  • Seriously, the only people who can 100% say if she is or isnt are actual natives.

    A little bit off topic but I know plenty of white presenting people who have some native ancestry that know fuck all about native culture, Mostly because of the residential school fuckery. Many of them would like to learn more about the heritage that has basically been erased from their family’s identity but hold back because they dont want to get labeled as a faker or whatever the native version of a weeaboo is. A few have gotten their status cards and have started to get involved, but who does and doesn’t get their status seems random at times.







  • srsly, the malls here are mostly empty except for a few larger clothing chains and an ungodly amount of phone stores.

    Used to have a locally run craft store, musical instrument shop, a place that sold decent quality footwear that also did repairs (holy shit is it hard to find good everyday shoes that don’t fall apart after a season), there was a place that did custom frames for paintings and large photos that also sold local artwork. Hell it used to have a food court with a few non chain takeout places there and the only dairy queen in the entire town, but that all got torn out and replaced with a Rossys.

    Sure none of those businesses were super vital for the community, but they are gone and nothing has replaced them really. Mall owners would rather half their building be empty than charge a sane amount.
