Week 10: Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, Inuit Perspectives I found myself very relieved to finally discuss the murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls in Canada, a topic that receives devastatingly little attention in the mainstream media. When thinking about this journal article, I automatically knew that I wanted to contribute to Metis artist Jaime Black’s (2014) REDress project, which was started as a way to build attention to the realities of the missing and…

access to healthcare for everyone. They argue that the current system is working well, and that may be the case for them, but for those who cannot afford the current cost of insurance, the current system is flawed.

A great deal of research in…

throughout my life. Several of them seemed important as I was going through them, but after having time to reflect on them I realized that a good amount of them weren’t as important as they seemed. When I step back and look at the big picture, I gain perspective that helps me sort the less meaningful things from the stuff that actually matters. I’ve noticed that many people often become absorbed into a superficial mindset and I don’t see many people having deep conversations. As I walk down…
