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.

one blurry click gone wrong
So as I was attempting to archive the 2006-2007 posts under the influence of... (cough, "juniper-green tea") earlier this week, I deleted the f*&&#$ thing... (ya think I would've learned my lesson from previous experience nah?)
So far, I still have the Cree Word of the Week backups on my newly-revived classic laptop [other Vista Laptop Sux Big Time]. I am going to continue to post new ones, starting next week or so. I think they were also posted somewhere inside bebo istchii. Um, uhh... [lost my thought] Yea! Here's the 2007 collection [.
Akuuda, Wachiya!
[Yes, that's what the definition of cat stated in the cree dictionary!]
