Tired of waiting for Stephen Harper to call an inquiry the First Nations People of this land have taken it upon themselves to move forward and do it themselves. What a shameful government to allow this to happen and turned a blind eye when given every opportunity to take action to stop it.

There are so many narratives about skulls because countless lives
have and will become them. As different as we all are, we are the same
in fundamental ways. This being the underlying theme of the
International Day of the Dead Tour & Exhibit.
This exhibition is the first of its kind in the province of British Columbia.
The aim to engage the art community in the exploration of their own
interpretation of death according to their distinct culture, traditions,
beliefs and artistic voice.
"Day of the Dead has always been my favorite Mexican holiday , I have
always enjoyed melancholic images. I find them mysterious and beautiful
in an unconventional way."
This guy is amazing!! I just love this. I pray for his safe journey. If you encounter him, please help him out with a place to stay or some kindness. Wish I could do something like this or had when I was younger. It's a great journey.

As we come marching, marching, unnumbered women dead
Go crying through our singing their ancient cry for bread.
Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew.
Yes, it is bread we fight for—but we fight for roses, too!

This song originated from a speech by Rose Schneiderman (April 6, 1882 – August 11, 1972) was a prominent United States labor union leader, socialist, and feminist of the first part of the twentieth century. She is credited with coining the phrase "Bread and Roses", later used as the title of a poem and set to music and interpreted by several performers.

1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John
Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview. 38
years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrators James
Braithwaite and Alex Kurina have collaborated to create an animated
short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack.

Today TransCanada Coastal Gaslink workers trespassed in our territory and were evicted by Freda Huson. We have repeatedly said no to their projects and continue to protect our unceded lands from destruction.
Posted by Unist'ot'en Camp on Saturday, September 5, 2015
The Unist'ot'en Camp is a non-violent occupation of Unceded Unist´ot´en territory. FPIC is conducted with visitors to show our complete jurisdiction
From their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/unistoten/info?tab=page_info
The camp is located at the shore of the Wedzin Kwah and mouth of the Gosnell Creek. These are all tributary to the the Skeena,
Bulkley, and Babine Rivers. The proposed pipelines from Enbridge
Northern Gateway and Pacific Trails both seek to cross the rivers at the
exact point where the occupation cabin is built on the Unis’tot’en
Territory of Talbits Kwah.
The Unist'ot'en (C’ihlts’ehkhyu /
Big Frog Clan) is occupying and using our traditional territory, as it
has for centuries. Our historical free prior and informed consent
protocol is in place at the entrance of our territory as an expression
of our jurisdiction and our inherent right to both give and refuse
consent.
It started with going on the Roller Coaster. I don't know what it is but this year I could not keep my butt in the seat, as I came around each corner and up and over the bumps, out it came and I was hanging on for "what felt like dear life" and screamed, squealed, and laughed all the while shouting "Ride Em Cowboy!! " Hah!! That was a lot of fun and once we get the coaster under our belt well then everything else is bonus.
So after that we did a few more rides. Then we were wandering looking for games when we saw the TV cameraman and I said to Angel "Let's go get on TV!" And she was all shy and didn't want to. Meanwhile I was running around the side and trying go behind...and Angel was like "Mom, No!" and I was like "Pleeeeassse, it will be so much fun, Come on, come on, come on!!"
Well they must have heard us because they asked if we wanted to be on TV. And I said "Yes!!" So Dave Gerry was doing a show called the Last Word and he was talking about the games. He did one on Wac-A- Mole and Angel got to be in the recording. It was really fun and she got to play about 3 times for free so she was super happy!!
See Angel on TV here!! (15 seconds of fame!! LOL!! :)
CTV Vancouver | The Last Word with Mike McCardell and Dave Gerry
Anyways, you know I don't like to type much. We really liked the idea of Peter Pan but it was too long...over an hour and well I am not sure that it's that appropriate with certain issues and I had to explain to Angel about how the original story is really politically incorrect in some ways. I think a different show would have been better, like Aladdin or something??? But the acting and dancing were great and I hope they do it again next year. But just make it an hour, no longer.
We loved the Dinosaurs and these looked the best at night!! So COOL!!
And of course Super Dogs is always a big hit with us.
We always love the animals and this year we got to pet some of the horses and that was really special for us.
Well here you go. The first is video of all the video I took and the second is a video of all the photos I took. Someday, I will edit it all correctly the right sequence with photos/videos mixed but today I am just to tired from all the excited and fun we had yesterday....and the beating my body took on the rollercoaster... LOL!!
With the horrific images in the news today we are faced with many emotions.
First you feel like "Don't Look!" and you want to turn. But you must, we must face this.
Our country rejected Aylan and his family and many more. The conservatives have put so many new rules and made things so difficult the people can't make it through the system. Could YOU?
Who could? If a war broke out, who the hell has time for paperwork when all your friends and neighbours and families are being murdered....how would you cope.
If you had no food, shelter, water, ....if you child was scared...and you could offer no comfort because you were scared too...what would you do?
How Can We Help?
Supposedly the governments are supposed to take care of these things but obviously it's not working. Governments are just people. We are the people. What can we do? What can I do...I am not in a position to give money or even advice but I can share this.
I can help you realize that these are people. They are not animals. They are not just something happening in a far off place, we need to help...
This is how he should have been lying tonight. Safe. Warm. Alive.
God bless this poor little cherub, let him sleep with the angels tonight. May his parent somehow survive there grief and loss, not of just one beautiful child but of two, as his brother drowned also.
RIP beautiful boy. You DESERVED SO MUCH MORE!!
I am so sad this world has failed you! Emotions overwelm me as I write this post, it is very difficult to share these disturbing images. I pray that there can be change, enlightenment, empathy and that this madness will end.
Calais Migrants- Life in the Jungle- WATCH TO UNDERSTAND
Away from the chaotic scenes on Calais's motorways and ports, the
migrant camp known as the 'new Jungle' is growing fast and showing signs
of becoming a permanent fixture. The Guardian spent three weeks
following the lives of a few of its 3,000 residents, rare in-depth
access that reveals a growing human cost of the crisis, and the
challenges facing refugees and migrants trying to reach Britain http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/video/2015/jul/27/calais-migrants-jungle-camp-video
Aylan Kurdi: Canadian immigration minister suspends
election campaign to investigate why Syrian family's refugee application
was refused
This is why we must do EVERYTHING WE CAN TO SAVE OUR COAST #SaveOurCoast
What would you do if you had an experience like this!! Wouldn't you feel so blessed by the universe. I sure would. Amazing!! Beautiful!!
Wouldn't that be amazing to experience something like this first hand rather than having to visit an aquarium http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.ca/2015/07/aquarium-visit-2015-july-23-qila-angels.html
Wouldn't seeing it live fill you with awe, appreciation, respect...so you would be filled empathy and want to protect it and not let it be destroyed by oil and pollution.
When you vote this election....VOTE TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT!!
Use what every powers you have to have a voice and use it. Use ART!! VIDEO! PHOTOGRAPHY! BLOGGING! SOCIAL MEDIA!
Share this and anything you can to pursuade people to vote to PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT!!
It's truly our only hope, I believe.
