Who would have thought this would happen? Especially in a province with a city that has one of the highest Indigenous populations in Canada? Big expectations come with his election.

At the 1973 Academy Awards, Sacheen Littlefeather refused the Academy Award for Best Actor on behalf of Marlon Brando who won for his role in The Godfather. She carried a letter from Brando in which he explains he refused the award in protest of American treatment of the Native Americans.

In this interview afterward, Brandon explained his position and why he had taken such a view.

Non-spiritually minded people will not get any of this, but "being religious" is not such a bad thing, considering the following statistics about the world's population: Christians—2.2 billion followers (representing 31.5% of the world's population) Muslims—1.6 billion (23.2%) Non-religious people—1.1 billion (16.3%) Hindus—1 billion (15.0%). Not only that, Jerusalem is the center of the "religious" world.

The truth is not everyone is going to be right about what some cultures would call the "after life", and it is this writer's opinion that it is your responsibility as an individual to establish your own spiritual or religious beliefs. It is not anyone else's responsibility, it is your responsibility, as an individual before God, if there is such a thing.

Food for thought from me

For those families in the Edmonton area who meet a certain financial criteria, there are grants available through programs like "Jump start".

To be eligible for funding for one or more children, families must first meet specific financial criteria as per Revenue Canada’s Low-Income Cut-Offs (LICO) chart. Jumpstart uses the furthest column to the right of the chart for eligibility.

Don't let your children miss out on such exceptional opportunities like this. He or she could be involved in a sport of their liking and choosing.

Jumpstart Individual Child Grants assist families in financial need with the costs of enrolling their child/children in sport and recreation activities.

Personally I had no comfort cookie, or someone to run to. I am and always alone in most of the struggles I have had. I learned however to keep breathing, assess the situation, plot the next course, take the next step, and keep moving. I learned to take the nest step, one after the other, one tired fumbling step at a time. I learned to keep going, no matter what. This is the making of a quality you can call "tenacity."

The deadliest sniper of WWI was Francis Pegahmagabow, an Ojibwa soldier. He's the most decorated First Nations soldier in Canadian history.

For those who need to hear this. This is a quality you should aspire to have in this life and world. No matter what happens, if it really does not kill you, learn to get up, and keep moving. Keep breathing, pain and feeling sore will eventually go away and if it doesn't, there is a pill for that! haha! No really, this is a quality you should aspire to have. Keep moving forward.

Part VI of the T.A.S series is for an exclusive audience only. Judging by the numbers, I have a readership that obviously is taking an interest in what is going on here. I need not tell you that if you did not grow up in the same place I did, this exclusive content would not interest you.

Part VII will conclude this series when it is posted.

This is a very positive sign to see, share and have on any reservation that is contending with the fentanyl and carfentanil epidemic. In the past 3 years there have been approximately 16 deaths of young people on 3 reserves that are in close proximity to each other. These drugs are killers and are a danger to youth and adults alike.

If you are really determined to do something, and you really believe in it. Nothing will stop you. Nothing. You do not need permission to do what you set out to do.

If you are of First Nation descent, you should probably take a moment to watch this video. If you are not of First Nation descent, you should probably take a moment to watch this video.

There is so much misconceptions about the even the public's perceptions on First Nation peoples and culture.

If you think you understand, I do not even think you do.

Most traumatic experiences begin in your childhood or adolescence. Physical and pyschological trauma can be deadly to your health if left untreated.

26/07/2023

Trauma does cause psychological damage. Sometimes it is irreparable if the individual who suffers it and is subjected to it unwilling, refuses to acknowledge it or is unwilling to get professional help to treat it. Facing what caused it is sometimes so difficult that a good number of people I know will never recover from it. In the end they die from addiction, poor mental health, or su***de. Without the proper help, trauma is a killer.

Seek help if you have suffered something terrible in your past.
