From September 2016 to April 2017 I attended Langara Reconciliation Carving Cohort. This was my online journey- a collection of research, thoughts, feelings, work and anything that would aid me and others to help the next 7 generations.
Sharing this beautiful video. Herb Rice is one narrators and I appreciated hearing his wise words as well as the many other words of wisdom that was shared.
This video made me very emotional. I saw a video about 10 years ago and tried to gather the Cedar and weave but it didn't work for me and I understand why now. I was grieving and not in a good space and I needed guidance. So much wisdom has been lost. I was at UBC MOA yesterday doing some research and read and saw many photos and drawing that demonstrated how important Cedar is.

"From the moment of birth, to the time of passing, cedar has traditionally played a vital role in the life of the First People of the Pacific Northwest.
This 30min documentary tells the story of cedar, how the bark is stripped from the cedar tree and prepared for cedar weaving (hats) and discusses the art of cedar weaving and the affect this workshop had on the participants. Project was facilitated by Maria Sampson.
The video was produced by Louise McMurray and the Cowichan Aboriginal Film Festival and directed, shot and edited by Phil Ives."

Well what do you do when it snows...and you can't make it to class because there are buses stuck everywhere. You work at home.
We have had lots of snow and mucky weather lately so I have been very busy.
These are my results so far. I am going to make a video of the process but just thought I would get this posted. Tired from all the work but feeling energetic and accomplished because the sun is out!
Sorry, I should do a better job with the photos...it's hard to match and in person they look much different as the reflections are totally different depending on the lighting and in the photos I am trying to show the reflections..but then they look a bit tacky...so it's a tough call. Wait for the videos..then you will see. I will try to get them done tonight!
The commissioners tasked with overseeing the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls will hold their first press conference Tuesday, more than six months after they were first appointed.
Did you see the entire original commercial.
My child's father is Mexican, we are not together, I returned to Canada when I got pregnant and while the idea of him immigrating here was considered there was a high cost, many many issues and in the end he just did not want to live here
We have returned 3 times, for 5 months each time but have not been for 4 years now. I love my Mexican families as we have many that have reached out and adopted us, helping us with shelter, food, support and love. I miss them all very very much and I worry about them and I am outraged by Trump and his followers.
I worry about my child and what her future will be like. I am grateful we live in Canada but so sad and disturbed by the way things are going as racism thrives here too while people like to think we are so inclusive just look at Canada's ugly history of Residential Schools and the current situation of high percentages of Indigenous people incarcerated
Watching this video and understanding how deeply we are affected by the threat of the wall and all that it entails.
So grateful we do not have to make a journey like this but in realityy this is everyone's journey.
We must break down on a the walls of injustice, hate and racism.
Mr. Trump should visit here. TRIGGER WARNING- GRAPHIC IMAGES & DESCRIPTIONS In 2011, the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner (OME) recovered 184 dead migrants from southern Arizona's Sonoran Desert.
