UBCIC is devastated that Lee Maracle, groundbreaking FN author and activist passed away last night. Lee was a trailblazer and force of energy. We will miss her dearly and send prayers to her family including Lee's sister Joan Phillip and brother in law Grand Chief Stewart Phillip

“@JustinTrudeau’s arrogant dismissal of @Tkemlups invitatation represents a 'slap in the face' to all IRS Survivors. Especially grieving families of the children that never came home. If this event was before the election; Trudeau would be there on both knees!” -GCSP

UBCIC demands @CBCKids to take down this article. This appalling question is patronizing and offensive, uses outdated language in regards to Indigenous Title & Rights, and opens the doors to racist & anti-Indigenous sentiments. cbc.ca/kidsnews/post/…

UBCIC is horrified by the President of the Canadian Police Association’s callous disregard for Indigenous lives. Stamatakis racist tweet demonstrates an unfortunate truth – Indigenous people must avoid interactions with the police if they want to live. #justiceforchris

It is unacceptable at every level that the contempt and racism by Marina Sapozhnikov cannot be walked back by her party leader @JohnRustad4BC. This abhorrent behaviour cannot be rewarded or ignored.

“To announce on today of all days that Rustad will continue his crusade to repeal DRIPA is astonishingly reprehensible. This "plan" will set us back decades and will continue to pit FNs against other British Columbians. This is not reconciliation.” GC Stewart Phillip #bcpoli
