Pjila'si - Now open at the Museum of Natural History.
Pjila'si, meaning "welcome" in Mi'kmaw, is not just a gallery. It's an interactive space that celebrates Mi'kmaw culture. It brings to life the knowledge, skills, and adaptability of the Mi'kmaw people throughout history and to this day.

A sliver of good news: About $250 billion of the roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian assets are not in American banks. This money could be released to Ukraine by the European Union, Canada, Britain, Australia, Japan and Singapore—and circumvent Trump’s betrayal.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
