BarbChamberlain<p>Every so often I'm asked about how I became a bike advocate. Since it arose from lessons learned from my mom, I'm sharing this blog post on Mother's Day.

Her unwavering dedication has earned her different awards, recognizing her service to her community and her passion for preserving language and culture. In September, Lynn was honored with the prestigious 2024 National Indian Education Association Community Service of the Year Award. This award recognizes Native community members who are role models and have served their community. </p><p>"Lynn’s journey to become a teacher and active community member is a testament to her passion and dedication. It all began when she became a mother and started participating in school and community activities. Lynn’s involvement in organizations like the Girl Scouts and PTP (Parent Teacher Partnership) marked the beginning of her service to the community before she started her decolonization work and focus on culture and language. </p><p>"Her <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/decolonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>decolonization</span></a> journey deepened after she attended the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UpstanderAcademy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UpstanderAcademy</span></a>, where she met a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Micmac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Micmac</span></a> woman and spiritual healer from Canada. Their time and conversations inspired her to learn more and share what she knew, leading her to become the community leader she is today. </p><p>"After attending the Upstander Academy, Lynn's commitment to promoting cultural engagement intensified. She traveled to different tribal gatherings and immersed herself in culture as much as possible. She aimed to share her experiences and knowledge and motivate others in her community to participate in and learn cultural activities. </p><p>"Lynn plays a pivotal role in nurturing a sense of community and togetherness. She does this in various ways, including by planning community gatherings. Lynn planned a large cultural gathering that the Passamaquoddy hosted, but after much planning and organizing, she became ill and could not attend. She said that her falling ill was a 'blessing in disguise' because it resulted in something beautiful…. community members who usually do not participate in community activities took the lead and ensured the gathering went as planned. These individuals continue to be active community members, a testament to Lynn's success in promoting cultural engagement. </p><p>"One of Lynn's most significant contributions is mentoring youth, a responsibility she takes very seriously. In community service projects with youth, she saw how they responded positively, which deepened her desire to do more. These projects demonstrate her commitment to the future of her community. </p><p>"Currently, Lynn is mentoring a group of girls through their rights-of-passage ceremony. One activity the girls completed was learning how to honor berries. The girls picked berries and then gave some to the elders when they visited. The girls spend much time with the elders, learning from and talking with them. Lynn's commitment to passing this knowledge on to the next generation provides hope for the community’s ability to preserve tribal culture. </p><p>This is Lynn's 38th year working for Maine Indian Education. Since being hired, she obtained a bachelor’s degree in College Studies, focusing on Native Studies from the University of Maine at Machias. She enjoyed her courses, and what she learned provided her with the knowledge and skills needed to create the curriculum and served as a basis for the content she uses in her classes. </p><p>"Lynn began teaching the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PassamaquoddyLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PassamaquoddyLanguage</span></a> at Calais High School before she graduated. Her classes are extremely popular and usually have a waitlist. Lynn was surprised when her classes began to have a waitlist, but anyone who knows Lynn was not surprised. Her positive energy and love radiate from her and draw people to her. Her dedication to her students and community makes Lynn a perfect recipient of the NIEA Community Service of the Year Award. </p><p>"The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NIEAConvention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NIEAConvention</span></a> was established to mark the beginning of a national forum for sharing and developing ideas and influencing federal policy. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NIEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NIEA</span></a> was founded in 1969 and incorporated in 1970 to meet the needs of educators, students, and the community. NIEA held its first 'First Convocation of American Indian Scholars' at Princeton University in 1969. During this meeting, several Native educators discussed concerns and issues related to the education of Native children. For many educators, this large meeting was the first opportunity to share, discuss, and learn about ideas critical to Native Americans in the United States. </p><p>"Several Natives who attended that gathering wanted an opportunity to continue the dialogue and share ways to improve education. They desired to explore ways to become more effective teachers and better school administrators and discover practical experiences that could improve schools serving Native students. </p><p>"Since its incorporation, NIEA has become a massive organization committed to addressing various issues that Native Americans face. These issues include Boarding School Healing, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NativeLanguage</span></a> Initiatives, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturallyBasedCurricula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CulturallyBasedCurricula</span></a>. NIEA’s mission is to advance comprehensive, culturally based educational opportunities for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NativeAmericans</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlaskaNatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlaskaNatives</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeHawaiians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NativeHawaiians</span></a>. The organization advocates for policies and creates programs that support self-determination and the development of comprehensive, culturally grounded learning opportunities for Native students. </p><p>"National recognition through the NIEA Community Service Award underscores Lynn’s exceptional contributions to Native education and her dedication to serving the community.

dick_turpin<p>The UK population in mid-year 2022 was estimated to be 67.6 million, with approximately 54.38 million people eligible to vote. As of mid-2022, there are approximately 21 million people aged 50 and over in the UK, which leaves 33.38M.</p><p>In the last General Election, held on December 12, 2019, the Labour Party received 10,269,051 votes. Even if we say that figure could be doubled for the coming GE, 20,538,102, that still leaves over 12M votes for the 50+ age group. Of course, not everyone votes, and yes, there are all the other parties plus idiots who'll "Spoil their papers" or just not vote, but 12M is a lot of influence.</p><p>This election is going to be interesting. The Tories are predominantly targeting the 50+ age range, while Labour seems to be appealing to the young first-time voters.</p><p>Bringing back National Service is going to be very popular with the 50+ voter especially the Community Work element for those who refuse. This is already happening for people looking to stay in the UK, with work visa applicants who are looking to extend their 12-month work visa being made to do X amount of hours 'Carer' work as a pre-requisite to extension or find an employer willing to sponsor them.</p><p>Oh, and as a side benefit, it'll slash unemployment. That's nice. 🙂</p><p><a href="https://news.sky.com/story/sunak-says-he-will-bring-back-national-service-if-tories-win-general-election-13143184" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">news.sky.com/story/sunak-says-…</a><br><a href="https://castlecannon.house/search?tag=politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://castlecannon.house/search?tag=NationalService" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NationalService</span></a> <a href="https://castlecannon.house/search?tag=CommunityService" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityService</span></a></p>
