Messages written in the #Lekwungen #Indigenous language and English were #unveiled Wednesday at an outdoor ceremony at the 125-year-old building..

Why #Navajo is the world’s hardest language to learn
The tonal #NativeAmerican #language differentiates words based on #pitch and makes Spanish conjugation look like child’s play.
by Tim Brinkhof, November 27, 2023
"Concentrated in #Arizona and #NewMexico, the Navajo are one of the largest Native American groups in the United States. Consisting of up to 400,000 tribal members, they are thought to have originated from northwestern #Canada and were forcibly moved to their present location by the federal government in the 1860s during #TheLongWalk.
"Traditional Navajo families live in circular mud-and-log homes called hogans, create intricate ceremonial paintings made of sand, and hold four-day runs (a ritual called kinaalda) to celebrate young girls turning into adult women.
"Arguably, the most important aspect of Navajo culture is their language. Also known as #Diné #Bizaad (the “people’s language”), Navajo is similar to #Apache, from which it separated between 1300 and 1525 AD. Both Navajo and Apache belong to a language family called #Athabaskan, which, providing evidence for their geographic origin, is also spoken by native tribes in #Yukon, #Alaska, and #BritishColumbia. As with other Native American languages, #globalization and #discrimination threaten Navajo’s survival. In 2017, the number of fluent speakers was estimated at 170,000, less than half of the tribe’s population.
"Learning Navajo isn’t easy. Compared to other complicated but more widely spoken languages, like Korean or Arabic, there are limited resources available to non-speakers. Mastery of Navajo language also requires a level of familiarity with Navajo customs, something even some Indigenous people no longer have access to.
"That said, the most daunting aspect of learning Navajo is the language itself. Described by linguists Robert W. Young and William Morgan as a 'hopeless maze of irregularities,' its unique grammar, syntax, and tonal pronunciation are so indecipherable to outsiders that, during the Second World War, the American army used Navajo as a form of military code."

A lovely Agaricus mystery found growing amongst twinflower plants in a coniferous habitat. Too large and stocky to be A. diminutivus but shares many of the same features including a wonderfully sweet odor. The gills are very free from the stem and are more pallid than pink. Perhaps Agaricus kerriganii?

The largest #FirstNation in #BritishColumbia by population has #voted to take over authority of #child and #family services for its residents.
Results released Friday of a vote held by the #CowichanTribes show 83 per cent of the 416 citizens who cast ballots were in favour of the new #law that would prioritize supports to keep children with their families or place them with relatives or in other #Indigenous homes.
The #SalvationArmy has filed a #lawsuit against several #BritishColumbia #ChildrensAid orgs alleging they coerced #UnwedMothers into putting up their #children for #adoption.
Named as defendants are the Children’s Aid Society of Vancouver, B.C; B.C. Children’s Aid Society of the Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver & Children’s Aid Societies ABC.

“Tidal wetlands are natural breakwaters,” says Eric Balke, senior restoration biologist and Fraser River Estuary program manager with the conservation group.
But not here. For decades, logs have broken free from storage facilities and industrial sites throughout the Fraser River Estuary. They appear as pieces of natural art dotting the landscape – but in reality, they are deadly.

@vevabc Love my EV, a Bolt, and my heat pump. I don't fly anymore, & I eat awesome vegan food. One interesting problem has been figuring out what to do with the extra money saved. Spreading this good problem to others is a goal. How do we create enough new homes in #BritishColumbia that are affordable & energy efficient? How do we get to #farefreetransit quickly since private automobiles are not the answer. How do we bring about healthy food choices for our schools & communities?
A tribute to when I lived on the Sunshine Coast of #BritishColumbia and saw a flotilla of sailboats sailing around the harbour every Saturday. What a sight!

Photograph of snowy owls in Boundary Bay, #BritishColumbia in 2012. Their population exploded that winter so many of them made their way down to BC. I call this one "I've Got Your Back".
