Sinixt pictographs vandalized

[JLM]

Blah blah blah. Who gives a flying f.ck. We can't make power or feed ourselves with 9000 year old stick men. It's not like they are equal to a Botticelli or DaVinci. It is graffiti and today that gets you a court date.

I have to disagree strongly. We are talking about a race of people. Is their "mark" in history any less than your ancestors?

Meh, his ancestors merely left a stain on a guillotine.

Nothing of any real importance.

Actually we are talking about some graffiti on a rock. If that is the sum total of their contribution to the human race then it is hardly worthwhile even mentioning them.

The difference being, their mark was left for those that would follow.

While your ancestors simply left a mark someone else to clean up.

To which I must remark, you seem to be continuing in that tradition.

How about 3500 years of living in geothermal heated houses?



Or the unique Sturgeon nosed canoe, a canoe designed for navigating fast waters, light weight and stable:

I'm not sure where this guy go the idea that the Sinixt don't know the origin of the pictographs in their territory, but he is wrong. They even know the meanings and purpose of them.

You should. Oil and gas exports pays your pension. hard to export geothermal.
