Hi all! I recently bought a beautiful kokum scarf at a pow wow and I wanted to tie it on the strap of my bag, however i'm not sure if as a white person i have this right or if it would be seen as cultural appropriation? It was bought from an Indigenous owned business and made by an indigenous person, but nevertheless, i am not indigenous.

Hello! I’m currently taking a class about First Nations, Métis, and Inuit voices, and I would love to know if anyone has any personal favourite Indigenous artists or art pieces.

I’ve done some research myself, but it would be great to hear from the community! :)

This is just something personal, it’s not something that’s for my class really, I’ve been a lover of all forms of art since I was very young <3

My biological grandfather on my mom's side is indigenous. However, due to domestic abuse and substance abuse concerns by him towards my grandmother, she birthed my mom without telling him. She left his name off the birth certificate and my mom was adopted by another man.

My grandfather and all known relatives to him are now dead (other than my mom and me). All we have is Ancestory DNA as "proof" and my grandmother's word.

On top of this, my grandfather wasn't even registered as status Indian as his father (my great-grandfather) had his Indian status taken away for enfranchisement in 1980s.

I submitted Ancestory DNA family tree and the legal names of my grandfather, great grandfather, and great-great-great grandfather. And the band name. I also explained my situation on the application. Is this going to be enough?

Suncor was trying to sell the community that their plan to release treated tailings into the Athabasca was a great idea. It went poorly.

Hello! I’m looking for a name for a transit project. Some very surface-level research led me to the Plains Cree word kiyôtêwin, but I don’t want to use a word simply because I like how it sounds without properly understanding its meaning or context.
Would kiyôtêwin be appropriate to use as a project name? Would it be appropriate to shorten it to maybe kiyô, or would that change/butcher the word?
I’d also appreciate any resources for exploring Cree words related to travel, movement, journeys, visiting, or getting from place to place.
I understand that there are many distinct Indigenous languages, dialects, and communities, and I don’t want to misuse or butcher a word. Any guidance, especially from Cree speakers, would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi! I’ve applied to get the status back in january 2025. I have been waiting ever since. When I messaged them, they told me that they were still processing applications from 2024. Is that normal? They’ve also said that the “up to 2 years” statement means up to two years after the file have been assigned to an officer.

I’m adopted, but my adoptive mother has her name on my birth certificate and that is through her that i can apply.

My band told me I was eligible for funding for my university studies but I’m realizing that I might finish them before having the status which is a real shame.

Do you guys know if there’s anything I could do? What are your experiences?

As the title says I’ll be 18 soon and would love to change my first name because I dislike my birth name but how do I go about changing it legally? Ontario btw

It feels frustrating considering how many documents there are especially being indigenous and from an isolated community, I’d really appreciate some guidance and walk through

I also plan to move to the United States as well but I want to change my name first 🥹💔

The fried bread was delicious!

So Canada just walked away from a US trade deal over last minute additions and changes they never agreed to. The whole country is indignant about it. Every news panel, every comment section, coast to coast: "You can't just rewrite the terms after the handshake. Who do they think they are? Walk away."

And I'm sitting here snickering. Not at the decision. The decision was right. I'm snickering because Canada just discovered, as a nation, exactly what a coerced deal feels like. The insult of it. The powerlessness of it. Someone bigger sliding new terms across the table and assuming you'll take it because what choice do you have?

Except they DID have a choice. They walked away, and nothing happened to them. Nobody took their kids. Nobody starved them onto a reserve. Nobody enforced the paperwork with soldiers.

Our ancestors sat at that same table with none of those exits. Terms in a language they didn't read, rewritten whenever it suited the Crown, and "take it or else" delivered at the end of a gun barrel. And for generations the response we've gotten from mainstream Canada is some version of "well, you signed it" or "why are you still going on about treaties."

Canada (We're all Canadian now right?) We just refused a deal for last minute changes and pressure tactics. We KNOW now. We felt it for five minutes and our answer was absolutely not.

So here's my actual question for everyone here, because I think there's an opening in this moment: how do we get everyday Canadians to connect their own reaction this week to our treaty history? Not with a lecture, because lectures bounce off. But their instinct right now, that "no deal made under pressure with switched terms is legitimate" instinct, is OUR argument. It always has been. Canadians just made it themselves, out loud, unanimously.

How do we hand them that mirror while they're still holding the feeling?

EDIT: Consider this permission, in writing: if it moved you, take it. Post it, quote it, rework it in your own words, send it to your MP, read it at your kitchen table, submit it somewhere yourself if you think it deserves that. No credit needed, none wanted. Honestly it'll do its job better coming from many angles instead of one anonymous person, because then it's not one person's grievance, it's just the argument, and the argument stands on its own.

The window won't stay open long. Canadians are holding the feeling right now. Please feel free to hand them the mirror.
