speaking of things old - there have been numerous articles recently in the local print media regarding the haida native land claims in british columbia. one such article appeared in this weekend's paper which i dearly would like to post for you to read (i'm in touch with the columnist asking if he would email it to me), but from that article, are things like this: "one thing is certain, the haida are unique. that uniqueness begins with their language itself, for as anthropologist margaret blackman points out, the haida speak a language that has no demonstrable genetic relationship with any other. whatever their origins in more conventional terms, it need only be said that the haida have continuously occupied their territory on the queen charlotte islands, dall island and the south end of prince of wales island in alaska since before europe existed as a concept" i think they are separate from the aboriginal north american - maybe inuit. in the scant 228 years since the white man's "discovery" of the islands devastation has, of course, been wrought. i can get real upset thinking about this one.
