Hey there News River readers,

Here's what you may have missed in the news lately:

• A Cree woman from Maskwacis, AB leads the Red Ribbon Skirt Project which aims to sew 100 ribbon skirts for families of MMIWG.

• The Lytton First Nation opened its Community Store – a huge step for the community still rebuilding from devastating fires 19 months ago. 

• Djab Wurrung, Gunnai and Gunditjamara senator for Victoria, Lidia Thorpe, started the new parliamentary year by cutting ties with the Greens party and committing to a black sovereignty-focused movement.
