#HappyHalloween2017. My first Halloween was in 1996? I forget. In #Kenya, my kid had a book via the Marira's. The title so hard to figure was..

Mwenye Nyaga, haririririri. Twagucokeria ngatho niundu wa wihokeku waku. Nduriwatutiganiria ona ri. Thanks a lot.

I think these posts are in Bowen Park? ~Elder Bill White.

I think these posts are in Bowen Park? There are several things that speak to our loss of history, culture, knowing our stories. First, the posts were commissioned by the City of Nanaimo, or Parks and Recreation? and for many years could be found in Bowen Park? or wherever. How come none of our leaders thought it important to begin dong the same thing so that our young people could learn some of our very significant history? #2 To look at these posts lying on the ground, rotting away. We do not know who carved the posts? whose family was responsible for creating what would be masterpieces? Who carved these posts? Who were his parents, who was his grandparents? This is our history, culture and traditions. What stories are contained within each pole? Did those stories speak about our relationships with the natural and supernatural world? Did they speak about our relationships with the land, being strong? We will never know, the young of our nations will never know! What years where those created, carved, and who is following today to produce Coast Salish houseposts! not northern neighbors but Coast Salish images with our stories? Our leaders and administrators need to begin thinking about these issues and correcting them. Not to correct it is shameful and to carry on as if we did not have a living culture, living traditions! xwe a naach at tun Sqwull Siem! ~Elder Bill White, Vancouver Island.

Mom says duct tape photo of children was a ‘joke’~NBC4 Staff. In Tigoni Day School, early 70's it was no joke. No joke shutting me up today.
