Sugarcane did not win Best Documentary at the Oscars last night but a documentary about Residential Schools, the survivors and the victims and those who came after, is still cause to celebrate and uplift.

Native filmmakers, keep doing the good work. It's hard work. It's brutal. It's heavy. But it's so important and so brave and we will be here for you when your heart is heavy and the tears can't be held back.

Sugarcane is a widely grown crop in the Nile Basin, but its destructive effects on soils, water resources and biodiversity have become increasingly apparent.

As the thirsty crop draws down water resources, aquatic species like the critically endangered Nubian flapshell turtle suffer a loss of habitat, forage and nesting sites.

In an effort to revive soils, diversify diets and incomes, and boost water levels that many animals rely on, communities are implementing agroforestry projects in lieu of monocultures.

The resulting “food forests” attract an array of wildlife while refilling wetlands and river systems where the culturally important flapshell turtles swim.

Today is the ninth day of the first lunar month and we Hokkiens celebrate the birthday of the Jade Emperor or Tian Gong Dan (天公诞). The Hokkien people pay homage to the Jade Emperor and to give thanks for their salvation from a massacre that occurred during the Ming Dynasty. Bai (拜) means to pray, and Tian Gong (天公) refers to the Jade Emperor, hence Bai Tian Gong (拜天公).

According to legend, a group of Hokkien villagers were fleeing from a bandit raid during the Ming Dynasty. They hid in a sugarcane field, where they were pursued by the bandits. The bandits searched the field for days, but they could not find the villagers.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the bandits gave up and left. The villagers emerged from the sugarcane field, grateful to have been spared. They decided to celebrate this day as a day of thanksgiving to the Jade Emperor.

Bai Tian Gong (拜天公) is celebrated with a variety of rituals and customs. One of the most important customs is the offering of prayers and food to the Jade Emperor. This is usually done on the eve of the ninth day of the first lunar month from 11pm onward.

Sugarcane è un documentario diretto da Julian Brave NoiseCat ed Emily Kassie, incentrato sulle indagini sugli abusi e sulla scomparsa di bambini in una scuola residenziale in Canada; questo film mette in luce la resilienza delle comunità indigene mentre affrontano traumi storici e cercano giustizia; è stato presentato in anteprima al Sundance ed è stato descritto come un'esplorazione toccante degli impatti intergenerazionali sui popoli nativi.

A partire dal 1894, il governo canadese costrinse i bambini indigeni a frequentare collegi segregati.

Le scuole furono progettate per "liberarsi del problema indiano"; la maggior parte erano gestite dalla chiesa cattolica.

Per anni, gli studenti riferirono di abusi e di compagni scomparsi.

Brunch is a takeaway box of Vegetarian Rice (斋饭) from the nearby coffee shop. Starting with my favourite curry mock mutton & potato, bitter gourd & carrot omelette and creamy sweet mock pork ribs that is still “pink” inside. :D The “bone” you see is a shaved stick of sugarcane.
