This year has seen the largest number of Aboriginal deaths in custody since records began in 1980.
This is a national shame and tragedy.
How many more First Nations people will die before the federal government acts?

If someone knits or crochets you a blanket or sweater, they want to keep you warm AND they dedicated many hours of their lives to making it for you.
There's no profit in fiber arts, not when you can get a machine made at Target for 30 bucks. So know fiber artists making for you? Is an act of love.
