Kwagiulth Museum and Cultural Centre (Quadra Island; tel. ): To the Native Indians along the Northwest coast, the potlatch was one of the most important ceremonies, involving the reenactment of clan myths and ritual gift giving. When Canadian officials banned the potlatch in the 1920s, the centuries-old costumes, masks, and artifacts of the Kwagiulth tribe were confiscated and sent to museums in eastern Canada and England. When the items were repatriated in the early 1990s, the tribe built a handsome museum to showcase this incredible collection of Native art.

> Text Only Version SFU Home A-Z Directory Events ... Administration Cultural Diversity and British Columbia's Future in the International Economy document.write(''); Dr. Michael Stevenson President and Vice-Chancellor Simon Fraser University Speech to the Vancouver Board of Trade Vancouver, BC February 18, 2005 There is now widespread agreement in Canada and BC that our cultural diversity is a good thing. The majority of Canadians think positively about cultural diversity: whether out of affection for a varied diet; recognition of the varied background of our international superstars; or as a result of more deeply thought commitments to the philosophical values and social arrangements that sustain peace, order and good government (or at least peace and order) amidst our marked cultural divisions. Non-Canadians admire what they see as our distinctively open and tolerant society, and they think the Canadian response to diversity is “cool” (to quote the Economist) when compared to the more heated inter-ethnic and inter-racial relations experienced elsewhere. Our governments properly applaud diversity, as in BC’s recent Speech from the Throne. There we were told: “Our heritage, diversity and inclusive society is not just a source of provincial pride—it is a strategic asset that must be realized . There is no place on Earth that sets a better example of how citizens from all countries can come together and forge a new culture that is rooted in diversity, mutual trust, respect and celebration.”

(June 21, 2003 ) - British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell and the Honourable Robert Nault, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development marked National Aboriginal Day by announcing nearly $8 million for a new cultural centre that will showcase Squamish and Lil'wat First Nations culture and diversity. "The new centre will help create new jobs and economic opportunities for First Nations," said Premier Campbell. "It will also be a place where visitors from around the world can experience the strength and vibrancy of Squamish and Lil'wat culture and heritage. The centre is one way we're furthering our New Era goal to materially improve First Nations' quality of life. It's also an example of new opportunities that the 2010 Winter Olympics will create for all British Columbians, aboriginal and non-aboriginal alike." The Squamish and Lil'wat First Nations are receiving $3 million in provincial economic measures funding and $4.7 from the Government of Canada through the regional partnership fund for the development of the cultural centre. The First Nations have also signed a 30-year lease with Land and Water BC for the 1.6-hectare property where the centre will be built. In 2001 and 2002, the Government of Canada provided $392,500 for the planning stages of this project. Private-sector funding and in-kind support are also being sought. The cost of the project is estimated at $15 million.

Such a remark applies not only to self-awareness and to intellectual pursuits, but also to perceptions of real people, a vastly enhanced sensitivity to facial expression, intonations, and choice of words which sometimes yields a rapport so close it's as if two people are reading each other's minds." - Carl Sagan, in "Marijuana Reconsidered" 07:20 PDT, Mon Sep 19, 2005 4:20 am in Hawaii 4:20 pm in Paris search cannabis culture MAGAZINE About CC Current Issue ...

BECK index Greek Culture to 500 BC Crete, Mycenae and Dorians Iliad Odyssey Hesiod and Homeric Hymns ... Pythagoras and Early Philosophy This chapter has been published in the book For information on ordering click here. Pottery of Neolithic settlements in Greece has been found from as early as the 7th millennium BC. Gradually they went from herding sheep and goats to cattle and pigs and then to agriculture. Cutting tools made out of obsidian from the island of Melos were traded widely. The first metals used were copper and silver. In the early third millennium BC tin or arsenic was added to copper to make bronze, which revolutionized farming and fighting in Greece, the Cycladic islands, and on Crete. Crete, Mycenae and Dorians The civilization that developed and reached its climax about 1400 BC on the island of Crete in the Aegean Sea was named Minoan by Arthur Evans after their legendary god-king Minos. The islands of the Cyclades and the southern Greek mainland were influenced by this culture, but the largest cities were Knossos, Phaistos, Mallia, and Gournia on the central and eastern portions of Crete. Their graves were in caves, rock shelters, and large buildings. Pottery was hand-made, and seals were used from the middle of the third millennium. The fast potter's wheel quickly improved that industry, and vessels of gold and silver were used in their palaces, which were built from the beginning of the second millennium BC. The palaces indicate increased wealth and more concentrated political and religious authority. Trade went on not only with the mainland and the islands but with Syria and
