[A-List] [Fwd: [Survivingcanada] Announcement of start of project.]

[Macdonald Stainsby <mstainsby@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is just a short announcement that on Wednesday, March 18th,  the
project “The Fourth World is Right Here: Surviving the Nation called
Canada” will begin. The general though not specific itinerary is:
Montreal—BC, and then BC—Arctic/sub-Arctic north/Denendeh. Return route
unclear. Along the way, I have received invitations to visit a number of
Nations who are facing threats to their survival, environmental in
particular. My main destination is to attend a conference in the
Mackenzie Valley that will discuss indigenous response to the proposed
largest industrial project in Canada’s history [Mackenzie Pipeline],
held by the Arctic Indigenous Youth Alliance.

For reasons of research, finance and simple preference, the method of
travel will be hitchhiking.

Information on nations whose struggles need to be brought “above the
radar” to many non-indigenous Canadians will have interviews and issues
described here:
http://independentmedia.ca/survivingcanada/
this is the main page of the project.

photo galleries will be here, as well as links to recent hitchhiking
stories:

The main hitchhiking list is here:

As well, the National Film Board has decided to set up a blog and
photogallery; details on that will be announced as that is up and
functioning.

While I’m on the road, obviously please give me a few days to reply to
you. Thanks for understanding. I’ll have two separate addresses for
contact: one, the usual mstainsby@xxxxxxxxx, as well as the mouthful:
macdonaldstainsby@xxxxxxxx

I look forward to seeing you all soon enough.
