Kichesipirini Algonquins Again Reflect on History as They Continue International Assertions Despite Increased Pressures

15015238_400x400.jpg

As we prepare to attend the United Nations Indigenous Peoples Forum we again remember why we continue to assert our traditional identity and its international character. The Indigenous Peoples of Canada, as organized according to our traditional nations and inherent identities hold certain precious rights important to ALL Canadians, and our common future together.

Please remember with us this important aspect of Canadian and international history and view our expression of commitment to our ancestors:

Hi Paula,
Are you familiar with the Weskarinis of the Laurentians?
I am aboriginal and starting my masters at Queens in Geography. My area of interest is the multi-generational disemintation of knolwedge and values. The reason I ask about the Weskarinis is that a friend has wirtten on the subject. While seaching for more info I came across your site.

Kwey Paul,

Of course. I am very familiar with this community, for many reasons. It is good to see the focus on multi-generational disemination of knowledge and values. Too often the values have been minimized....but they are the actual defining foundations are they not?
Are you familiar with the Weskarinis and their relationships with the Kichesipirini?
I would look forward to hearing more from you.

Weblogs

Dominion Weblogs compiles the weblogs of Dominion editors and writers. The topics discussed are wide-ranging, but Canadian Foreign Policy, grassroots politics, and independent media are chief among them.

As an active member of the Atlantic Regional Solidarity Network and the Maritimes-Guatemala Breaking the Silence Network, I find the Dominion invaluable. I find news and analyses that I cannot find elsewhere without spending hours on the Internet. In particular, I pore through every issue to develop a critical understanding of Canadian foreign policy. As well, I find invaluable information regarding the environmental, social, cultural and political implications of resource extraction in Latin America and Canada. I nver come away disappointed.

In my efforts to support independent journalism and keep abreast of progressive perspectives on national and global issues, I also subscribe to This Magazine, Canadian Dimension and the Walrus. More often than not it is the Dominion that offers me the most up-to-date information and the most concise analysis. I urge anyone seeking an alternative and informed voice on critical issues facing us as Canadians and as global citizens to subscribe to the Dominion.
