Ingrid N. The Final Chapter Pt 1

Continuing with the comments made in my previous post:

On the afternoon of April 2, 2012 I ran into Ingrid at the front entrance and I personally told her "Someone doesn't like you there's serious allegations written about you in my blog, you should read it"  then I turned and walked away.   This is her opportunity to speak up but she never posted a comment in her defense, no phone call, no knock on the door to talk...nothing.  Communication it's a wonderful thing, without communication disputes cannot be resolved.  Ingrid's inaction and unwilling to speak for herself....raised a red flag.
I have no idea why UNH's keeps her here perhaps it’s out of pity or that nobody else wants the job.  The woman has been here since day one but she’s getting on in years, she looks miserable, frail, haggard and Anonymous has a point about Ingrid’s mental faculties I’ve noticed flaws in her decision making and her judgement is impaired.  18 months ago I filed an e-mail complaint about her to the Director. 
UNH's listen up.....we need someone who’s open, energetic, vibrant, experienced and willing to get out there and do what the job requires and to understand that urban Natives are unique some of us have our own code of ethics and won’t be subjugated.

Poor Working Environment

My unit is located near the KMHC office, along with a friendly wave or hello I see the junior staff going about their business in a cheerful manner with the exception of one employee.   You would think KMHC has a pleasant working environment but that is not the case.   March 2016 is when Urban Native Homes head office was forced to move from their former spacious location to the cramp basement level of KMHC.   There were approx. 8-10 staff members at the time.   Then the Urban Native Homes financial scandal broke out and soon after the current UNH acting director’s illicit past became public knowledge, everyone was worried will they have a job.  Fearful meetings going on in the community room, the rumor mill was in full rotation while I just stood back and observed the panic.   Check your search engine it states this building location is Urban Native Homes head office yet that is not correct.  There is no real head office, the organization has s...

The Passing of Dean King

There's not many original KMHC tenants left that I know, last week I got word tenant Dean King passed away, we were not related and I remember when he moved in the building we got along well, we hung out often and he shared stories about his life and family. Eventually I notice he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the drawer and I started drifting away thus ended our friendship. Dean didn't have the usual addictions most male aboriginals endure he didn't drink or do drugs the problem was his mental state which I believe began after an auto accident years before.  After I moved out of KMHC I'd often see him standing in line at the food bank in Gore Park in downtown Hamilton or hanging out with street friend Galina in Jackson Square food court. He didn't have many friends and other KMHC tenants just tolerated and accepted his strange behavior. He'd walk the streets looking disheveled and lost.  When I received the news Dean died I didn't feel sad I felt surpri...

Sandy Holland

On February 27th 2025 I heard the passing of tenant Elder Sandy Holland. I knew she was in bad health and said to her friend she's ready to go.  I met her years ago when she moved to KMHC she seem a bit daffy yet in a nice way, never spoke mean about others but had strong opinions about UNH staff. We would meet at UNH dinner functions and meetings and always offered me hug. She never got personal sharing her life stories with me which I can respect. RIP
