N.B. artist Cyndi Nash shared her work with Fredericton public during museum residency
CBC News ·
This painting is called 'The Warrior.' Cyndi Nash painted it one night after she suffered a painful stubbed toe. (Ann Paul/CBC)
"That's how we became kindred spirits," Paul said.
For
Paul, though, her connection to Nash, a Sixties Scoop survivor
originally from St. Mary's First Nation, also known as Sitansisk
Wolastoqiyik, deepens when looking at Nash's art.
While
visiting Nash's artist-in-residence display at the New Brunswick Museum,
Paul said the vibrant, playful colours reminded her of finding her
inner child.

Sixties scoop survivor helps New Brunswickers be creative
With
her own bright, colourful paintings on display, artist Cyndi Nash was
also helping people make their own art during her stint as
artist-in-residence at the New Brunswick Museum.
"You'll
walk up to a person that's on the journey of positivity, that journey
of finding yourself and you'll see that aura around them, you'll see
that beautiful, vibrant colour on a canvas," Paul said.

Paul said Cyndi Nash encouraged visitors when they didn't think their
art was good. 'Anything that’s coming from you and is a reflection of
you is beautiful,' Nash would say. (Ann Paul/CBC)

We conclude this series & continue the conversation by naming that adoption is genocide. This naming refers to the process of genocide that breaks kinship ties through adoption & other forms of family separation & policing 🧵#NAAM2022#AdoptionIsTraumaAND#AdopteeTwitter#FFY 1/6 pic.twitter.com/46v0mWISZ1
As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.” The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.

Why tribes do not recommend the DNA swab
Rebecca Tallbear entitled: “DNA, Blood, and Racializing the Tribe”, bearing out what I only inferred:
Detailed discussion of the Bering Strait theory and other scientific theories about the population of the modern-day Americas is beyond the scope of this essay. However, it should be noted that Indian people have expressed suspicion that DNA analysis is a tool that scientists will use to support theories about the origins of tribal people that contradict tribal oral histories and origin stories. Perhaps more important,the alternative origin stories of scientists are seen as intending to weaken tribal land and other legal claims (and even diminish a history of colonialism?) that are supported in U.S. federal and tribal law. As genetic evidence has already been used to resolve land conflicts in Asian and Eastern European countries, this is not an unfounded fear.
