It's #blueberry time! We've done pretty good despite frost warnings but a new forest fire in the area is a point of caution when heading out. Check before going in the woods! #RuralNewfoundland #traditionalwayoflife @govnl.bsky.social @ntvnewsnl.bsky.social @fishingforsuccess.bsky.social

As people prepare to celebrate Canada Day, lest we forget for Newfoundland and Labrador it is Memorial Day - our national day of mourning for the lost lives of our young men in the First World War at Beaumont-Hamel - www.veterans.gc.ca/en/remembran... @govnl.bsky.social @memorialu.bsky.social

One of the most striking things I've learnt working on cultural violence, sealing & TK: Just 48 people actively stand b/t the extinction of generations of continuous sealing/fishing traditional knowledge on cultural & economic seal processing practices in Newfoundland & Labrador @govnl.bsky.social

Was I wrong? In my book Cultural Violence, Stigma and the Legacy of the Anti-Sealing Movement (now available in paperback www.routledge.com/Cultural-Vio...) I made the case that at a minimum anti-sealing campaigning demonstrated cultural violence. But was it cultural genocide...?
