This is the story of a man who navigated the complexities of a divided nation, fought for the rights of his people, and left an indelible mark on the course of history.

Our Home 'ON' Native Land
In the 70 plus years that I have lived on this planet, I have travelled many roads, highways, water routes and airways. Often, as I journey along these pathways, I wonder why they exist in the exact locations they do, or why they exist at all for that matter. If you have ever driven along the Trans-Canada Highway between Vancouver and Winnipeg for example, you may have pondered the same question. The highway does not exactly follow a straight line. Surely if highway designers and builders wanted to construct a roadway between two points, they should survey and follow a fairly straight path. Every good geometry student will tell you that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. So, why not use that concept to lay down pavement in a manner that would prove to be the most financially viable effort, thus saving governments and tax-payers a big pile of money? The answer to this question comes from the closer examination of a tremendous time-line of natural history.

Dear Eleanor, Shall I Decay?
Decay is a natural thing, you liked to say. And yet it feels far from it. One moment, this body feels like home and the next, it's as alien as the inside of a black hole. Perhaps if we had the chance to peer over the black hole's edge, we would find the glory and wonder of a mysterious new dimension, a cascading turbulence of color and resolve. I wonder if peeling back the layers of our own dying bodies would reveal a similar sight.
