I am just going to mention about the Turtle Island. Turtle Island is not creation story of the West Coast as far as I know because there were no turtles here...(I may be wrong) so I found that a bit confusing but the whole concept is really beautiful and we had such wonderful conversations with everyone.  

And Attawapiskat I have a surprise for you!!

Be Sure to Check the schedule. I blew it, I missed seeing some people today :(
So much to see and do.  We are going back on July 1. It's my #Resistance150 as I am not celebrating that other holiday this year...I just can't, not after everything I have learned. But I had a lovely chat today with someone and they told my how their spouse came here from a war ravaged country and they really love Canada and this persons life wouldn't be the same, so for each of us we must find our way...most important thing is Respect and Love each other. 

These were posted there and I photographed them but you need to check the schedule on the website to make sure its up to date.



Okay I am posting this, if you haven't been credited I apologize but I didn't get everyone's name but I am happy to add anything here so please reach out to me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram or even email zipolita@gmail.com
