Idle No More Vision- http://www.idlenomore.ca excerpt:
"Currently, this government is trying to pass many laws so that reserve
lands can also be bought and sold by big companies to get profit from
resources. They are promising to share this time…Why would these
promises be different from past promises? We will be left with nothing
but poisoned water, land and air. This is an attempt to take away
sovereignty and the inherent right to land and resources from First
Nations peoples.
There are many examples of other countries moving towards
sustainability, and we must demand sustainable development as well. We
believe in healthy, just, equitable and sustainable communities and have
a vision and plan of how to build them.
Please join us in creating this vision."

In order to fulfill a promise made to her friend Matsii as she lay on her deathbed, MAÏNA has to follow the trail of her enemies to retrieve Nipki, Matsii’s 11-year-old son who has been captured by the Inuits.

Taking place before contact with Europeans, MAINA introduces us to two fascinating civilizations that founded America.

They are unknown in other branches of Buddhism.[2] Traditional prayer flags include woodblock-printed text and images."
