“In 2010, the Haida Nation reclaimed its traditional name Haida Gwaii for the Queen Charlotte Islands. This happened in a similar ceremony, in which the Haida gifted the colonial name back to the British Columbia government by speaking the name into a bentwood cedar box.”
With a salmon feast and celebration, Lummi Nation marked a reclaiming of traditional place names in the San Juan Islands.
“You cannot tell the history of these islands without telling the history of our ancestors," said Tony Hillaire, Lummi chairman.

My condo building has volunteer gardeners. I love this flower garden they put in this small strip of soil outside our parkade door.
The flowers & shrubs are thriving this Spring! It's so lush all over the city!

I love my home. But for the 1st time in my life, I fear being attacked downtown. It's changed where I spend my free time.
I've recently been going to the beaches on the west side as opposed to downtown beaches. I feel safer. I generally ride my bike, so I head home before it's dark outside.

I've been making changes to my appearance and it's been fun! For decades I kept such lonnnng hair, thinking it was such a huge part of my identity. But now in my early 50s, it changes. Funny how that happens.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.
