Carved in the mid-1800s as an entrance pole to a long house, the Snow family pole was later used as a marker for a family grave but was taken without permission in 1913 and added to a collection of theNuxalk First Nation Chief Deric Snow is a descendent of the man who carved the totem pole and says the return is a good first step because his great-grandfather’s spirit remains inside the totem and cannot be at rest until the pole is returned home.
This country was stolen.... Is Hudson Bay Company going to pay any reparations for the starting of the capitalization of this country? Know our history people... Good they are getting part of their history returned. They have been though so much pain and suffering

A Manitoba First Nation's outside-the-box solution to its housing crisisNorway House Cree Nation has more people than homes to house them, a problem that an innovative housing company is hoping to solve by making modular homes out of sea cans. Great idea Yassss!!!! Ok municipalities across the nation especially in de sky populated areas have to shed the old ways and accept the notion and approve the build of mini modular homes. Imagine how much your life would improve if you got an education, got a good paying job and paid taxes which could be used to improve the state of the reservation instead of living off the handouts, after the Chiefs and their friends syphon off their cut.
