Huy ch q’u (thank you) to those who support the indigenous communities and actively decolonize their minds and spirits.

Ways to support indigenous communities:

* Recommended Readings:

⁠⁠https://ojibwe.net/resources/⁠⁠

- ”Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer

- Any books written by an indigenous author about the Indian Act, eg, “First Nations 101” by Lynda Gray

* To learn the unceded land you are on:

* Ask yourself…

Who are the hereditary chiefs or elected council members of that nation?

What language do they speak?

What does this nation represent?

Where does their name come from?

Are these your teachings to share?

* I recommend you find Facebook events which are supporting the nation; there are many, especially around Orange Shirt Day, September 30th.

* DO NOT purchase traditional medicines from outlet stores, gift shops or any location where it is unclear if these profits are taking away from Indigenous people. Similarly, avoid events that monetize stolen teachings. If they do not have permission, this is cultural appropriation.
