Pampered Protesters

Let the Games begin! In prepartion for exponential vehicle traffic to Whistler for 2010 events the Man has decided to improve the treacherous Sea To Sky Highway. A part of this plan includes constructing a new route for the highway through West Vancouver, one of the area's most scenic and affluent neighbourhoods. An assortment of conerned eco-tourists and well-heeled NIMBY's have gathered to blockade the development citing the need to protect the natural habitat, currently consisting of a pond and a frog. As an alternative they suggest pounding a massive tunnel through the side of a mountain. I hope to post pics from teh actual protest line, but for now check out the link.

My First Yuwipi Ceremony!

A few weeks ago, upon invitation from a co-worker, I attended a Yuwipi; a Lakota-based healing ceremony in which a shaman contacts our ancestors from the spirit world. It was very powerful, but alas no pictures! I also hope to attend a sweat lodge and pow-wow in the summer months. Check out the link for more info...
