Linking threats to Canadian children from mass graves at residential schools to the Islamophobia

The main purpose of the Indigenous and Muslim Education Seminar is to present why the federal government set up the Residential School for Indigenous children, allowed the horror to knowingly take place, and further continued wrong-doings of oppression through which Indigenous Peoples are affected by to this day.

The first step in correcting any wrong is to be aware – a history we need to acknowledge. This seminar will enlighten us with the history of Residential schools, their impact on us as Canadians, and how we can help treat these scars of intergenerational trauma. Meanwhile, this discussion may also help us to understand why Muslims are the new “othered” ethnicity in Canada. Why Islamophobia is on a rise and what remedies can be taken to provide our children with a better and more secure future.

She is a strong proponent of social justice and female leadership. She has worked with the Indigenous women - whom she considers to be her “sisters and daughters” - has helped with the Reconciliation Process in Winnipeg.

Her leadership is commendable, given Winnipeg is possibly the most racially polarized city in the country, with the highest urban Indigenous population of 95,000 or 12% in total.
