Opaskwayak Cree Nation released and official statement yesterday that they quote stand in solidarity with all communities across Turtle Island that are voicing anguish, anger, and deep frustration with systems that oppress and devalue black lives.

The statement also pointed out that OCN has lived with deep separation from neighbours living in The Pas and it’s from their place of inequality that they were inspired to begin the process of dismantling this divide.

OCN will continue to fight inequality and the ideology of supremacy that disconnects us from one another and educate others along the way.
