Committee Plan 8-9 Easy Bakers Corner – 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake 4 tablespoons flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa 1 egg 3 tablespoons milk, 3 tablespoons oil 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional), A small splash of vanilla extract 1 large coffee mug Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous). And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night! Handy Tips: Coffee filters ...who knew! (1000 at the dollar store for almost nothing!) 1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers. 2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling. 3. Protect China - Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish. 4. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust. What Can you please share? The following is a short list of Elders suggestions of what might be shared: Your local Newsletters/Upcoming Local Events/Prayers/Poems/Quotes/Comments/Storytelling/Drawings/Articles of Interest/Native Songs Lyrics/Wellness Seminars/Obituaries/Birthday Wishes, etc. Submissions are best forwarded to me via email by the 15th of the preceding month.

Many other women have vanished from the streets without a trace. The February 14th Women's Memorial March is an opportunity for the community and those that support us to come together to grieve the loss of our beloved sisters and remember the women who are still missing. The February 14th Women's Memorial March is sponsored by organizations and individuals like you and is held to honour the lives of women who die each year due to violence and to remember the more than 40 women who are still missing. Each year the Memorial March committee must raise funds to pay for such things as hall rental, sound system, food, red & yellow roses, memorial brochures, blankets, posters, candles, tobacco and other expenses. If you would like to sponsor a component of this year's march please call Marlene at (604) 665-3005. Please make cheques payable to the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre, Women's Memorial March, 302 Columbia St. Vancouver, BC V6A 4J1.

  • General Overview
    General Overview Benefits of a treaty A treaty with Tla’amin Nation (Sliammon First Nation) will bring certainty with respect to all of Tla’amin Nation’s Aboriginal rights throughout Tla’amin’s claimed traditional territory, which covers approximately 609,000 hectares including marine areas. It will provide Tla’amin with the modern governance tools to build strong and workable relationships with federal, provincial and local governments. Canada, British Columbia and Tla’amin Nation expect that a treaty will resolve long-standing issues regarding undefined Aboriginal rights and title, and bring certainty and economic benefits not only to Tla’amin members but to the entire region. Tla’amin Nation government The Tla’amin Nation Final Agreement will operate within the framework of the Constitution of Canada, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms will apply to the Tla’amin Nation government. With the exception of determining Indian status, after a transition period the Indian Act will no longer apply to Tla’amin Nation, its lands or members. Instead, constitutionally-protected self-government provisions will enable Tla’amin to make its own decisions on matters related to the preservation of its culture, the exercise of its treaty rights and the operation of its government. In October 2009, the Tla’amin community ratified a constitution in accordance with the treaty. The constitution provides that the Tla’amin Nation government will be democratically and financially accountable to its members. The Tla’amin constitution will come into force on the effective date of the treaty. Residents on Tla’amin Lands who are not Tla’amin Nation members may participate in the decision-making processes of a Tla’amin public institution, such as a school or health board, if the activities of that institution directly and significantly affect them.

  • B.C. First Nations Pronunciation Guide
    A Guide to the Pronunciation of Indigenous Communities and Organizations in BC The Pronunciation Guide offered below is from the September 2018 Guide to Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia. Please note there may be some variation from this version due to periodic updates that have occurred since then. For changes, please email: [email protected]. This Guide contains aids to the pronunciation of communities and organizations listed in the Excel Database “Guide to Indigenous Organizations and Services in British Columbia” (Previously known as The Guide to Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia). The original Pronunciation Guide was created with input from First Nations and other Aboriginal organizations, as well as from the First Peoples’ Cultural Council. British Columbia has a vast wealth of First Nations languages and cultures. There are 7 distinct language families, completely unrelated to each other. Within these families there are 34 different First Nations languages and at least 93 different dialects (varieties) of those languages. Besides these 34 living languages, at least three languages which were spoken in British Columbia are now sleeping.1 All of these languages contain a rich inventory of sounds, many of which are not found in English. When preparing this Guide, we asked representatives to help us understand how to pronounce the traditional name of their community or organization. The pronunciation equivalents we have developed here are meant as an introductory guide. The final authority on a pronunciation rests with the community. We encourage you to gain a first-hand understanding of how a name is pronounced by speaking directly with, and being guided by, representatives from each community.

Wesley Pue, General Editor The Law and Society Series explores law as a socially embedded phenom- enon. It is premised on the understanding that the conventional division of law from society creates false dichotomies in thinking, scholarship, edu- cational practice, and social life. Books in the series treat law and society as mutually constitutive and seek to bridge scholarship emerging from inter- disciplinary engagement of law with disciplines such as politics, social theory, history, political economy, and gender studies. A list of other titles in this series appears at the end of this book. First Nations Cultural Heritage and Law is the Wrst of two volumes. The sec- ond volume is Protection of First Nations Cultural Heritage: Laws, Policy, and Reform, edited by Catherine Bell and Robert K. Paterson. Both are in the Law and Society series. 00Bell&Napoleon_full_text:00Macfarlane_full_text.qxd 7/18/2008 12:52 PM Page iii Edited by Catherine Bell and Val Napoleon First Nations Cultural Heritage and Law Case Studies, Voices, and Perspectives 00Bell&Napoleon_full_text:00Macfarlane_full_text.qxd 7/18/2008 12:52 PM Page iv © 2008 All rights for Chapters 1, 4, 5, and 7 of this book are reserved to the authors and the following First Nation collaborators, respectively: Catherine Bell and the U’mista Cultural Society; Eric McLay and the Hul’qumi’num Treaty Group; Catherine Bell and the Mookakin Cultural Society; and Catherine Bell and the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket Tribal Council.
