Pride Month is about love, identity, and the right to live fully as who you are. It is a celebration of who we love and who we are, and of the people who hold space for us to live it fully.

Long before colonization, many Nations held Two-Spirit people in places of honour, respect, and ceremony. This month we celebrate Two-Spirit and 2SLGBTQIA+ peoples across First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities, and our settler relatives walking alongside them.
To every 2SLGBTQIA+ person in our communities and beyond: you are loved, you belong, and you are celebrated. 🏳️‍🌈🪶

June marks National Indigenous History Month, and for us at OneFeather, this month carries real significance.

The word "history" can feel like it points backward, but the truth is: our peoples, cultures, languages, and nations are not relics of the past. We are here. We are building. We are governing. We are innovating. History is still being made, every single day, by Indigenous peoples across this land.

This month, we celebrate the full scope of that story, the long past, the present, and everything still to come. This month and every month, we are honoured to stand alongside our peoples, Nations and communities doing this work.

Happy National Indigenous History Month. 🧡🪶

May 14 is Moose Hide Campaign Day, a day of collective commitment to ending violence against women and children across Turtle Island.

Right now, in Canada, the unacceptable is still happening. Nearly half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16. Spousal violence against Indigenous women is three times higher than against non-Indigenous women. These are people deeply loved by their families and communities — and this violence is completely preventable.

In 2011, Paul Lacerte and his daughter Raven were hunting for food along BC's Highway of Tears, a 725-kilometre stretch of road between Prince George and Prince Rupert, where so many women have gone missing or been murdered. Moved to act, they turned the moose hide into small squares to encourage men and boys to stand up against violence towards women and children. That act of love and grief grew into a national movement, with over seven million pins now shared across Canada.

The campaign recognizes that all forms of violence are unacceptable, and that engaging men and boys is essential to ending it. This is a movement for all of us to stand behind.

Every act of solidarity brings us closer to the change we need.

May 5 is Red Dress Day, also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S+).

In 2009, Métis artist Jaime Black hung empty red dresses in public spaces, the REDress Project. Each dress represented a missing or murdered Indigenous woman, girl, or Two-Spirit person, a visible, collective reminder of a crisis deeply felt across Indigenous communities.

That crisis is ongoing. The 2019 National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls produced 231 Calls for Justice, a roadmap for real change that families and communities are still waiting to see fulfilled. These are mothers, daughters, sisters, aunties, and relatives whose absence is felt deeply across Turtle Island.

Today we remember them. We hold their families in our hearts. We stand for justice in their honour.

Planning a vote takes preparation, coordination, and clear communication. When voting events run smoothly, they help build trust and support strong community decision-making.

In our latest blog guide, we share five tips to help Nations organize well-run voting events, including:

✔️ Planning earlier than you might expect
✔️ Keeping membership lists current
✔️ Choosing timing that supports participation
✔️ Organizing the vote around community priorities
✔️ Understanding team capacity and compliance needs

Every Nation’s process and priorities are unique, but thoughtful preparation can help make voting events clearer and easier for everyone involved—and it’s never too early to start.
