North and took up the challenge of a volunteer assignment with C.PP.S. Mission Projects in Central Tanzania. It was not an easy time for them.

the protest became the most powerful demonstration of Aboriginal identity in Canadian history. Thousands of Aboriginal people and their supporters took to the streets, shopping malls, and other venues, drumming, dancing, and singing in a collective voice.

The spirit of the protest lives on in empowered and confident young Aboriginal people who will help shape the future of this country for decades to come. 2015.Hiraeth (Inanna poetry & fiction series)

always possible-- and always necessary. It documents a journey of struggle that pertains to a dark point in Canadian history that few talk about and of which even fewer seem aware. Poems speak to the 1960's "scoop up" of children and how this affected the lives of (one or thousands) of First Nations and Métis girls-- girls who later grew to be women with questions, women with wounds, women who felt like they had no place to call home. That is, until they allowed themselves to be open to the courage others have lived and shared. "Hiraeth" is a word that is Celtic in origin and it means looking for a place to belong that never existed. But this place does exist--in the heart. 2018.Facing terror

By Timothy C Winegard. 2012
At the outbreak of the First World War, Canada’s First Nations pledged their men to the Crown to honour their…
long-standing tradition of forming military alliances with Europeans during times of war, and as a means of resisting cultural assimilation and attaining equality through shared service and sacrifice. Initially, the Canadian government rejected their offer, but in 1915, Britain intervened and demanded Canada actively recruit Indian soldiers. Winegard reveals how national and international forces directly influenced the more than 4,000 status Indians who voluntarily served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force between 1914 and 1919, and how subsequent administrative policies profoundly affected their experiences at home, on the battlefield, and as returning veterans. 2012.Foxe: voices of the martyrs
