    What the River Wants to Be
    Aired: April 22, 2026
    Estuaries are a meeting of two worlds: the river and the sea. For thousands of years, estuaries were also central to some forms of Indigenous agriculture on the West Coast. Producer Pauline Holdsworth visits Vancouver Island, where there’s an ambitious effort underway to bring an estuary back to life as a cultural and ecological space.

  2. @Mannanan Sen̓áḵw for Cowichan?

    The Cowichan decision does not demand the surrender of fee-simple lands, it demands Richmond and Prov of BC negotiate a resolution.

    I'm guessing if the Cowichan were offered publicly owned land that could establish what Squamish were provided to establish a Cowichan "Sen̓áḵw", that issue would be resolved.

    But Richmond and Prov of BC would rather force years of uncertainty than to face the responsibility history has laid at their feet.

    Cowichan housing success would lay bare Richmond and the prov's inability to resolve these issues.

    The breathtaking hypocrisy of the howls for “rule of law”

    For most of Canada’s history, the rule of law has been openly flouted when it comes to Indigenous land and rights.

  4. @Mannanan
    The conservative voices vilifying the Cowichan decision, arguing it removes property rights is full of contradictions.

    The court established that the Cowichan tribe proved they had exclusively occupied Lulu Island for generations, -> "owned"

    In arguing against the Cowichan, conservative voices are saying government should have the right to take control of land who's use and ownership is established and obvious. and use if for their own gain?

    Isn't this precisely the opposite of conservative philosophy?

    The property rights noise is a pathetic effort to game ignorance anger prejudice and division for political gain.

  10. I met Harold Joe, a #Cowichan based #Indigenous knowledge keeper/teacher, actor & film producer, in 2015. He had come to Victoria to audition for a lead role in the Telus Optik webseries that I worked on for a few years. We casted him.
    He's now co-owner & producer at Orca Cove Media with my old film production executive producer, Leslie Bland.

    There's two #IndigenousFilm screenings at #UVIC in March with 2 films from Ocra Cove.

  15. #Happy #WorldIntrovertDay 😊💚💜
    May you celebrate it, anyway you choose.
    For many misunderstood #introverts - #solitude & quiet 1-on-1 quality time with people we love/trust are the best gifts in the world.
    I value those personal gifts more than material gifts. I'm not necessarily antisocial - more selectively social because most folks just exhaust me.

  20. The Quw’utsun (Cowichan) First Nation was exactly right in 2017:

    ""We don’t want to argue about settlers' interests versus First Nations' interests — we want to argue about what the Crown did wrong.””

    They knew that if the case was framed as ‘taking over private property rights’, that it would be politicized and a lightning rod for racism and misinformation when that was not the point of their claim, which was against the Crown.

    ""It would be wrong. It’s wrong morally, it’s wrong legally. It’s pitting interests against each other when the person who caused the problem is the Crown.””

    Another excellent report from CBC's Jason Proctor.

  21. I bet if we print out the face photos of the #Nazis who attended/were a part of that #racist conference & posted them at many different firearms ranges across BC - more of these #fascists can be identified.
