The so-called "Mackenzie Decision" in British Columbia (Canada ) makes exactly the kind of world leading sustainable management of forests and biota that the 1999 New Zealand Labour government undid in the year 2000 when it rescinded the West Coast Accord and legislated avoidance of compensating industry the millions of dollars of economic and financial damage inflicted on them by the government decisions. Forest and Bird, Native Forest Action, the NZ Greens and Labour should take note of the mental backwater their environmental thinking is in. Five million acres allocated to sustainably managed BC reserve Canadian action shows up New Zealand Labour government environmental actions relating to the West Coast state indigenous forests to be the nonsense they are. One source of some of this information can be seen at Working for Change. Another is the Christian Science Monitor where Todd Wilkinson wrote an article, published on 10th December 2000. This page uses some of his material. He said it took eight years of bitter haggling between Canadian environmentalists, native Americans, loggers, and miners, resulting in a benchmark conservation pact that protects a vast sweep of virgin wilderness the size of West Virginia. The so-called "Mackenzie Decision" approved last month by the provincial government, makes British Columbia the only jurisdiction in North America to meet the UN goal of protecting 12 percent of its land base.

Vancouver Island Loggers versus Conservationists: The Fight for the Forests of Vancouver Island By Jordan Mejias Captain Cook was the first European to set foot on the large island off Canada's Pacific coast. Today Vancouver Island could be taken for a green vacation paradise, and in places that is actually what it is. Yet the impact of remorseless logging in the northern part of the island cannot be overlooked If one were to load various central European mountain ranges of medium altitude onto a generously proportioned freighter, transport them to the other side of the world, and off-load them into the Pacific Ocean, the result would bear a close resemblance to Vancouver Island. At least on first acquaintance, this Canadian island offers woodland scenes, neither particularly dramatic nor extraordinarily exotic. The landscape does not put on any improper airs and only gradually reveals its secrets. But when it does so, all comparisons with cosy old-world regions must be cast aside. Here, on an elongated piece of land the size of North Rhine-Westphalia, the largest of the German states, live 600,000 people, at least half of whom are settled in and around Victoria. Proud Colonial Heritage In order to experience the proverbial open spaces and loneliness of the Canadian wilderness, an excursionist would have to strike out north, on the one and only road leading in that direction, the much traveled Highway 19 along the island's east coast. Branching off from the highway are former logging roads which were surfaced with tarmac only in the seventies. One of them forces its way right through to the serrated west coast, crossing in its path the chain of mountains which traverses the length of the island. Many settlements are accessible only over rough gravel roads, some only by ship or helicopter. The last ice age has left its mark on the spectacular Scandinavian-like geography of the west coast: fjords, which are here called inlets, cut deep into the wooded mountains. Ships laden with mail and provisions chug through a seascape of endless greens and blues.

16. Canadian Popping Corn - A History Of Popping Corn Excavations in the Bat Cave of west Central New ancient village sites and in tombsof early native americans. In tombs on the east coast of Peru, researchers http://www.canadianpoppingcorn.com/cornhistory.html

Corn is a grass native to the Americas. Although it probably originated in Mexico, it was grown in China, Sumatra and India years before most other countries. Archaeologists have uncovered proof that popcorn had been around long before the arrival of the Europeans in the New World. An 80,000-year-old fossil pollen found 200 feet below Mexico City has been identified as corn pollen. Evidence of corn in central Mexico suggests it was used there as much as 9,000 years earlier, where it was domesticated from wild grass. Excavations in the Bat Cave of West Central New Mexico in 1948 and 1950 turned up popcorn ears nearly 5,600 years old, according to radio-carbon tests. The exact origin of the grain remains unknown, but tiny ears of corn have been discovered at ancient village sites and in tombs of early Native Americans. Cultivated corn is known to have existed in the southwestern U.S. for at least 3,000 years.

Irving Goldman on the possible cultural and linguistic contacts between the American/Canadian North West Coast Natives and Polynesia posted by Yuri Kuchinsky to sci.archaeology Previous to writing this book, Goldman had also written ANCIENT POLYNESIAN SOCIETY, a study of Polynesian traditions. This gives him a very special and unique perspective. This is why his comments should carry an additional weight. This is what he writes on p. 1, "For reasons that remain to be discovered, the Indian tribes of this area [NW Coast] share formal principles of rank, lineage, and kinship with Pacific islanders." And Goldman writes further, "The Kwakiutl, especially, seem very close to what I have designated as the "traditional" Polynesian society. They share with Polynesians a status system of graded hereditary ranking of individuals and of lineages; a social class system of chiefs ("nobles"), commoners, and slaves; concepts of primogeniture and seniority of descent lines; a concept of abstract supernatural powers as special attributes of chiefs; and a lineage system that leans toward patriliny, but acknowledges the maternal lines as well. Finally, Kwakiutl and eastern Polynesians, especially, associate ambiguity of lineage membership with "Hawaiian" type kinship, a fully classificatory system that does not distinguish between maternal and paternal sides, or between siblings and cousins." This is quite a list of very specific anthropological similarities. All this can be explained very parsimoniously by the derivation of the Hawaiians from the NW Coast.

Between the U.S. and Canada is the longest undefended border in the world. Canada borders three oceans, the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic. It is the second largest country behind Russia. It is made up of ten provinces and three territories. In 1999, Nunavut "our land" was split from the Northwest Territories to be the homeland of the Inuit. Canada's Landforms . Canada is from an Iroquois word meaning "village". The weight of Ice Age glaciers created a large low basin. This is why Canada has more lakes and inland waterways than any other country. The Eastern Highlands - Appalachian and Laurentian Highlands are rolling hills and low mountains with forests and deepwater harbors along the rocky coast. The St, Lawrence and Great Lakes Lowlands - highly urban area with fertile soil, good transportation, and most of Canada's farms, people, and industries. Niagara Falls is found here.
