Beau sent me another update photo of the #DugoutCanoe that some students at Wellington high school in #Nanaimo are working on. It's almost all finished. Lots of sanding done & just a bit more to do.

Please support BC Indigenous artists 🙏 beauwagner.ca/coast-salish-art

He is off work from public schools this Summer & is open for #CoastSalish #ArtCommissions & cultural & native art workshop contracts.

High-angle, medium shot of a light-colored, sculpted wooden fish placed diagonally across a gray concrete surface. The fish is carved with stylized red crescent shapes along its top edge, some filled with black. It rests on wood scraps amid wood shavings, with a dark, circular storm drain and cover positioned on the right side of the frame. The composition emphasizes texture contrast between the wood grain. The wood carvings contrast against the concrete. The sculpture is partially in shadow with good lighting on the overall form.

“On Easter Sunday, Littlechild said he watched the Pope's last public appearance on TV, where Francis was struggling to speak. He died the following morning.

Littlechild said he was very sad to hear of the death but happy Francis has found peace.

He said he has asked the Vatican for permission to attend the Pope's funeral on Saturday.

"To have a friend leave you in this way is sad, and you're at a loss of words."

Francis restored respectful relationships with Indigenous people, Littlechild said.

"But I'm always told that we have a long way to go. And, yes, we do," he said.

"Will the next pope elevate us to that next step?””

Day 25 🚫☢️

“#TradeUnions, #conservationists, #FirstNations groups, #church congregations and #community organisations have launched a coordinated campaign against opposition leader #PeterDutton’s plan for #NuclearReactors across Australia.

The #Coalition has pledged, if elected, to build seven nuclear reactors to replace retiring or retired coal sites naming #Tarong and #Callide in Queensland, #Liddell and #MountPiper in New South Wales, #PortAugusta in South Australia, #LoyYang in Victoria, and #Muja in Western Australia.”

The location of Nuclear power plants is not optimised for safe operation. The Loy Yang location was originally chosen due to coal deposits not geological stability. This area is prone to geological faulting.

Circles of a Future Politician

Eli Weasel and four friends from the Tankosin Indian Reservation built one of USA's first local TDGs.

In the next three years, this TDG did not go far. No one else was interested.

But then came the catalyst. These Native American youth are vaulted into community prominence.

"Circles" is the third TDG novel.

Beau used his day off to go hiking up a mountain to do some #CedarBark #harvesting for more traditional #CoastSalish #weaving work.
He sent me photos as he hiked through the forest. These are just the bark harvest related photos with one fairy slipper orchid wildflower photo - he knows my fave colour is purple 🥰

A collage of images showing the process of stripping bark from a cedar tree and its uses. Images include a cedar tree with a long strip of bark removed revealing smooth wood underneath, close-up of hand touching stripped bark, rolled up harvested bark, forest floor scenery consisting of moss, twigs, and a purple wildflower.
