Kwey Kwey, As many know I have been on a long journey to end the sex discrimination in the Indian Act regarding the issue of unknown and unstated paternity. It has been 32 years. While I lost at the Superior Court Level, I won at the Ontario Court for Appeal Level. Despite this win, I was then faced with a new form of sex discrimination. It is clear that Canada refuses to live up to its Charter values when it comes to Indigenous women. Throughout this time I learned how to read and write and I also obtained a Ph.D. in Indigenous Studies. My dissertation was on the Algonquin land claims process. Through these processes I learned about Canada’s Land Claims Policy and the evil intent of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and the Department of Justice. Recently, on April 17, 2018 I was introduced to the Senate along with other women who have worked for over a half of a century to remove the sex discrimination in the Indian Act. After this, Senator Marilou McPhedran hosted the Famous Six event where Jeannette Corbiere-Lavell, Yvonne Bedard, Senator Sandra Lovelace, Sharon McIvor, Senator Lillian Dyck, and myself were honoured for our never-ending endurance as we carry on the legacy of many Indigenous women before us ‒ such as Mary Two Axe Early ‒ who have worked way too hard to end of sex discrimination. In my journey moving through Canada’s court system, which I did with little institutional support and little funds, I have found the backlash and isolation the most difficult. What I have learned about this backlash and isolation is that it is in part created through the current racist, sexist, and economic paradigm where everyone is dependent on an employer and their politics and agendas. For example, many Indigenous women’s organizations are dependent on INAC and the Minister of the Status of Women funding where they must comply or lose their organizational funding and possibly even lose their employment positions. Melodie McCullough and Monica Vida wish to serve my continued effort as well as create a safe and sage place for me to receive the much needed social mirroring a person needs to stay healthy. I am truly grateful for this. Community helpers and people willing to stand up are so important. They are planning an event for me to talk and share about my 32 year journey through Canada's court and parliamentary system only to fail in the end through the Liberal government’s co-optation of feminism. The date is May 29 from 7-9. Here is the link to the Eventbrite page. You must purchase a ticket and with this ticket you will receive a copy of my book titled “Claiming Anishinaabe: Decolonizing the Human Spirit”. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/when-canada-targeted-indigenous… Here is the link to the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/journeymagazineptbo/photos/gm.222740408308891/1690889504279740/?type=3&theater Attached is a poster. I am looking forward to sharing the intimate details of my court process, being an expert witness for both the Senate and the House of Commons, and watching Bill S 3 pass through parliament: the ups and downs, ins and outs, and deep insights will give me great thought until the time comes when I pass through the Western Doorway. Until then I do have the need and desire for the medicine of good and understanding listening people, people with intelligent hearts that value that not all knowledge is nice and fun, people who value that cognitive dissonance is a personal ritual of their much needed learning journey. I will share images of the Famous Six celebration event, my blanket, and other items that I was gifted with. Subjugated knowledge moves in a different way then what you may think is the correct way.
