The Call Out:

FWD: You're invited to learn about teachings of the 8th Fire and how they relate to Idle No More with respected traditional Anishinaabe knowledge keeper Jim Dumont. Traditional Teacher Ojibway-Anishinabe, Waubezhayshee (Marten) Clan.

Jim Dumont is Onaubinisay (Walks Above the Ground), an Ojibway-Anishinabe of the Waubezhayshee (Marten) Clan. He is a 4th Degree Midewiwin of the Three Fires Midewiwin Lodge, originally from the Shawanaga First Nation on Eastern Georgian Bay.

Since 1970 Jim has pursued the cultural and spiritual roots of the traditional Anishinabe Way of Life.

Members of Cheyenne Fox's family are demanding that Toronto police fairly look into her sudden, tragic death at twenty years of age and treat it like a homicide -- challenging the all- too-familiar neglect by police departments to investigate any suspicious First Nations woman death or disappearance -- as asserted by Operation Thunderbird.

Cheyenne Fox was a member of the loon dodem from Sheguiandah First Nation in Ontario (Manitoulin Island) and is from a very politically active family. She is survived by a young son.
