Thank you Spirit Walker for enlightening people like me about the wonderful legacy our native people have created for our multicultural Canada. I am sad that some blogs and individuals view your contributions in a negative manner and do all they can to discredit you and your dedicated work. Some even beyond that in a disgusting manner. Your readers are many and your rating is high. Ignore those whose remarks are formed in envy because they only follow the lower route that is obvious in their blogs and threats. You are doing a good job and your readers appreciate your continuing high standard of presentation.
