The Macleans article on racism in Winnipeg.
For decades, the friendly Prairie city has been known for its smiling, lefty premiers, pacifist, Mennonite writers and a love affair with the Jets. Licence plates here bear the tag “Friendly Manitoba.” But events of last fall served to expose a darker reality. The Manitoba capital is deeply divided along ethnic lines. It manifestly does not provide equal opportunity for Aboriginals. And it is quickly becoming known for the subhuman treatment of its First Nations citizens, who suffer daily indignities and appalling violence. Winnipeg is arguably becoming Canada’s most racist city.

Young Indigenous Leaders to Watch (CBC)
We’re just a couple weeks into 2015 and already we’re catching wind of some young indigenous folks making great strides this year. They’re community organizers, big thinkers and creative types. We’ll be watching these movers and shakers and others just like them in the coming year.
So if you’re wavering on New Year’s resolutions, looking for some inspiration, or seeking some dynamic people to follow on Twitter, read on.

Such questions might have been resolved had the Department bothered to interview Richard concerning his Indian ancestry, as it had an affirmative duty to do. We will not rely on Richard’s representations when the Department manifestly failed to exercise due diligence and the record contains no communication from the Hoopa Valley Tribe regarding Richard’s membership or the children’s eligibility.
Here. Addie Smith of NICWA will be doing the presentation, which is a very good thing.
