Facebook shuts down IsKwé's personal account for not using her English name

Winnipeg musician Iskwé discovered her personal Facebook page was shut down on Thanksgiving Day. She was informed that the account would be reinstated only after providing the social media company with government ID.

IsKwé, whose traditional Cree name is Wasekwan Iskwew, also has an English name, Meghan Meisters. Her Facebook page has been restored under that name.

IsKwé, who restored the page for the sole purpose of having the conversation about the sudden shutdown on it, has since moved her social attention to Twitter and Instagram. You can read her final Facebook post below, originally posted on her personal page and reposted to her band page.
