Kwey Kwey (Hello), My three days in court are over and we now await the decision. I am happy yet tired that this part of my process is complete. I understand that a decision can take as long as 6 months but I am hoping it will only take a few weeks. I will let people know as soon as I receive an update. Here is a link to the Honourable Elizabeth M. Stewart who presided over the Summary Judgement Hearing: http://www.law.utoronto.ca/about/brief-history/trailblazers-1970s/hon-elizabeth-stewart Here are some links to news coverage: http://www.cbc.ca/news/aboriginal/indian-status-why-lynn-gehl-s-court-challenge-matters-1.2806534 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/lynn-gehl-challenges-indian-status-denial-in-ontario-court-1.2805204 http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2014/10/20/woman_battles_ottawa_in_court_to_gain_indian_status.html http://www.mykawartha.com/news-story/4924684-woman-battles-ottawa-in-court-to-gain-indian-status/ http://aptn.ca/news/2014/10/20/lynn-gehls-indian-status-challenge-begins-toronto-court/ Here is a link to Dr. Pam Palmater’s blog analysis: http://indigenousnationhood.blogspot.ca/2014/10/lynn-gehl-v-canada-unstated-paternity.html Here is a link to the Women’s Legal and Education and Action Fund’s (Leaf) recognition of my work on this matter: http://www.leaf.ca/leaf-commemorates-persons-day-2014/ I want to say “thank you” to the people who have stood in front of me clearing the way, the people who walked with me directing me around the many walls and corners, and to the people who stood behind me pushing me forward. I am wondering − I would love some small beaded hearts − is there someone, or are there people out there who are willing to bead me a heart? I ask as this will help me deal with the social isolation I have lived with for the last 28 years. I am thinking 2 inch hearts at the widest part that are made out of hide. Of course full creative license belongs to the artist. If so, here is my address: Dr. Lynn Gehl 600 Little Street #5 Peterborough, Ontario K9J 4C3 CANADA Lastly please support this effort through purchasing my fundraiser book at this link (CANADA only please): http://www.lynngehl.com/my-3rd-book-mkadengwe.html Miigwetch! (Thank you) Lynn
