Idle No More
Here in Canada there's a movement called Idle No More. This movement is about standing together to save the environment, preserving First Nations cultures, and respect for all.
Many people in my hometown of Powell River care deeply about the environment. On January 11, members of Tla’amin (Sliammon) First Nation joined a Canada-wide demonstration in support of Idle No More. A girl from Tla'amin named Ta'Kaiya Blaney spoke and sang at the gathering with a powerful message for all of us. Click the arrow to hear it for yourself.

I love this whole post, Margy. I love that you say "here in Canada" and "my hometown Powell River" because it means you and Wayne are emotionally involved in your adopted country.
ReplyDeleteMy heart will always be in British Columbia, where the environment is very sensitive as well as very beautiful.

Thanks for the observation Kay. I've never felt so at home as in Powell River. I wish I could be there more right now, but it just isn't possible. I am so glad Wayne can be. I live it through him, his pictures and stories. - Margy
