From various Mailing Lists

Recently I received two important messages in my Mailing Lists. The first was sent in by one of our authors, Lucie LeBlanc Consentino:

From: "Lucie LeBlanc Consentino"
To: ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb.com
Subject: two new posts

Hi Everybody, I have just posted to items you will find interesting if you had Acadian Ancestors along the St. John River from 1755-1760. Stephen A. White put together an article that is now on my web site. Another item you might find of great interest consists of extracts from the Pennsylvania Gazette that tell us what was happening on the St. John River at that time.

Both are temporarily at the top of the sidebar. Enjoy and my thanks to Stephen White.

Thank you, Lucie, for allowing me to post this message for our readers.

One of my Email correspondants sent me this URL regarding the Algonquin "Circle of Nations". There is some interesting information at this site regarding the Algonquin nation. One of my ancestors, Mite8ameg8k8e was an Algonguin.

The following quotes are from the opening pages of the website:

It was prophesized that the time would come when the voice of indigenous peoples would rise again after five hundred years of silence and oppression, to light a path to an eternal fire of peace, love, brotherhood and sisterhood amongst all nations.

The Circle of All Nations is a global eco-community unified by Elder William Commanda’s fundamental and unshakeable conviction that as children of Mother Earth, we all belong together, irrespective of our individual colour, creed or culture.

The Circle of All Nations is neither an organization nor a network – rather it is a growing circle of individuals committed to respect for Mother Earth, promotion of racial harmony, advancement of social justice, recognition and honouring of indigenous wisdom and peace building.

The core values sustaining the Circle are love, forgiveness, compassion respect and responsibility.
