Getting up this fine '150 Morning', I suggested to my wife we go to an afternoon.early evening event put on by a local microbrewery in Sorrento - just outside Salmon Arm BC.

Called " Unsettling Canada 150 ",  it will feature some of Canada's finest dark beer - 'Back Hand of God'

DOA is heading a fundraiser to protest colonization/assimilation/genocide of whomever got in the way of them pesky Europeans when they stumbled around North America?

After ten years working for the Feds in an attempt to run small BC First Nations Schools - one native janitor educated me with the observation that I was every bit as much a Native as he: he says I was born here so that made me a Native -  I left more confused than ever, as to the complex, yet simple issues facing our First Nation's 'brother and sisters'?

Many elders told me they could not understand all the whining about Rez schools.....said that without, they would have re-entered the 'Whiteman's' world less prepared.....go figure.
