I still find it hard to believe that the projections from 338canada (and others) will hold on the Island.

I realize electoral outcomes can and do shift over long periods, but I refuse to believe that, for example, people on the North Island and Powell River will elect this racist fool, Aaron Gunn. He has had that distinction for years because of his consistent denial of residential school genocide.

338 has the CPC a full 10 points above its 2021 outcome, and the NDP 13 below. It beggars belief. The Liberals are not viable here and I have more faith in the electorate than the numbers show.

WE REASONABLE PEOPLE NEED TO MAKE SURE THESE RACIST CANDIDATES DON’T SUCCEED.

VOTE!

American Museum of Natural History had a precious :mowachahtmuchalaht: Mowachaht/Muchalaht whaling shrine in storage for 120 years.

It's going home. 🙌🙌

The shrine was in a secret location near Yuquot, which was also the point of first contact between European colonists and west coast nations in Canada.

It is possible to visit Yuquot by taking the working-ferry from Gold River. Great day trip!

A dark skinned First Nations man stands and speaks. He is wearing a heavy brown jacket. Some people are standing behind him. There are also some drawings or paintings. They are standing in hall of the church at Yoquot. The caption says: "It wasn't to be spoken of or displayed or anything like that," explained Mowachaht/Muchalaht Tyee Ha'wilth Mike Maquinna, who awaits a period of helping his people understand how the whalers' shrine should be respected.

Terri's extensive experience and work developing similar Protocols for a range of industries will guide us in the right direction and the passion and enthusiasm for this work Terri and her team and the staff and Board at WMAU have shown for this work reminds me why it is so important for WMAU to be doing it.

In the face of changes in the world it is important to reassert that we acknowledge and respect the sovereignty of First Nations Peoples, and a Protocol will be an important part of how we do that.

I cannot state how important it is to me to announce that Wikimedia Australia has engaged Indigenous legal and consulting firm Terri Janke and Company to scope the requirements for an Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) and Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDSov) Protocol for our organisation.

Something that would never happen if Canada was "the 51st State”.

"The Lax Kw’alaams band has called a referendum for April 9 to vote on the proposed Da’ax Kw’alaams Man-Ayaawx Constitution, a momentous step toward establishing their own self-governance framework.”
