Never forget the blood of your people spilled on the prairie. The wolven figure, the raised palm, blazing alabaster on a field of Royal Blue. Gunfire and rebellion, bullets and mettle.

Don't ever forget what your ancestors fought for. Don't ever forget your roots.

What does it mean to be non-passing or ambiguous

I feel like I’ve confused some of u with my late posts about it! I boiled it down to hair and eye color but it’s so much more, for me it’s my facial features, my hooked nose, my jawline and cheekbones, my eyes, big cheeks, big eyebrows, etc.

It’s something I think about a lot, and today I read a conversation between non-passing bipoc where someone stated, how you know is how often you have to reaffirm to white people that you aren’t white.

British SaskatchAlbertaToba sounds good & fine except that in the song they call for freedom from forced bilingualism (& the gst) but like... Bro SaskatchAlbertaToba would definitely be run by the Métis nation. Michif IS bilingual & it’s only one language!
