Last few days at the UN and final thoughts coming up soon. I clearly cannot post things timely. This blogging is a hard thing to do.

W5 Complete: "Back to Regularly Scheduled...
The Dinner Bell is ringing Sitting here at one if my favorite Starbucks in New York in Greenwich Village (just blocks away from the façade they used as the Friends apartment I might add), I can’t help but realize that I haven’t wrote on this for a while. Sorry to disappoint all my readers (all 3 of you…. thanks Bryan for reading this on your train ride to work in Zurich), but...

#UNPFII - Food Sovereignty
I did not make that connection right away. Indigenous rights and its linkage to food sovereignty or the rights of individuals to define their own food, agriculture, livestock, fisheries system, and so on. As the second week of the Eleventh Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum for Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) gets going, half a day is spent on the rights of indigenous people to food and food...

#JustiNYC - First meetup.com event: The Creek
A walk through Newtown Creek in Long Island City After my first meetup.com event I jumped quickly on the Internet to see what other cool things I could do in the city. Because I haven’t found out how to integrate photos into my blogs via iPad yet, I attached a link below to my album below. So if you are the more of the visual learning type, jump down to the bottom of the page. For those who have...

#UNPFII - Leaving a Legacy
Today is day four of the Eleventh Session on the United Nations Permanent Forum for Indigenous Issues. It was another interesting day with more groups reflecting on the ‘Doctrine of Discovery’ and its effects on their people. This morning we had a presentation from WIPO or World Intellectual Property Organization. I knew something was going to happen when I noticed a number of shirts...

#UNPFII - Cultural Celebration
Part of my retro-posting (this will be the first of many)… On Tuesday night all the delegates were invited to the opening of the Indigenous Exhibit: “Indigenous Peoples and Food Sovereignty” and cultural event. It was a great time filled with celebration and of course the sharing of food. I’ll let the photos speak to it and I have a link to a few performances. Sorry, I do...

#UNPFII - Day 3: Canada Speaks
The past few days have been filled with a number of organizations from around the world reflecting on the impact of the “Doctrine of Discovery.” Yes, I have heard of the concept, but like any normal student these days, I had to ‘google’ and ‘wiki’ it. Here’s what I got:           (source: http://www.doctrineofdiscovery.org/) Here’s some of the...

#justiNYC - The Fantasticks
This is a retro post, as I went to see this production weeks ago. The Fantasticks - Jerry Orbach Theater My first theatre production in New York featured Aaron Carter. That’s really random. Being in the mood to just do stuff in New York, does not really bode well for my wallet, since of course I am always in the mood to spend money, but I digress. After advice from the TKTS worker to make it...
