Opaskwayak Cree Nation Holds Mediation Circle for Social Media Case

Yesterday Opakswayak Cree Nation Held a mediation circle at the Kikiwak Inn that handled a serious incident that took place this past summer. Women from Flin Flon and Denare Beach made some racially insensitive comments towards indigenous peoples on social media in response to a car that had been vandalized.

 

The mediation circle was led by elder Irene Young an expert and Knowledge keeper that works within the justice system of MKO and also has experience in sentencing circles within Manitoba’s Justice System.

 

OCN Chief Christian Sinclair said in a news release that in a time where social media is easily accessible it’s important for everyone to understand there are consequences for what you choose to say online and inciting racist or hateful remarks is unacceptable.
