Kwey,

In the Anishinaabeg tradition it is a cultural practice to blacken one's face during the mourning process. This allows other people know how best to relate to the person during their process of mourning. Further, in the Anishinaabeg tradition it is understood that the human spirit in its anthropomorphic form moves through the heart. Morals take this same pathway through the heart. We all should be outraged about the immorality of sex discrimination in the Indian Act. Here is my latest blackface blog that takes up Senator Lillian Eva Dyck's call for more community people to take a stand on this issue.

In this blog I have added a short video clip of Senator McPhedran lobbying hard for "6(1)a All the Way!"

Go ahead and share and post this link on twitter, facebook, and all your social media devices. The goal is to keep this matter in our collective conscious. We all need to stand behind Sharon McIvor's United Nations ruling that asks Canada to eliminate the sex discrimination. 

Miigwetch, Lynn
