The Hall of Fire

Yep, that is exactly it JewelSong.
Great article.

EDIT: Totally missed a bunch of posts, sorry

I do not think we get the current daily show in Canada.

Superwizard thank you so much for starting a thread on this, I only heard about this through articles on Facebook and Twitter. Why was no one talking about this on the news. While you are right to be concerned as an Arab American, it seems it can be applied to all US citizens which is why I am miffe...

Hey, I am still keeping up with this and I do have some things tosay. But I have needed to take a break on commenting since reading blatant racism on other sites and boards has been quite disheartening. I knew Canada has racism problems but I never knew how bad it was.

So is Samurai 7 and alt history or fantasy?

Woohoo, my fashion history report actually helped in an anime!! Woot!

I guess the random Edo hip hop was just too much eh?

I obviously need to see Samurai 7. I especially would like to know more about the merchants vs. samurai. About Tsubasa/xxxholic, it helps a little bit more if you read xxxholic. I will say that CLAMP started out as a doujin circle, so I always thought of Tsubasa/xxxholic as a fanfic version of their...

Quick response: The money spent over 14 years in one particular reserve would have paid the deficit in that one particular FN reserve.

I heard about a report on the results overall about third party management and it just looks like a waste of money. I will go see if I can look it up

EDIT: It's this video, skip to 1:52, this evaluation was even done by the department of aboriginal affairs in 2010!!

Stupfid netbook, posts aren't even showing up on it. Gah!!

I don't think anyone is expecting subdivisions, I certainly am not. I don't think modernization means subdivisions. I do think they are hoping successful housing like in areas much much farther north like Yellowknife, which does have "cities" as much as you can have in that far north. If p...

SirDennis you ask some extremely good questions. Canadian mining companies record around the world is abysmal. I want to do some research what is called an IBA, which is the short name for the agreement DeBeers made with Attawapiskat. (It's mentioned in one of the videos I previously linked to.) I d...

I was watching the CBC yesterday and they do a very small piece on a successful reserve and how non-FN people are moving into it, due to the jobs. 20 years ago that reserve was in pretty bad shape. Basically the main issue was a revenue source outside of just the federal government. This is why I th...

They did retain Aboriginal rights, such as they are, but my great grandmother abandoned those rights when she married a French Canadian. This is a rule common to the reserve system though I am not sure if it is a rule imposed on them or if it is derived from their own customs. Great post. I do know...

From what I am understanding from you, I do not agree with the specimen in a jar model either. I don't think anyone does, even on the FN blog I linked to, the blogger explained many FN people embraced gun use and things like snowmobiles etc, when they first came out. Many want modernization, but the...

Well the Algonquin people on the news thing I saw last night, the biggest concern everyone had regardless of age was maintaining language. One person explained he dropped out of high school, since he knew French better then Algonquin. (They travel at least an hour to go to the Quebec run schools) Ri...

Ummm.. I really respect you Vison, but I will say, I disagree and I cultural preservation is something important and I think can be preserved while still living in the modern world. I think successful reserves can prove that. Not all reserves are in this state so obviously thee are success stories. ...

I read your whole post and I think you are right. I hope what I said as potential alternatives sound at least reasonable. EDIT again: I was listening to CBC radio the other day and a caller detailed a building project on a Manitoba reserve and how just even in the first level of the project there wa...

OK I read half of what you said so far, but since it's so good, I have to reply to some of it. In the wiki for Attawapiskat, it explains it was traditionally a temporary place for fishing and hunting. During the winter there was nothing. Which is sort of why I was wondering why the location for the ...

I used to think getting rid of the reserves, could be a thing, but after reading other opinions and thinking about it more, the reserve is pretty much one of the last things they have. The only refuge where they can practice their culture without feelings like foreigners in their own country. A cult...

Sorry Vison, I missed you, great observations. I want to adress your post more in depth later, but about building houses, how come these northern housing issues are not considered a giant problem in successful northern communities (I do not know about Alaska, but I am sure Ms. Palins house does not ...
