From one indigenous person to everyone out there, I’m happy I’m here with you all in this great country. The history may have terrible periods for my people but over the past few decades things are getting better. It is not perfect but to me it is moving in the right direction.
It’s not just a day to celebrate identity … it’s a celebration of how we are all becoming more inclusive of one another.
Chi-Meegwetch misiway.
It’s northern Ojibway-Cree and it means “thanks very much to you all”
And a big “merci” to you too my friend. Indigenous peoples are getting increasingly more representation everywhere and the crimes against its peoples are finally being talked about on the media and being recognized.
The next step is reparations.
As long as it is moving in positive directions … it’s always a good sign
