Were I still young, innocent or academic enough to believe in things like

"paradigms," I'd say mine shifted this past weekend. For thirty rainy

hours outside unceded Kamloops in unceded British Columbia's unceded

interior, the fight for Native sovereignty leapt out from the realm of

white guilt, rhetorical device or empty analogy, and became a movement

protest the expansion of the mini-Whistler and its centerpieces - the

Canadians like their high ranking on the United Nations' human development index, but might be less proud of the country's placement on another UN list -- the human poverty index for rich countries. We're fourth on the first index (out of 177 countries), but a dismal 12th (out of 17) on the second.
