Daughter of Hell II - Troll hunting There are horrors out there in the northern europe, forests full of horrors, as blood of hell, beasts and things unknown claims people. One horror is however different, born in the bowls of hell itself now residing on the surface world, hunting beasts bigger and maybe worse then herself...Though few question her existence.

Klaudia Musashi's character sheet done. She's in her everyday entire when she's not on her stealthy ninja missions. This half Japanese 🇯🇵 half Grenadian 🇬🇩 ninja assassin was a former Yakuza member till she was betrayed by an ex lover and left for dead. Once Mr. Shirowbi found her when she was at deaths door, he helped rehabilitate her, he sent her off to a secret ninja clan to train. When returned she is now Mr. Shirowbi's number 1 bodyguard and assassin for hire. Soon her bodyguard and ninja assassin outfit will be fully designed. Enjoy.

Being Métis

The past few months have had me reflecting on what it is to be Métis, to me...

Most of my life I only knew it meant I was half Cree Indian and half French. And I had no idea what it was to be Cree or French. Adopted as an infant, it wasn't until I found my biological mother on facebook that I had any real desire to learn about my cultural heritage, nevermind practice. Any of it. Cree. French. Métis. Scandinavian (although this was unknown until recently - I only knew my father was caucasian with blonde hair and blue eyes, which I didn't at all identify with, looking in the mirror).

Growing up in suburban southern Alberta through the 80s and 90s, the attitudes towards 'indians' and francophones weren't so positive, which of course didn't encourage me and quite likely contributed to some self-loathing. I never experienced any racism directly, that I know of... however I often was privy to racist remarks and jokes about others of Indigenous and French heritage, and why would I want to identify with that? ...even though, subconsciously, I did.

As a young adult in the late 90s and early 2000s I held membership with the Métis Nation of Alberta, and even attended a youth entrepreneurship conference... however that changed with the new National Definition of Métis for Citizenship in 2003 and new MNA membership card in 2006... Without any information on family history, I could no longer 'officially' claim to be Métis. Labels like "non-status indian" and "pretendian" were among those that remained... and so I continued to ignore my heritage until facebook connected me with my mother.

Over the last five years, in addition to my mother, sisters, and nephews, I have met all my living aunties and uncles, many cousins, and my moshum, who has since passed. I have also reclaimed 'official' membership with the Métis Nation of Alberta as of 2021 and in 2023 attended both Métis Fest and Connecting Through Culture Métis Family Retreat at Métis Crossing with my children, and a number of other gatherings and events since. Further, I've learned that a number of my ancestors played important roles in Canada's history - like Cuthbert Grant (1793 ~ 1894) and Pierre Parenteau (1817 ~ 1893), among others. I have also learned that I have a significant amount of Scottish Métis ancestry on my mother's side, and that my father's ancestry allegedly connects us as descendants of Leif Erikson and Erik the Red, but the latter is a topic for another time.

So what is it to be Métis? Speaking Michif? Wearing a sash? Playing a fiddle? Canoeing? Hunting and trapping? Dancing the jig? There certainly was a time when these were all a regular part of daily life for generations of my ancestors, however I do not believe it was these things that defined who they were (and we are now), but rather it is the core Métis values:

Community, Networking, and Kinship - respect for elders, regular family gatherings, music and dance, sharing (especially food); wâkôhtowin - kinship, particularly one's relationship with, and responsibilities within, the communities and networks of which one is a part.

Traditional Storytelling - history and moral lessons were communicated through stories, rooted in spirituality and traditional indigenous cosmologies.

Mobility and Adaptability - traditionally semi-nomadic, following the reproductive and ripening cycles of flora and fauna (seasonal gardens, bison hunting, berry picking, trapping, fishing), and well-known for their adaptability, producing almost everything they needed to survive.

Resilience - the Métis people have repeatedly resisted colonial expansion and fought for their rights as a nation for over two hundred years. And that fight continues; otipemisiwâk - the people who own themselves.

The Métis were (and still are) people who lived in the spaces between what was and what is; we are from two very different worlds and often facilitated trade and connections between first nations and settlers. We belong to both groups and neither. We are a new nation of people, born of colonization. From both the old world and the new, yet belonging to neither.

From an evolutionary perspective, we are the product of human genetics that evolved separately for a very long time, bringing expanded variations and possibilities to human expression, not seen or even possible before... and from this perspective there are many new nations in the world today. I have truly been blessed with bougie heirloom DNA drawn from at least four separate cultures aged separately, resulting in an interesting blend of... me. 😂 And with all the personal archaeology I've done of late, I have some first-hand experience around the nature-nurture debate - a significant part of who I am as a person is literally in my bones (and they're both important).

To me, being Métis is all of this. It is to be here on the frontier of human existence. It is to inherit all that came before, and to utilize it in ways that work for who we are now and where we're going, while still honouring and respecting the wisdom in the knowledge entrusted to us... It is to boldly claim one's place in the world and to honour the relationships and responsibilities that go with it. And it is knowing that we are, truly, all related. ♾️

My dogs 🐶🐕

Last Sunday, my father and brother got a Amstaff puppy from a family friend, my brother named her Freya (after the Goddess of the same name from Viking mythology). In the second photo there is Gioia, my half Chihuahua half Pinscher dog that I have had since 2015. Now I have two little sisters <3.
