If you’re shocked/appalled by this over reach - then you should understand that the federal government does this to sovereign Indigenous Nations routinely, and Canadians silently and complicity consent to it. In our Treaties, Canada 🇨🇦 is not above us & cannot make Laws for us.

Does anyone near Saskatoon have willows on their land - we need about 16-18 tall ones to build a sweatlodge for doctors this weekend. Under our Treaty we are supposed to be able to go anywhere in our Territory, but Native folks tend to get shot in Saskatchewan 😢Allies?

I routinely hug my patients. The Nehiyô medical system is based in love, sahkitowin ❤️ In western medicine that may be “unprofessional” or crossing a boundary. In Nehiyawewin this is not a pastahowin (crossing a boundary), but part of being human with another human in need.

A little clip from before the game. Come on ⁦Edmonton Oilers⁩ All of us kids, ⁦Janice Makokis⁩ Candace, Edward, Sammi all helped out ❤️❤️❤️ We love our dads and they deserve this and so much 🥰 youtu.be/AIxVqKx91XU?si…

Reconciliation is not Justice. Reconciliation does not fund Indigenous Peoples to have dedicated time to learn our languages (like resources given to the French language). Reconciliation does not give our #LandBack. It does not rebuild our Nations dismantled through 🇨🇦 law.

As an update. My nephews friend recently asked him what non-binary was when they were riding in the car. He quickly explained this to her in 30 seconds 👌🏾 Education and inclusion pays off ❤️ and costs nothing, but does make the world a better place. 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ Janice Makokis

Just wanted to share a beautiful moment captured during one of our ceremonies dedicated to making it safe for two spirit, trans, and queer youth relations and their families ❤️ This is another branch of “medicine” I practice not in a typical “clinical setting.”
