Mskwaasin Agnew, Cree Dene of Salt River First Nation, arrives in Canada, greeted by the sound of the drum, a bouquet of flowers, hugs, and the gift of a blanket, from a large crowd of family, friends and loved ones.
Upon arrival, Mskwaasin was presented with an eagle feather for her bravery and courage, an eagle feather that traveled on the sacred staff for ten years with those speaking for murdered and missing Indigenous women.
"Palestinian people would die for their land. Our people would die for the land. We belong to the land. It's unmistakable, we would do anything for the land to stay on our land. No matter what," Mskwaasin said after being released from an Israeli torture prison, the Ktzi'ot prison in the Negev desert.
"There is still a genocide happening in Palestine, and my comrades are still in prison. We need to tell Canada to sanction Israel," said Mskwaasin, 33, a harms reduction worker, after arriving at the Toronto Pearson International Airport on Saturday.
