My heart goes out to the family of Cindy Gladue. Reading this makes me sad. I was under the impression that as human beings we had evolved, I guess not. Well written, very thought provoking, we can see how much you care for your partner. Beautifully written. And sad. This makes me remember the Jane Elliott program I saw a few years ago on racism. One of the best programs I have ever seen. Tho i do not know any of my Native American relatives i was raised by the African American side of my family other than my late Great Grandmother I feel you and your pain.
This saddens me in the deepest way. I myself am white, with metis Decent. My children are all first nations. My husband as well.
It comes from all folks. I was raised to never see colour or listen to stereotypes But to always love the person end of story. I wish we would just let go of it all and live in harmony loving each other….

In a perfect world I suppose. Our city, though small is greatly affected by racism. We have missing and murdered aboriginal woman who were linked to a man who has his name on a school! Being a new business owner has proven to be challenging and sometimes discouraging because some customers see my face and immediately decide to go with another company.
Typical Etobicoke man
I have a career and do well for myself in life, I too pay taxes. Despite it all I keep faith in the many positive people who are open and accepting of people regardless of their race.

There are still genuinely kind people in this world! I will pray for justice, keep spreading the word and raising awareness of issues we face! Miigwetch White Thunder Bird Woman. I feel so terrible for the loss of a mom for those poor babies, and dignity for this man who was made less than a cat by reporters and society in general. I also feel terrible for all of native society, yes we are all the dirty lazy welfare Indian first alll so mean and crazy when I stand up for myself, as I have to continually all lot work. Crazy, i dont understand what , why or how this is ok.
Or how someone is murdered and murderer walks away because we are less than. As I read the story my heart cries out, my God when does this stop?
When does Reconciliation begin? When will our people be supported by Canadians by the UN???

This racial profiling matter needs to be addressed and to be brought to attention. This national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women needs to be birthed and fought hard for. I hope together we can just respect one another regardless of anything and one day… One day we can bring our sisters home. Thank you for sharing and I can certainly relate as many others can. This is a powerful and well thought article. God bless us aboriginals across the country, Hiy Hiy! Thank you writer for your story I cried n prayed.

As a privledged white male myself I am all too aware of how easy many things in my life are because of my background. I have very close friends that are First Nations people, so it is very offensive to hear these untruths told time and time again. I wonder why people can not look at the causes of these social issues that are affecting these people.
The causes are numerous, and most were caused by our ancestors. I feel so choked up about these types of injustices. Thank you for sharing this story, your partner matters to me, she is a shining star of hope. Love and blessings. I am a first Nations woman. My skin is very fair and often get mistaken as maybe Irish or French. I often have been made fun of, and the person doing it was a co worker woman, thinking that is okay! Sad we are still discriminated against and made fun of all the time. This was an amazing view of the truth.
We need to keep sharing our stories. I wish you and your partner all the happiness and good fortune in the world! All the ills of the world are also in Canada. We pretend that racism, sexism, ageism,elitism, police brutality, militarism, legalized theft, tax havens, etc. Despair is an awful place to visit and finding a supportive, fun group or community or just a few great friends is a life-enhancing support. I think smart Supreme Court judges are saving a few of us, too. Good luck, be strong. I like how well you wrote the article, English was one of my strongest subjects and I hope to improve it more.
I also like to say thank you for sharing your story it is a strong one. I started to feel angry and sad since I read that site and what people were saying about us aboriginals, since reading this I feel empowered and a little better.
Keep Reading
I really do hope something gets resolved on the missing and murdered aboriginal woman cause I am aboriginal and it scares me to have to watch my back all the time, especially in the big cities like Saskatoon. Thank you again for sharing.
We all bleed red! Your story is the real…. I have read all the horrendous stories but Cindy Gladue really brought it home for me. I think because she was raped to death in this physical world and the court court her again in spirit. Evie, I thank you for your much needed words of truth. Far too many non First Nation do not see us as Humans and many times fail us. We are a strong people and we will continue to fight and strive in this world. My heart and prayers go out to ALL First Nations that continue to struggle and my prayers will be offered for those that will some day change their views of us.
Happy Birthday to your wife and God Bless you both.
