Happy Aboriginal Day!
- Thread starter petros
- Start date
We had ours yesterday to coincide with solstice at the schools. No buffalo here though. We are the only school district in BC where every student is involved in aboriginal studies. We dedicated 80 hand drums yesterday made by the students at a workshop a few weeks ago.
All other districts remove the aboriginal kids to separate rooms fro aboriginal studies. Rumour has it that other districts are planning to follow our lead. I'm proud to have been part of the process for setting up our curriculum to include all students. Every other district is promoting segregation and bigotry.

Salmon burgers have too many bones.
Here is a cool bison in full charge pic that I took last week.
All kids here participate in Aboriginal studies. They have for a long long time. Even in my day.

Yes, well, you also have treaties with your aboriginal people. BC has very few. We are a little backward here.

So, for a long, long, time, eh.......long, long.;-)................Drumbeating 101 ?
Your plains bison looks like he's about to fall over...............But then I ain't never seen one in the flesh, and know squat bout them.
Sorry if I appear nonplussed bout the aboriginal studies thing. Ont. just gave the Algonquins about 2/3 of our crown land, with the tacit understanding that no waterways would be blocked or access to hunt camps be shut off.
Of course all that is "subject to further discussion" I call bullshlt . The tsunami won't fully hit for 10 years or so, and I won't probably be around then. Good thing.

Something like that. Kids are pretty good at off key caterwauling.
A little?
It is only fair that a Province returns land to their Aboriginal peoples. After all, the "White" folks stole it from them originally, so all they are doing is returning stolen stuff.
Too bad they are not doing the same thing for the Metis. I'd love to have our family farm back.

I'd like to have the old Highland croft back too, but can't see it happening anytime soon.
Sorry, but I'm on the whiteyes' side. I've nothing against someone acquiring land as long as they work and pay for it. Crown land is exactly that, and should be retained by the Crown.
I know it's not a popular view, but, I'd prefer to see as much land returned as possible, the treaties rewritten, and the segregation system scrapped.
Good on BC. Ontario should be so backward.
So, you will sign my petition to the Queen to have all land stolen from the Scots, returned ? Fair's fair, eh.
BS. When my son was in elementary school in Pt. Hardy they taught the local dialect to all the students. That was mid 80s.
Stole? Really?
Yum. Ever do up Indian tacos?
I'll sign your's if you sign mine against the Bolsheviks.
I'm sure the Scots can deal with their own issues. I'll stick to issues that effect my family.
No. I have done bannock burgers though. I love playing around with food. Last night we had what we lightheartedly called 'lebaroni and mushroom pizza' (mainly because I can never remember the name of the Lebanese sausage I like so much.
The secret to good bannock is the baking powder, it has to be Blue Ribbon or it's just not right.
The sausage that tastes like Donair meat?

A bit like donair meat yeah. Just a little bit more clove and nutmeg to it than donair. Kind of halfway between donair meat and my grandma's tortiere.
Give the tacos a try sometime. I'm going to have my fill today when I walk down to the park to watch my friend's kid do his hoop dance.
I'll post some pics when I get back.
