-- "In Haudenosaunee culture, seed songs or chants have been a way to welcome babies. For other Indigenous peoples in North America, lullabies are a way to calm both mother and baby, and other songs for children pass on important lessons. Among her favourites is a story about two orphaned sisters who shapeshift into different natural beings and elements finally becoming thunder and lightning." --

-- "One in 10 aboriginal children now lands in foster care, compared to one in 200 for non-aboriginal children, the AFN said. There are currently three times as many children in foster care as there were in residential schools." --
Gotta keep that money flowing...
-- "Ontario will spend $100 million over the next three years on a long-term strategy to end violence against indigenous women." --
