    He was the jokester of all the workers that day, and loved trying different poses. these are moments when their personality just pored out. You could never fake this with someone going out to do it for real, with real danger. I found images after of iron workers in the 1930's in New York, doing the same actions of laying down or playing around on the iron beams.: by dustin, Views[421]
         		 Angela believes there’s no future without traditions. Only by honouring the teachings of their ancestors, the Nation will be able to ensure the wellbeing of their youngest ones. “Every time my paddle touches the water and goes down in for each stroke, it’s like connecting to the past,” she says. “When I bring it back out of the water and reach forward, to me it’s like a prayer. It’s a belief that I’m bringing the past forward into the future and making the connection between our ancestors and my children, all of the children of this community.”: by carlostello, Views[450]
         		 During the Whey-ah-Wichen Canoe Festival, kids 10 or younger have the opportunity to compete against each other to earn cash prices. Getting them involved early in the races serves a big purpose: to ensure that they stay away from drugs and alcohol, as addiction is a serious problem Canadian First Nations face. “Substance abuse is an issue in our community and one way to combat that is to have the kids involved in other healthy activities and cultural teaching in a way that they can be involved in the culture,” Angela explains. “It’s gaining personal identity and believing in themselves enough so they’re able to say no.”: by carlostello, Views[662]
         		 One of the key elements in the Nation’s plan to bring canoe racing back is the Whey-ah-Wichen Canoe Festival, a two-day competition in which Aboriginal people from all along the West Coast of North America compete in canoe races. The festival is held in Tsleil-Waututh land. “I think [the festival] is really important because we’re reviving something that this community did years ago in hosting other communities to come here and to compete in healthy traveling and healthy racing together,” explains Angela George, the woman leading the efforts to reestablish canoe racing.: by carlostello, Views[835]
         		 By reviving canoe racing, the Tsleil-Waututh people hope to bring the Nation together. And more importantly, to engage their youth in their traditions. This year, kids as young as seven were introduced to the art of paddling by some of the Nation’s best racers. For four months, veterans and newcomers gathered together five times a week to paddle. “It feels like the community is coming together again,” says 13-year-old Meghan Ormandy. : by carlostello, Views[448]
     
    Through hundreds of years of colonialism and exploitation, Aboriginal people —or as they’re called in Canada, First Nations— have experienced the steady loss of their traditions and culture. One of those traditions is war canoe racing. Paddling competitions were vital for Aboriginal people after British settlement because they allowed them to circumvent the prohibition to gather in large groups. In the past few decades, though, canoe racing has faded due to Aboriginal migration to cities. Regardless, there are those who still fight for the survival of traditions. The Tsleil-Waututh people are one example. They are determined to revive canoe racing in the Nation.: by carlostello, Views[900]
         		 Paris is the city of lights, the city de l'amour. It is also the city where children feeding the pigeons can teach us that each moment should be cherished as it is special and has a story to tell.: by snewman, Views[373]

         		 Winter is beautiful - I love the silence when it snows. This photo was taken just after it had finished snowing, and I decided to take a walk by myself to clear my head. We walk right by tiny things like this everyday and fail to see the beauty in something so simple.: by laura-beth, Views[628]
         		 I was lucky to catch this shot with the amount of moving this guy did. One of my favourite places is the zoo, as much as I hate the idea of wild animals being confined to such small places. : by laura-beth, Views[651]
         		 it's as if God painted this with the most colourful brush strokes. The day I took this, had been a pretty chaotic day however, ending it with this made it much more peaceful - not to mention there was a double rainbow. : by laura-beth, Views[566]
     
    I grew up here, and I feel at home here. Camp life is simply the best and here on this dock is where I would go when I needed to spend sometime on my own, journaling or just thinking. : by laura-beth, Views[556]
         		 Autumn is my absolute favourite season, and I love when it rains. Rain is so peaceful, and the colors of the sky before, during, and after it rains are dull but beautiful. Fall showers are brilliant. : by laura-beth, Views[625]

         		 After the injunction was granted, protestors did whatever they could to prevent Kinder Morgan from working. In this image, two protestors lay on the ground in front of a log they placed on the road to prevent the Kinder Morgan work truck behind the police from getting up the road. So far, over 30 people have been arrested from crossing the injunction line. The fight continues... : by connorstefanison, Views[286]
         		 Over 500 supporters rallied against Kinder Morgan on this night. Many people were holding candles, and most dressed in black. This was done to mourn the death of the justice system, because the supreme court ordered an injunction that the protestors had to allow Kinder Morgan to work. The background people are standing above a coffin. : by connorstefanison, Views[294]
         		 Protestors constructed a camp beside the coordinates of a proposed bore hole site. In this image, Tsoh-thoht, an indigenous woman, plays the drums after she lit the sacred fire. The sacred fire would go on to burn for just over two weeks. : by connorstefanison, Views[274]
     
    After the first incident, anti-pipeline supporters have monitored the mountain 24/7. In this image, a protestor escorts Kinder Morgan employees out of the forest, where they were about to remove more trees. : by connorstefanison, Views[278]
         		 Towards the end of August 2014, Kinder Morgan Energy illegally cut down 13 Red Alders in the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area, in my hometown of Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. They did this to drill a bore hole, so that they could do surveys to expand the Trans Mountain Pipeline, right through Burnaby Mountain. In this image, two Kinder Morgan employees are standing in the clearing as their company helicopter flies above. : by connorstefanison, Views[525]

         		 Once in the water, the parent calls the chick until the family is reunited. The male then stays with the chick for about 8 weeks, feeding it and teaching it to feed and look after itself. The pair swims south, joining huge rafts of birds, and the group is eventually reunited with the females. Brunnich's guillemots live at sea except during the breeding season.: by beelover, Views[628]
         		 Brunnich's guillemot chicks are fed by both parents for 18-25 days. Then they have to make a leap of faith from high up on the cliff to the water below. When the chick jumps, a parent, usually the male, follows immediately and shadows the chick on its descent. Unable to fly, the chick spreads its wings and feet to give it some sort of gliding ability. Sometimes the second parent also follows to make sure all is well.: by beelover, Views[584]
         		 The availability of real estate on the cliff is very limited with only a few narrow ledges offering suitable sites. Birds nest in a dense, cacophonous crowd. The noise has to be heard to be believed. Perhaps it is fortunate that Brunnich's guillemots require less than 1 square foot per bird. Eggs are laid on the bare rock, their shape preventing them from rolling off. Adults have to land precisely when returning to their nest.: by beelover, Views[618]
