Lubicon
THe lubicon people find themselves marginalized out of socialtcy because many people have tried to develope their land without asking. They started to protest once it got out of control. They decided that if the people would stay off there land they wouldn't make a big deal out of it. They met up with the government and told them that they didnt want anybody on their land and they wanted to be respected as the lubicon people. Nobody addressed them as there real name, and they wanted to start being called after there people.

National Sorry Days
The first national sorry day was held on May 26 1998. The cause for this day was because the government was attempting to take the Aboriginal and Torres Strait children away from their families. This day is celebrated every year on May 26 to remember the removals and the effects it has made. This day is also celebrated to recognize the mistakes that the people made to the indigenous people and so that they recovering process could begin. In 2005 it was renamed to the " National Healing Day". Then in the same year the National Sorry Day Committee named it back to the natural name, " National Sorry Day". On February 13 Kevin Rudd the Prime Minister made an apology speech. He made it very clear in how sorry he was and that they did not mean to cause this much damage. London was the first place to celebrate it outside of Australia. They are truly aware of the issues going on and they celebrated by preparing speeches and performances.

To what extent might aptn affect the identities of aboriginal people in canada?
I think that it will affect the identities of the Aboriginal peoples because that is what they always talk about. Some families don't want there children to know any other language till there older and the children shows are only speaking there culture.
Food Alerts
The food products that have had warnings on them are Kaiser Pretzels and Koala's March Cookies. They may have melamine in them. Some Coffee Brands are being alert for Melamine.
Vote
I chose the Conservative Party because they were voted last year and I thought that they did a pretty good job. I don't think that we need a change, I think that what they did last year was just fine.
Space Offer
I would probably accept the offer. I think that it would be a great opportunity to be able to travel in space. I think that it would be a very good experience for me. I think that it would be fun and also a great learning opportunity. Seeing as how I dont know a lot about space I think that htis would be a very helpful opportunity and it would be a dumb idea to turn it down.
