I dedicated my latest column to the memory of my life partner, my friend, my mentor, my everything - Mike McGrath. He not only meant so much to me, he was a great positive influence on so many people. #indigenous #firstnations #attawapiskat #love #friendship #nishnawbe #mushkegowuk

By Xavier Kataquapit I lost the love of my life Michael McGrath this past Sunday December 28, 2025. He was a bright light that shone for so many people in our families but also in a circle of friends that seemed to span the world. Mike was born and raised in Iroquois Falls into a grand Irish Canadian family that originated from the Ottawa valley. His mother Emily McGrath imparted in him her kind and gentle spirit, and his grandmother Margaret Dunn, whom everyone knew as Granny, guided and influenced his life.
A short doc produced by Legal Advocates For Nature's Defence to highlight 'Here We Stand', a land protest led by my cousin James Kataquapit and his family ... more specifically by James' son Jeronimo Kataquapit. Proud to see my cousins James and his brother David Kataquapit in this production.
