Update: now 66 inches (5 1/2 feet) in Orchard Park. That includes 7 inches of snow in just one hour. The heaviest snow has shifted a bit south for now...but that could change. #BuffaloStorm2022 #LakeEffectSnow
Orchard Park is now up to *59 inches* of snow as of 6 pm EST (just under 5 feet), adding another 5 inches in the last couple hours. Still a lot more to come in the Southtowns, as long as the band holds up. #LakeEffect #NYwx #BuffaloStorm2022

Lacrosse is back at @TheWorldGames! 🥍 The competition gets underway today, and will feature a historical appearance from the Haudenosaunee, a Native American tribe that actually invented the sport thousands of years ago. 🤯 📷 Photo credit: The World Games

Pope Francis should come bearing “gifts” on his Papal apology tour - all of Turtle Island’s sacred items held in the Vatican Museum’s secret vault, would be a start. Below is an Algonquin, Nipissing and Kanehsatà:ke wampum belt from 1831. New from me: theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Cuz a bunch of kids in fringe chanting “scalp ‘em Indians, scalp ‘em” is honor, right? And any Natives who attend @pngisd should prolly just accept their classmates dehumanizing them cuz “tradition”, right? Shame on @DisneyParks hosting this. Nostalgic racism is RACISM.

A $128-million renovation to St. Michael's Cathedral Basilica in Toronto was completed in September 2016, one year after the Catholic Church told a judge that $3.9 million was all they could raise for residential school survivors. cbc.ca/1.6294008

When bringing Native students away from their communities into the college setting, they need a unique support system that not only is attentive to their academic needs but one that respects, honors, and celebrates their Indigenous identity as well.
