This is part-two of my search for information about aboriginal communities - this also in BC, and comparatively more weathy than many communities across Canada. Seabird Island has its own school http://www.seabirdschool.ca/ and the Seabird band has done something amazing. They created their own wireless community - bought all the equipment from Siemens and are even offering to sell services to other nearby First Nations without internet. Apparently nobody would send cable out to them and they didn’t have high speed access. So they launched the project themselves which included e-resources and an excellent platform on which to build programming and services, and possibly partnerships. Here is a link:
Also found this: Aboriginal Portal with stats on other communities, too.

This is charming Amy. Theyr'e all so alive, like they have stories to tell.
And I like the blocks. :~)
Paula,
Thanks so much. I enjoyed creating this so much. The moouse/rat on the bottom was Hunca Munca from Beatrix Potter's book The Tale of Two Bad Mice. I got her when I had the mumps. Raggedy of course was my favorite...I was VERY attatched to her..even brought her with me when I went off to college.
Amy, this is pure magic. The softness and the way in which the subjects compliment each other is perfect.
