This is the letter I wrote to the government of Canada, asking them to stop discriminating against First Nations children and families on reserves, and asking them to stop taking First Nations children from their loving families. All the research is from the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, whose website is here: https://fncaringsociety.com
You can read the following letter and please, please, even if you don’t live in Canada send a letter of your own, either using this letter as a template or in your own words:

A young mother knows that the people who control her land will take her baby from her.
This is what happens to children sometimes. The rich and powerful need a new slave that they can bend and mold to their will sometimes, one they can keep in the intimate confines of their mansions. And it's so easy to break a child if you raise said child.

In a world where potions and magic can exist, is a race called Liya. Creatures who bore the image of humans but have a special power... they can predict the future. However, each Liya had a limit to their ability, but when honed, they can reach limits a regular human won't even dream of touching.
Rehenna, a Liya in the peaceful kingdom of Phir, lived in isolation safe from harm. Her only friend, her personal Knight, Jui. Jui always asked her to look into his future, but Rehenna had always said she couldn't.
It was a lie. In his future, was war. She couldn't stop it from coming no matter what she did.
When rumors of Liyas being kidnapped, and a war coming to all kingdoms, it all goes wrong when an intruder steals Rehenna away...
And Jui watches her die right in front of his eyes.
