@FriendlyCove Hey Sanford, haven’t seen you on here for a while (since before Covid, I think). Things good with you?

I've made many Eclipse masks during my career. These are just a few. Remember the solar eclipse is this Monday, Apr 8th! If you'd like it to last longer.. consider purchasing one of my eclipse pieces to have in your home or office! Visit my site to contact me about pricing.

My bentwood box pinhole camera is now complete! Made especially for the talented Canadian landscape photographer @RonSmidPhoto Named "The Journey", it tells the story of Yuquot's history and the many people who have visited and inhabited our lands for thousands of years.

@Biesseman Ignorance and aggression from someone Indigenous was very disappointing to say the least.

@FriendlyCove Read the thread. It frustrates me this sort of ignorance persists. That it continues to traumatize you and your community is heartbreaking. I hope you can focus on the knowledge that you have many friends and allies.

1. Now that the dust has settled on this conversation, and this out of control person is blocked, I need to say one final thing about this, to correct what this individual assumed and to set things right. Children like me were CONFISCATED from our homes. I was taken in 1974.

@ThoughtsNations I’m an artist and have no wish for these arguments, so yes, I’m deleting things now. You’ve unnecessarily name called my wife enough—who is our ally, and for some reason you followed ME amidst this entire thing. Why?—I don’t know.

5. If you’re NOT Indigenous, listen to us. Many of you have been brushing this under the rug and feel some contempt to allow us to grieve or gather our strengths. If you ARE Indigenous and you did NOT know about this, I implore you, LEARN it. After all, you’re related to us.

4. What my wife did was quash a troll’s attempt to make it seem like “chiefs were in favour” to keep kids in residential school as if they approved. She looked into the article, as this troll cleverly only showed the newspaper headline. They weren’t in favour. THEY HAD NO CHOICE.

@ThoughtsNations She knows that and has never defended residential schools. I was in one. She knows through me what occurred. That Olivia Chow bot implied the chiefs “liked” the schools but Marlana quashed that in your thread saying what the chiefs’ impossible predicament was—FROM their words.

1/Regarding a racist sign in our city: As soon as it was brought to our attention, Bylaw officers immediately searched the area & all bus stops, but no signs were present. Perhaps being removed by someone else. This vile garbage isn’t welcome in our community, or anywhere else.
