With current attacks on #DEI in the US, & our upcoming #CanadianElection, this @RoamancingReads #podcast by Jacqueline Louie is a must listen to for all #Canadians. The story Jacqueline shares here of the exclusion of #ChineseCanadians in the shadows of #CanadianHistory is a reminder of why it's so important to #VOTE in the upcoming election, so we don't find ourselves living in a world that segregates & excludes.

It's important to encourage our kids to #LearnFromHistory. #History can also be fun and engaging to learn about, especially at #museums and #culturalhistory sites like the Canadian Museum of Flight in #LangleyBC. Here is Anne Webster's experience there with an 8yr old: https://roamancing.com/2025/01/canadian-museum-of-flight/

We explore the shadows of #CanadianHistory in Jacqueline Louie's 1st #Roamancing article and the Chinese Canadian Museum's inaugural exhibition in #Vancouver, BC. The #PaperTrail shares the stories of #ChineseCanadians from the #ChineseExclusionAct where Jacqueline discovers her own family's history.

Been enjoying learning about Heimaey, a beautiful and fascinating island off of #Iceland in this #Roamancing article of Anne Webster’s. https://roamancing.com/2023/11/icelandic-island-of-heimaey/

As I read, I discover the sport of #Sprangan, learn of the yearly rescue of the #pufflings, and discover how the people of Heimaey ingenious saved part of the town of #Vestmannaeyjabær and the harbour from the 1973 #VolcanicEruption of Eldfell.

Enjoyed editing this #Roamancing article of Pamela Pascal's on the history of Alcatraz Island. I did not know about its history in the struggle for Indigenous rights. It's an interesting read.

We followed in the footsteps of the #Beothuk & #Shanawdithit yesterday. This is a tragic story of cultural extinction in #NewfoundlandLabrador. In the midst of the sadness of loss that the #sculpture that #GeraldSquires designed in their remembrance evokes, there is also of sense of peace here in the forest by the place where there was once an active Beothuk Village filled with the voices of their people.

Fascinating day exploring The Beaches off Central Newfoundland’s Hare Bay, learning about the history of the #MaritimeArchaic, #Dorset and #Beothuck on this #archaeological site from Hare Bay Adventures’ Duane Collins. Many artifacts on this important larchaeological site on #Newfoundland are being washed away due to #ShorelineErosion and #ClimateChange.

From one army / nightmare into another. Join Mikhail's story where we last left off in Laryssa's #DiarySeries @MyUkrainianHeritage/, with his forced conscription into the worker's army and a one way ticket to Siberia to work under the Gulag.
