The federal government is promising -again- to fix things in Pikangikum.
It gets a little harder, each time, to read about Pik in an article and feel a little of the despair, even at distance.

Lisa Randall and E.O. Wilson on "Charlie Rose".
Lisa Randall is a physicist, who tries to explain to Chuck, what is hoped to be found/confirmed with high-energy experiments when new "colliders" come on line, shortly. E.O. Wilson is a biologist, whose latest book is an appeal to anti-science dogmatics to help change the negative ways we are affecting the planet.

Did ya ever see Smoke Signals? The Chris Eyre film based on a Sherman Alexie short story?
I just watched The Business of Fancydancing -written and directed by Alexie, himself- and it stars Evan Adams, who played Thomas-Builds-The-Fire in Smoke Signals. Very good Indie movie; Evan Adams is surprising in his role, at least to me, because I always see the awkward hero -ThomasB-T-F- when I think of him. Even more surprising... Evan will be, or has by now, graduated medical school.
Here's an interview with Sherman Alexie about making movies, his own way.
