James Bay Cree Nation Responds to Licensing Decision of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
"On October 17, 2012 the CNSC announced that it would issue a licence to Strateco Resources Inc. to proceed with an advanced exploration project at the Matoush uranium ore body site, located near the Cree community of Mistissini. Strateco Resources Inc.'s project at Matoush is the most advanced proposed uranium project to date in Eeyou Istchee, and also in Quebec."

The Chronicles of Jim Saahuun update 07-11-2012
I have neglected Jim Saahuun for a season, school is another full-time job itself... he is still in a coma kaw. I am working as a journalist again this summer. Another school of storytelling itself.
Mostly, I have been working on this narrative project offline; on paper and pen whenever I get the chance to sit down and think creatively.
During the winter semester at Concordia University, is where the last recent episode actually took place in an academic paper/ creative art book format for my First Peoples Sacred Stories course; where (James) Jim Taayuu presented his presentation just right after their near-fatal accident which landed Jim Saahuun in a coma. Fusing traditional and western philosophy was quite the headache however, it is workable and educational. It seems like every new episode that I write becomes even larger with every word spoken, then written, then translated, then painted. The more the setting needs the space to be created, the more time this narrative needs to flourished properly, and the histories of the characters take root even deeper than what I have initially conceived.
I am beginning to illustrate some of the characters, mostly creating Mr Saahuun, in order to give face to faceless characters and to aid me visualize their interactions. (I will need reference models pretty soon.)
This narrative project has been developing and growing on me as a storyteller for the past decade or so and I am determined to continue creating this project until it's manifested in its entirety as I originally dreamt it at the beginning.
I would like to thank all of my teachers, family, friends, even strangers that I have met along the way, who have either discouraged me (we all need motivational reasons), others who encouraged me to be creative, in mind, in spirit, on canvas, on paper, or in any or every other medium that I have been using since I began on this journey as a human being and as a Storyteller from birth. Words of encouragement are important, whether they are directed to an adult, a child, or youth, or even an elder. You all know who you are, mishtii jiniskuumitinaawao.
Akuuda, Wachiya. nii Amanda T. Sam

Insomnia
Estoy muy contento de haber dormido en realidad esta vez. Fue una buena parte del tiempo también, nueve horas. Esperemos que este descanso será que mi mente va a escribir y crear en la actualidad. Tener un buen domingo mis amigos.

News: Hell on Earth's Top Ten
Top Ten Ecological Disaster areas around the globe... (green.sympatico.msn.ca)
http://green.sympatico.msn.ca/article.aspx?cp-documentid=740007
Guess what's no. 6? James Bay, Quebec! This is what I've been trying to say, Hydroelectric Power isn't the cleanest form of energy there is out there (despite their efforts in their latest attempts/ ads on TV). I would know, I grew up in that area. Not only did it affect the environment, it also affected the people, the Crees/ Iiyiyuuch on a physical, psychological, emotional, and on a spiritual level. I am always weary to drink from the tap, or consume fish from the river whenever am back up north.
Disrupted Harmony only breeds Chaos and Confusion. I couldn't ignore this article, and it's pretty much just a general summary of what the true details are. The photo links in the link above only has limited photographs, the rest is yet to be published. People need to educate themselves more on where their energies they utilize on a day-to-day come from. Take what you only need. Leave the rest to replenish itself. The northern 'lifeless' wilderness are nothing but. They are filled with life, people and natural splendour!
Can't help but it just reminds me of dense sadness on a collective scale. Most people try to ignore it but the feeling is must too strong to deny. Iiyiyuuch are stronger than we seem, its just the matter of digging deep within to find the strength and courage to keep on striving through this reality. Modern Civilization is the both a blessing and an awful curse. I hope it crumbles under its own weight like any other past 'great civilizations' in history - rebuilds itself anew, learning from the mistakes of the past - for the next generations to come.
Iiyiyuuch, a literal translation is: simply human. If one human suffers in one part of the world, there is a butterfly effect rippling on the other side of the coin. This was my 2-cents and random mental rant on something I read during my afternoon break and commented on. akuuda, muujiktaa, buutheejaa!
