Great to be back in Town of Inuvik, Northwest Territories! Thank you Gwich’in Tribal Council Grand Chief Ken Kyikavichik for the warm welcome. It was great having the opportunity to reconnect, explore potential areas for collaboration, and share insightful discussions.

With Presidents Michael Greenland and Kelly McLeod and Chiefs Danny Greenland, Phillip Blake and Robert Charlie-Tetlichi. Together we can accomplish great things for our Nation and people!

Great to be back in Inuvik for a bilateral meeting with the Gwich’in Tribal Council. We had a packed agenda, and I want to thank Ken Kyikavichik and the GTC for the insightful conversations on many important issues. #nwtpoli

This is Frank Gruben reciting the Lord’s Prayer in Gwich’in from 2 years ago. Frank has been missing for over 2 months now in or near Fort Smith, NT. It is our hope that we learn or understand what has happened to Frank soon. #JusticeForFrank m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

One of my mentors during my teenage years. Ken Laviolette of Fort Smith, NT - better known as “Outlaw”. A local business owner who has maintained his Indigenous ways and values while being outspoken for his people at the Salt River First Nation.

Prayers going out to Grand Chief Jackson Lafferty and the Tlicho Government for the fires that have approached Behchoko and Edzo. We pray that the situation will subside and that everyone is safe during this concerning time. K’egwaadhat Nakhwah Vili’ (God Bless You All)

A great week in Tsawwassen and Nisga’a Territory learning from them about their modern treaties

Hai’ (thanks) going out to all fire fighters and those working to keep roads open, create fire breaks, protect property, check on homes and people in the NWT along with those who are supporting evacuation centres in the Yukon and Alberta.

It is heartwarming to see and hear all of the kindness being shown this week in Alberta to those evacuating from the NWT. From free gas, meals, discounted hotel rooms, donations, people opening up their homes and farms - it is all so appreciated! Mahsi (thanks) #grateful

I was voted in 2020 to be the Grand Chief of our Nation to oversee and if required - protect our assets. I will continue to bring truth and transparency to our organization until my term is up in the summer of 2024.

It’s the money and the demand for drugs that brings this violence into our communities. Those that have loved ones engaged in these behaviours don’t help by continuing to make excuses for them. These dealers like to hide in plain sight. Good job RCMP for taking courageous action!

Designated Gwich’in organizations could face an RCMP investigation after a forensic audit said by Grand Chief Ken Kyikavichik to show financial mismanagement. cabinradio.ca/150474/news/po…

Vanh Gwiinzii, Pleased to release our Annual Report and Financial Statements for the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year that ended on March 31st. gwichintribal.ca/uploads/1/3/4/…

This week, we were reminded that the heartbreaking legacy of residential schools continues to live on to this day. Our collaborative work through the Yukon Forum to advance reconciliation and our shared priorities remains as important as ever.

Disappointing that this was rushed through this Legislative Assembly for political reasons. Despite advocating for public engagement and how this would immediately address discrimination of Indigenous residents in the NWT accessing programs and services, it was ultimately ignored

Pierre Poilievre & I were honoured to meet w Gwich'in Grand Chief Ken Kyikavichik & Nihtat Gwich’in Pres Kelly McLeod today. We had a great discussion & look forward to working together on many northern issues. Thank you Chief Ken & President Kelly! #inuvik #northwestterritories

Was nice to catch up with Elder Annie B. Gordon in Aklavik last week. I always appreciate her humour, her stories of her life and our Dinjii Zhuh history and values. #ProudToBeGwichin #DinjiiZhuh

The accident in Fort Smith yesterday is a traumatic event that I know the community will be banding together to get through. It is a resilient town made up of individuals and families who don’t give up. K’egwaadhat Nakhwah Vili’ (God Bless You All)

I attended the opening of the Northern Games and Dene Games Summit in Inuvik last night. It’s going to be a good week of learning and completion for the over 140 young athletes in the community
