Another week in Indigenous news + our latest partner launch
Hey there News River readers,
Here's what you may have missed in the news lately:
- A Cree woman from Maskwacis, AB leads the Red Ribbon Skirt Project which aims to sew 100 ribbon skirts for families of MMIWG.
- The Lytton First Nation opened its Community Store – a huge step for the community still rebuilding from devastating fires 19 months ago.
- Djab Wurrung, Gunnai and Gunditjamara senator for Victoria, Lidia Thorpe, started the new parliamentary year by cutting ties with the Greens party and committing to a black sovereignty-focused movement.
🚨 Launch Alert 🚨
We are pleased to announce the launch of our latest partner website, RISE: Queer Teacher Education!
This site exists to assist educators with providing welcoming, respectful, and inclusive learning environments to support 2SLGBTQ+ students and families, plus an emphasis on Indigiqueering education, which incorporates Indigenous knowledges and understandings of sexuality and gender.
