I paid over 240.00 on a room for a medical appointment. They won't accept status cards, and you have to pay extra for wifi.

I love this quote! It is widely quoted online, but the actual source is elusive.

• This CBC article, and many other places, suggests that it's from Medicine Walk, but I can't find it there.
• Someone pointed me towards Embers: One Ojibway's Meditations, but I can't find it there either.

Please help me find the actual source!

>“All that we are is story. From the moment we are born to the time we continue on our spirit journey, we are involved in the creation of the story of our time here. It is what we arrive with. It is all we leave behind. We are not the things we accumulate. We are not the things we deem important. We are story. All of us. What comes to matter then is the creation of the best possible story we can while we’re here; you, me, us, together. When we can do that and we take the time to share those stories with each other, we get bigger inside, we see each other, we recognize our kinship – we change the world, one story at a time…” ― Richard Wagamese

We are not angry enough! People need to stop treating indigenous women and girls so horribly. Whoever did this needs to be held accountable!

If I were to use my status card to pay a renovation to a non status family friend as a gift, is this legal?

Hi hi everybody, I know this probably a question better suited for my band council/leaders but I was just wondering if anyone knows the basic steps/process of how one would go about getting any post secondary education covered?

I know it's always brought up but I'm not actually sure how one goes about it, I figure it's a lot of double checking, applying, stuff like that.

Also do you know if it covers a wide variety of education options? Cause I was potentially looking into this ship/marine safety course: https://ce.georgiancollege.ca/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1030808#courseSectionDetails_4572403 to pursue a cruise ship career/job, and obviously having any amount of the fees would definitely help things along.

Thanks in advanced for any info ya's can provide. Take care :)

Looking for any insight or advice. My partners band has recently received a settlement and was paid out to members a couple weeks ago. He has not done his registration yet, as his parents (for some reason) only had gotten his brother and sisters done in their teens. But we now have filled out everything needed to submit his application (we’ve gone over every single part of the application carefully to ensure everything was correct) we included his dads number and he has been in contact with his band and they ensured us he is still entitled as well as our kids as long as we have at least his registration completed within a year. They have also provided us with all the settlement papers and the agreement. We have printed everything in case needed, as well as photo copied his dads status card and license (just in case it’s needed for any further confirmation) my partner can also go in office to submit forms and he also has filled out all the guarantor forms and has someone who meets all qualifications and has known him for 9 years sign the forms and pictures. Our biggest obstacle is he does not have valid photo id but has applied to get a new one sent as well and has the blue card and a picture of his Id that expired not long ago and as well a new health card but also has his old one just in case, and we have his long form birth certificate. Just wondering if anyone has any advice on if there is anyway we are able to get this put through faster or at least before the year would be up? (He doesn’t need his status card just to be registered) i only ask as I know it can take up to 2 years. His band office is very willing to help us in any way they can as well, it’s just of course we know there is a process that is followed and are aware we should’ve been getting this done long ago but as parents to 3 super young kiddos it slipped our minds until we were told we need to get it done asap.. so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
