@aptnnews reporting in their daily News Brief of January 7 that "Russian authorities have reportedly searched the home of at least 17 Indigenous leaders, arresting some, accusing all of participating in terrorism".

The #Anishnabe community of #Kitsicakik in northwestern #Quebec will have access to #electricity after 50 years. It is one of the last communities in the country to be without power and it cost $35 million to accomplish.

The federal elections leaders debate is happening now and I am amazed that APTN is broadcasting a live translated event in Plains Cree.

I speak my James Bay Mushkegowuk Cree dialect fluently and I can understand about 50% of the broadcast and it's beautiful.

It would be like an English speaking person in Canada listening to a heavily inflected English with a Scottish or Irish accent.

Several organizations providing shelter services for homeless people in Montreal say that the number of Indigenous people without a safe place to stay is on the rise. The issue is that temperatures are beginning to drop.

Some people are resorting to using creative ways to stay warm.
