God’s Whistleblower

The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. Proverbs 15:3 (ESV)

When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children." Mark 10:14 (NLT)

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. Ephesians 5:11 (ESV)

We know that anyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning. 1 John 5:18 (ESV)

The iniquities of a wicked man entrap him; the cords of his sin entangle him. Proverbs 5:22 (BSB)

Let those who are experts at cursing— whose cursing could rouse Leviathan— curse that day. Job 3:8 (NLT)

The Righteous One knows what is going on in the homes of the wicked; he will bring disaster on them. Proverbs 21:12 (NLT)

If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them. Titus 3:10 (NLT)

All want to be understood few wish to understand

The grim truth about the News in Canada is that Canadians,need to know more about about Brexit, what US Congress is up to and what did Dinky Donnie do today, than they do the Indigenous reality in Canada.

Now It’s Election Time in Canada. You'll hear all the Politicians debating the “Major Issues”. You may hear the occasional First Nations, Inuit and Métis “Issues”discussed. The issue will be seen in relation to pipelines and howIndigenous Rights affect business interests. Very little will be said about rights to safe drinking water, decent housing, missing First Nations women, education, healthy diet or even human rights.

We’ll receive news about Human Rights elsewhere, Hong Kong or North Korea. As far as Fires in Brazil it’s all about the environment world wide. Who the fuck do we think live in the burned down world heritage rain forests all worry about? It is their whole world right now and in living color. Their “rights” conflict with business interests, but far less would be said if only the indigenous inhabitants were affected

Try not to be like the Political shills running in this election.Take time to learn what it means to be an “issue”. Don’t set a time limit, keep learning.

In 2016, 1.6 million people identified as Indigenous in Canada. The issues aren't abstract. Start to learn what first nations think their “issues” are. Start to understand by knowing who. Take some time and seek information on your own. Search names, find places, find out about these lives as they are. No need to think you have to understand by Election Day 2019.

Please seek the truth for yourself. Sometimes we need labels to understand. Here is a list of first nations in Canada. Knowledge is the power behind change. Use the internet and libraries. You can even contact band offices for information. Please learn, few understand the First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities of Canada.

The list is not comprehensive, it does provide insight into the indigenous societies, and cultural ties in Canada. Start anywhere and ask questions for yourself.

Malyla & I had such a wonderful time back in Hot Springs Cove this past week.. but I think the most exciting part was watching all the liveliness out on the water during the herring spot spawning. We seen loads of sea lions (doggy mermaids as Malyla calls them) & a few grey whales! 🙂 I don’t know who’s more excited for herring to spawn.. all the wildlife or us?! #westcoastliving #nuuchahnulth #hesquiaht #hotspringscove

Nuu-chah-nulth master carver Tim Paul has started work on a totem pole that intends to raise awareness of threatened Indigenous languages.

The pole is being carved out of an 800-year-old, 23 metre-high red cedar tree that likely came down during a windstorm 50 years ago near Bamfield, on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

The totem pole is being created in honour of the United Nations Year of Indigenous Languages. Paul is carving the piece at a time when his language, Nuu-chah-nulth, is at great risk of becoming extinct.

"We really need to not only deal with the language and save what we have left, but we also need to upkeep and re-educate ourselves of the cultural teachings within our families," Paul told All Points West guest host Megan Thomas. Paul is of the Hesquiaht tribe of the Nuu-chah-nulth,and says this project is special to him because his grandmother was very concerned about their traditional language.

"She revered the language, she spoke the language and she wanted to hold it and pass it on down to my aunts and uncles," he said.

Facing the Past: Portraits by Edward S. Curtis

The exhibition Facing the Past: Portraits by Edward S. Curtis is a collection of portrait photographs taken by Curtis, who lived from 1868 to 1952.The museum hosting the exhibit is the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego California. These portraits are of the indigenous people in the United States. They are in a sepia tone but are very well preserved given how old the photographs are. The exhibition features people from many different tribes, including Hupa, Hesquiaht, Achomawi, Tolowa, and Klamath. These photographs were taken during the early 1900’s, when he photographed over 80 different tribes in his travels across North America.

Wife of Modoc Henry - Klamath

photogravure on paper EDWARD SHERIFF CURTIS, AMERICAN, (USA, 1868 - 1952) · 1868-1952 · Gift of Edwin and Irene Weinrot ·

The images in the exhibition are very well done. Considering the age of the images and the equipment that was used, they are very well lit. It seems like he was very aware of the amount of light that he needed for his equipment in order to take a clear and beautiful image. The images have an impeccable depth of field. This can be seen in the images “Klamath Warrior's Head-Dress” and “Wife of Modoc Henry – Klamath”. The subjects in these images are centered and every detail of their faces is clear. The woman pictured in “Wife of Modoc Henry – Klamath” has a neutral expression and her eyes seems worn; regardless, she looks like a strong and wise individual. The tribal clothes and accessories tell a story of who this person is. She seems like she is someone who is important to the tribe. The other photograph is of a man with simple clothing but wearing an elaborate head-dress. The title states that he is a warrior of the Klamath tribe, and he also looks like a wise person. Perhaps because of his apparent old age, nevertheless, he looks strong like a warrior.

The images in this exhibition have a strong cultural significance. They depict the kind of people who occupied this land long before settlers came oversees. The people whose lands where stolen and populations decimated. These are the people who we often forget about and don’t really speak about. The fact that this exhibition preserves these faces is great. In order for the culture of these tribes to stay alive, we need these images to remember what was, what the elders and soldiers looked like. Most of these images have a melancholy look to them. The people pictured are not really smiling at all, their eyes seem sad; It is unclear if this is done on purpose by the photographer or by the museum. But it gives the viewer something to feel, the eyes in these photographs are very powerful.

Canada and British Columbia invest in infrastructure in the Vancouver Island region to create jobs and strengthen communities

From: Infrastructure Canada

News release

New investments in community infrastructure by the governments of Canada and British Columbia will benefit Island communities while also supporting economic recovery in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic by getting projects under way and meeting communities’ needs as they restart their economies.

Port Alberni, British Columbia, July 3, 2020—New investments in community infrastructure by the governments of Canada and British Columbia will benefit Island communities while also supporting economic recovery in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic by getting projects under way and meeting communities’ needs as they restart their economies.

These investments will play a key role in strengthening local economies, and helping ensure all British Columbians have access to the services and cultural networks they need to build resilient communities.

Today, the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities; the Honourable Maryam Monsef, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development; and the Honourable Scott Fraser, Member of Legislative Assembly for Mid Island-Pacific Rim, on behalf of the Honourable Selina Robinson, B.C. Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, announced funding for 22 projects on the Island under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Plan.

The Huu-ay-aht First Nations will build a new culture centre to provide the community with a language training room, a kitchen, dedicated areas for the production and the sale of arts and crafts, multi-purpose rooms, and washrooms. The facility will also have a multi-purpose field with bleachers for soccer and softball, and a presentation stage with stands for outdoor cultural events.

The Town of Ladysmith will build a new Arts and Heritage Hub at the site of the town’s historic machinery shop to showcase local culture and history, and highlight the town’s positive relationship with the Stz’uminus First Nation. This hub is part of a waterfront redevelopment plan to support community development and will provide space for art exhibitions, performances and special events.

Among the other projects receiving this funding are improvements to community centres, health centres, storm water management, drinking water and wastewater facilities, cultural facilities and social support hubs.

The Government of Canada is contributing more than $33.2 million, the Government of British Columbia is contributing over $8.7 million and the individual applicants are contributing more than $12.2 million to these projects through the Community, Culture, and Recreation Infrastructure Stream (CCRIS), and the Rural and Northern Communities Infrastructure Stream (RNIS) of the Investing in Canada Plan.

More than $23.2 million of the federal and provincial funding is going to eight projects in Indigenous communities.

Further announcements of infrastructure investments will follow in the coming months as Canada and British Columbia work together to support jobs, improve our communities, and safely and sustainably restore economic growth.

Quotes

“Investing in community centres, recreation and cultural facilities means children and youth will have a safe place to play and learn, seniors have a place to meet, our clubs and groups can have a home. These facilities build strong, dynamic communities where people want to put down roots and do business. Together with the Province, we are supporting projects that will create jobs and bring residents new facilities and programs that will make a real difference in people’s lives for years to come.”

The Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities

“It is more important than ever to support rural and Indigenous communities. The projects we’re announcing today will help smaller communities on the Island rally now while supporting growth, helping preserve local heritage, and enhancing residents’ quality of life.”

The Honourable Maryam Monsef, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development

“In partnership with the federal government, we are investing in infrastructure that will strengthen communities here on the island and across B.C. The construction of the Ahtaapq Creek Hydropower Project will support the Hesquiaht First Nation in their transition to cleaner energy sources and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I’m also pleased to see funding going towards several community centres in my constituency. People need public spaces and services to support their health and well-being now more than ever.”

The Honourable Scott Fraser, Member of Legislative Assembly for Mid Island-Pacific Rim, on behalf of the Honourable Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing

Quick facts

Through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Plan, the Government of Canada is investing more than $180 billion over 12 years in public transit projects, green infrastructure, social infrastructure, trade and transportation routes, and Canada’s rural and northern communities.

$25.3 billion of this funding is supporting social infrastructure in Canadian communities.

$2 billion of this funding is supporting infrastructure projects that meet the unique needs of rural and northern communities like facilities to support food security, local access roads and enhanced broadband connectivity. In addition, $400 million is being delivered through the Arctic Energy Fund to advance energy security in the territories.
