Today (well, in Canada at least) is National Aboriginal Day, a day for First Nations, Inuit and Métis people to celebrate and share their cultural heritage. And how did I mark the occasion? Well, I did bake some bannock last night and had some leftover this morning with jam… does that count?
This morning, walking with Mack (my Golden Retriever), I saw some graffiti spray painted on a garage door, “I’m a creative Cree native!” it read. While I can’t approve the support this artist chose for her/his work, it sure reads a lot easier than if I’d have painted it: “I’m a creative person of mixed Métis and Hungarian heritage!” Just doesn’t have the same ring…
