Today, we celebrate and honour the legacy of Louis Riel, a visionary Metis leader who helped forge the Metis Nation. His contributions to our nation and resilience in the face of unimaginable hardships cannot be overstated, and are an inspiration to Metis across the homeland.

Today we remember those who have served and those who have given their lives to our country. We also honour the families of those who have served Canada and those who continue to serve today. #SenCA #LestWeForget #RemembranceDay

Elder Norman Fleury, my Michif teacher who has been instrumental in revitalizing our language, provided simultaneous interpretation of my speech into English.

Yesterday, I delivered my statement in the Senate Chamber in Michif, the language of the Metis Nation. I hope this historic occasion will show Michif children across the Homeland that there is a place for them in every decision-making space, even the Senate of Canada.

It was great to be interviewed by Antje Passenheim from ARD German Radio to talk about the issue of forced and coerced sterilization of Indigenous women in Canada, what is being done to stop this practice, and my Bill S-250. #SenCA
