Whoah!!! Calm down colonizer!!! The truth hurts, take some time and think about why you are having such a visceral reaction to it. The problem lies there, and not in the truth shared by Indigenous women and girls. #mmiwg

It's not bad enough Inuit were victims of generations of genocide & attacks on their cultures & languages, but people are unhappy she was only colonized in English instead of also colonized in French? Racist much? What happened to protecting Indigenous languages? Reconciliation?

Tip for media - when you include a picture of strong Indigenous woman leader, activist, advocate, commentator or community champion as part of your story - stop showing pics of her with male leader behind her. Our Indigenous women & girls are leaders in their own right.
