A beader & cultural sewing specialist Auntie, showing me one of her wonderful #RibbonSkirts. The #Indigenous #loons pattern fabric seen here is no longer sold anywhere.

She made the hat worn in this photo too.

#SixtiesScoop #activist Katherine Strongwind called the move from #RCMP an “insult.”

She said there is “nothing #Indigenous about the RCMP.”

“They can hire Indigenous people but it doesn’t change their many #HumanRights violations and their continued role in #MMIWG. #RibbonSkirts are #sacred & not to be associated with #genocide,” she said, adding whoever thought of the idea should be fired.
