Makes me wonder…

…why we’re focusing on the rights of trans people (they’ve got rights), when the Highway of Tears, The Starlight Tours, the bodies of children, the unclean drinking water. We need to get our priorities straight as a nation. Question everything, elitists run the show, and they don’t care about any one of us, unless you’re one of them. Native rights to be truly respected is long, long long overdue. What an embarrassment as a Canadian.

Wow :(

The investigative reporting/journalism may have been some of the best I have heard. Though I did not know that these occurrences were happening just north of the MN border in CA. The racism and hate that the First Nation people are experiencing in Thunder Bay is unacceptable and disgusting. If there were a way that I could help I would. Not an easy listen. But you have to.

Fantastically done podcast

I’m sitting here in my living room ugly crying after listening to the last episode of season 2. Thank you for bringing light to such an important issue and telling all these very important and extremely heart wrenching stories of indigenous people to compel and effect much needed change.
