NATIVE AMERICA – Groundbreaking New Doc Series Combines Modern Science and Scholarship with Native American Traditions and Oral History to Bring to Life the World Created by America’s First Peoples
“Weaving history and science with living indigenous traditions, the series brings to life a land of massive cities connected by social networks spanning two continents, with unique and sophisticated systems of science, art and writing.
Made with the active participation of Native American communities and filmed in some of the most spectacular locations in the hemisphere, NATIVE AMERICA reveals an ancient and still thriving culture whose splendor and ingenuity is only now beginning to be fully understood and appreciated. […]
Narrated by Robbie Robertson (Mohawk and member of the famed rock group The Band), each hour of NATIVE AMERICA explores Great Nations and reveals cities, sacred stories and history long hidden in plain sight. […]
Inventive animations by Academy Award-nominated artists and 3D computer modeling bring ancient ruins to life, enabling viewers to experience the pre-Columbian world in an immersive way. The result is a new window into a 15,000-year-old story that unifies North and South America and resonates to this day.” [source]

The Canadian province of Manitoba, fed up with Ontario laws restricting the cross-provincial sale of eggs, copied the Ontario laws, sued itself all the way up to the Supreme Court, and got those laws deemed unconstitutional in ALL provinces.

In Winnipeg we have a hill colloquially called Garbage Hill, and a few weeks ago somebody put up a Hollywood-style sign at the top. It was brilliant and hilarious and tragically taken down by the city a day later. But it sparked an idea. Here is a portrait of Winnipeg, by me. I love this city so much.

I’ve seen Manitoba mentioned on this site 4 times in the last 8 years. Once, I followed the person. Twice it was about our horrible record of racism towards First Nations people, and I hung my head in shame. The last time, it was mentioning the conspiracy that we don’t actually exist.
I was a little surprised to hear mention of Sailor Moon on CBC tonight, and what a cool project this is! A guy from the indigenous Ojibway First Nation is in the process of dubbing Sailor Moon and other cartoons into the Anishinaabemowin language. Click the link for a clip!
reblog this with whatever the main driving sin of your home city is, mine is General Lane Fuckery
I ran an hour-long errand and saw three (3) instances of General Lane Fuckery and one (1) instance of Hey Everybody I’m A Big Dumb Idiot Come Spit On Me
Winnipeg Rolling Stop: we don’t believe the ‘stop’ part of ‘stop sign’ is serious.
What parts of Canada are Wade Wilson and Logan actually from tho? This is an important part of Thier relationship that’s really overlooked.
Like, Thier canadianess in general is overlooked, but if Logan is supposed to be from NWT or something and Wade is from, IDK, Vancouver, there needs to be an inter-canadian smackdown.
Responses from The Canadians so far:
Logan: Multiple canon sources and Actual Canadians agree he’s from somewhere in northern Alberta, (Fox Lake and Cold Lake have both been cited)
Wade: True to form, there are multiple conflicting canons about which part of Canada Deapool is from, but all the Canadians agree that in order to get Like That ™, Wade Wilson is 100% definitely for certain from Winnepeg.
How Dare You!!!
I wanted Wade to be from Toronto! No! I do not claim him as one of mine! I don’t!
