We need to think beyond protecting what we have and regard risk as opportunity, too. To be obsessed with not-losing is as much an artifact of a colonized mindset as anything else we speak a lot about in our circles.

I choose to be cautiously optimistic.

Huu-ay-aht will do its part.

If indigenous leaders can put aside zero-sum thinking and political point-scoring, we have a real opportunity to help create value in (thus far) globalized markets and *share in it*.

That sounds better than fighting over limited governmental budgets, eh?

We'll need this to catch up and keep up.

I was an avid buyer of EGM and GamePro back in the day, but I wasn't buying them until I was older than when I bought MK2.

It just strikes me as odd that Alberta and Saskatchewan feel the way they do on the aggregate when their populist Prairie reformer faction took over the major conservative party. It's the progressive and centrist electorate who aren't represented there.

And we can start to tackle the internal FN issues with more accountability if there's a less-apprehensive journalist presence in our affairs. It must be hard to be a non-FN journo very trying to report on hard issues inside FN communities and avoid accusations of prejudice.

Right on, Ward.

Looks like Rustad did the right thing, and I'm glad. He's been a friend to Huu-ay-aht in the times we've crossed paths.
