In praise of Anna Betty Achneepineskum’s Big Auntie Energy
It is the ability of some Indigenous women to persevere, to stand up and keep going, when no one else seems to be able to get it together. And Nishnawbe Aski Nation Deputy Grand Chief Anna Betty Achneepineskum embodies this spirit.
What the great-grandmother deals with on a given day would cower others. Consider her last two weeks, alone. On Mar. 6, Ms. Achneepineskum, who oversees the policing and justice files, travelled to Toronto to meet with the Ontario Provincial Police about their investigation into the multitude of Indigenous death cases still waiting to be properly addressed after systemic racism wassuspended Grand Chief Derek Fox pending a code-of-conduct inquiry.
She is uncomfortable when there’s a spotlight recognizing her for her work. “I would rather be the one clapping really hard when a woman is receiving a doctorate or succeeding,” she told me in an interview, conveying that acknowledgement – being seen – is important.
