Blogger, Artist, Social Media, Web Designer, Photographer- I blog about nouns-people, places and things, even when it's negative I try to put a positive spin on it. @tinawinterlikfb https://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com
"What I would like to see is people with [traditional] knowledge to teach
the small, little people how to grow up with pride. This generation is
lost. My generation is lost − they're assimilated. They don't think like
an Indian.
What I'd like to see is our five-year-olds being taught
their language, their songs, their games, their spirituality, their
Indian, eh, their Indian-ness.
'd like to ask all the people out there
to reclaim their culture − practice it, teach the children, and let's
reclaim our backbone, our culture and put some pride in our children" Harriet Nahanee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Nahanee
Harriet Nahanee also known as Tseybayotl[1] (December 7, 1935[2] – February 24, 2007) was an Indigenous rights activist, residential school alumnus, and environmental activist.

"FYI Harriet Nahanee, originally from Pacheedaht and present in the
Walbran Valley on the front lines in the 90's, was a lifelong activist
involved in many struggles fighting for the recognition of Indigenous
land rights and protection of the environment.
She was a human rights
activist and fought against discrimination, marginalization and
institutionalization of Indigenous people in the cities, especially
Indigenous women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
She was a vital
member of many movements and activist communities, and a strong role
model for many including some FOCW organizers.
Commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Walbran Blockades and celebrating the continuing resistance
This
July marks the 25th anniversary of the Walbran valley road blockades,
Road Stops Here Campaign, a successful series of non-violent direct
action(s): tree-sits, road barricades, office sit-ins, hunger strikes,
banner hangings and public protests that were pivotal in the creation of
the 13,000 ha Carmanah/Walbran Provincial Park.
A quarter of a century later, three generations of concerned citizens
join together to altogether halt the needless destructiion of the
world-class ancient temperate rainforest in the heart of the watershed,
in the beautiful Central Walbran valley/ Pacheedaht/Qwa-ba-diwa
territory foolishly left out of the park in '94, and still, after all
the backlash, slated for logging by Surrey-based Teal Jones, who has
been recklessly clearcut logging the steep sidehills to the height of
land, along park boundaries, on the south side of Walbran river. Enough
is enough!
All are welcome for this weekend of camping,
celebration of place and all the good work being done by so many at this
mass Convergence in the sweetest time of the year, in one of the
sweetest places on the island, the best of the last, the last of the
best, of the great ancient redcedar forest.
Join the Friends of
Carmanah/Walbran for this festive gathering to join the past with the
future, in our common cause to end old-growth logging, once and for all,
in the Walbran valley

"the beauty of explosives" - Did he really say that?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearcutting Clearcutting, clearfelling, or clearcut logging is a forestry/logging practice in which most or all trees in an area are uniformly cut down. Clearcutting, along with shelterwood and seed tree harvests, is used by foresters
to create certain types of forest ecosystems and to promote select
species that require an abundance of sunlight or grow in large, even-age
stands.[1]
Logging companies and forest-worker unions in some countries support
the practice for scientific, safety, and economic reasons. Detractors
see clearcutting as synonymous with deforestation, destroying natural habitats[2] and contributing to climate change.[3]
IF A TREE FALLS
Rain forest
Mist and mystery
Teeming green
Green brain facing labotomy
Climate control centre for the world
Ancient cord of coexistence
Hacked by parasitic greedhead scam
From Sarawak to Amazonas
Costa Rica to mangy B.C. hills
Cortege rhythm of falling timber.
What kind of currency grows in these new deserts,
These brand new flood plains?
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
Anybody hear the forest fall?
Cut and move on
Cut and move on
Take out trees
Take out wildlife at a rate of species every single day
Take out people who've lived with this for 100,000 years
Inject a billion burgers worth of beef
Grain eaters, methane dispensers.
Through thinning ozone,
Waves fall on wrinkled earth
Gravity, light, ancient refuse of stars,
Speak of a drowning
But this, this is something other.
Busy monster eats dark holes in the spirit world
Where wild things have to go
To disappear
Forever
