reminder that ground-penetrating radar alone cannot confirm the presence of a grave when it is viewed on a screen in the field. Interpreting potential graves from GPR data is possible but involves analysis following best practices. youtube.com/watch?v=cUIF77…

The work to find the children has barely begun. Cutting back the funding with so many communities in the middle of their searches is irresponsible. Ongoing support is desperately needed. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…
