<i>My name is Clare and I’ve recently completed an art project for one of my classes. The art pieces are all food related – a cornucopia, a fish, a carrot, a fork and knife - and my hope is that they will challenge the viewer to think about food security issues, both locally and globally. In addition, it encourages folks to get out and enjoy the beautiful trails of Wolfville. You can check out the (12) art pieces by simply taking a walk through the Acadia Woodland Trails, Reservoir Park Trails, and Millennium Trails. </i><i>They will be left up until the end of exams. </i></div>

Acadia students and graduates are taking the lead in a new
and innovative community partnership in Lunenburg County to provide
environmental education and facilitate community development. A collaborative
effort of the Blue Nose Coastal Action Foundation, Michelin Tire, the Halifax
Regional Adventure Earth Centre and Acadia University have helped bring outdoor
environmental education to life in Lunenburg County. Programs are being run at
the Morton Centre, a beautiful Acadia field station on Heckman’s Island near
Lunenburg.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The spring started with <i>Cycle
Savers</i>, a fun-filled environmental education program for local grade 4
classes. Coordinated by Megan Beliveau (BRM ESST 2014) and Jen McKinnon, Cycle
Savers is a day of outdoor environmental activities led by high school student
volunteers who receive intensive leadership training. The 4<sup>th</sup> grade classes
learn about the air, soil and water cycles at the Morton Centre and then apply
that learning back at school and home in working to implement lifestyle changes
to reduce their impact on these cycles. The summer months have included week-long
earth adventure day camps, off-site earth education visits and a high school
student environmental program. These are the exciting first steps in fostering the
vision for a dynamic, community oriented and environmentally thoughtful
learning center. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Located on a remarkable 99 acre property, the Morton Centre,
was donated to Acadia in 1995 by Harry and Rachel Morton for environmental
research and education. Cate deVreede (BSc. Environmental Science 2005, MRM
2011) is taking the on-going lead in Lunenburg County to develop these programs
through the Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation. They see the program expanding
over summers, providing learning and employment for Acadia students while
offering new innovative programs in the community. Acadia Faculty including Dr.
Ian Spooner (Environmental Science) and Drs. Alan Warner and John Colton
(Community Development & ESST) are supporting the efforts.<o:p></o:p></div>

On Tuesday, May 14, a small group of ESST students and
faculty took to the campus with one goal in mind: planting apple trees to honor
recipients of the ESST-Y Award! It only took a few hours to complete the task.
Some were pros. Some weren’t so much. Regardless, fun was had, and lots of
laughter took place. It made for an excellent (rainy) afternoon that
exemplified what this program is really all about – coming together to work
towards a common goal. And with many future awards to come, Acadia’s campus is
sure to provide a delicious snack once these beauties start growing! Check out
some of the pictures below:<o:p></o:p></div>

A multi-course meal was served including soup, salad, and a bun were the appetizers, vegetable pasta and corn-on-the-cob were the main course, and there was apple crisp, pie and cookies for dessert. Heather Kelday performed throughout the event (a big thanks again goes out to Heather for helping!). There were games for the kids, crafts such as corn husk dolls and gourd painting, in addition to a booth where participants were able to plant a small herb garden. There were also two booths set up around preserving foods and the Acadia farm. Two draws were taken, for a commissioned painting by Rachel Morrison and a nice basket of fruit, winery tour tickets, and chocolate. The event could not have happened if it weren't for the many volunteers that came out and helped - Thanks again!! - and the donations from local businesses.

Near the beginning of the year, all first year Environmental and Sustainability Students went on a 3 day trip to Camp Mockingee. The purpose of this trip was to get to know everybody and create a better sense of community in our tight-nit program. Through team-building activities, and quiet reflection in the heart of nature, and story-telling by the campfire, we became a family.</div>

Throughout the trip, we had the privilege to hear about the professors' backgrounds, and concluded by being joined by the upper year students of the program. It was a great way to start the year, meeting such wonderful people, building a network, becoming a family, eating great homemade food, and taking part in some awesome activities related to the environment!</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Focusing on the flawed perception of bottled vs. tap water, an awareness event was chosen in order to demonstrate both the benefits and quality of tap water. Our main goal was to advocate
the harm done by plastic water bottles on the environment, targeting the student
population primarily. Furthermore, we hoped to encourage the use of tap water on campus, as it is both clean and free! We had the participants sample both tap and bottled water, having them decide which they preferred and also to attempt at differentiating the two. Additionally, we had
the students answer various questions around water use, scarcity, and water
bottle facts, rewarding those who answered correctly with a reusable water
bottle provided by Chartwells. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We have chosen a clothing swop for our event since Jodie has
shared knowledge that a clothing swop was done successfully once before on a
small scale, so a larger campus scale ought to bring success. It was also a
concern to janitors of Acadia when international students would move and leave
a large amount of waste behind that would be discarded of.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 12.75pt; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Eliminate the
amount of waste left from students moving off campus especially clothing.<br />2. Help Acadia students understand the importance of proper waste management
through information provided on our Facebook page and other marketing areas.<br />3. To help students on campus/off campus to get clothing that is recycled and
to provide the opportunity for them to get rid of their non-used
clothing/items.<br />4. If clothing is left over they have a sense that it is going back to the
community to a local organization such as Red Cross. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our group put on an indoor bonfire at the Irving Center to
explain and teach other students, community members and faculty about
biodiversity and how it affects the world around us. We included snacks, and
designed creative stories and played various games around the idea of
biodiversity and its importance. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 12.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="color: #333333; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This event focused on energy consumption and way to conserve energy in residence, specifically focussing on Tower. A tour of one of the floors revealed that the building’s heating system, light fixtures and faucets/showers have not been updated. A kind of show and tell, we took people on a tour, showing them all the things they could do individually to help conserve energy: turning off lights when not in the room, keeping windows closed and locked in the winter, and taking shorter showers, to name a few.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Providing figures of amounts of oil, steam, water, etc. to run the building gave tour members a perspective of how much energy we use. The tour concluded with a trivia session with energy-saving prizes provided to us by our partner organization, Efficiency Nova Scotia.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Goals:<br />1. To bring awareness to students about energy usage.<br />2. To show students realistic ways to drastically reduce their energy consumption.<br />3. To show some negative sides to high energy consumption.<br />4. Shed light on energy inefficiency in general.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The food group for sustainability week chose to do a Food
Scavenger Hunt that took place at various points around Wolfville. The goal of
the event was raise awareness on local, sustainable food, advocating both the
to student and community population. Participants were given a reusable bag
(provided by Pete’s), and uncovered clues in order to make their way from
station to station. At the various stations, there were activities, challenges,
and games designed challenging the participants to earn the free food offered.
The produce and items obtained for the Scavenger Hunt were donations from the
local businesses across Wolfville including Pete’s, TAN, Acadiana Soy, Pie r
Squared, and many other generous donors. </span><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

here at the Acadia Environmental and Sustainability Studies blog our aim is to
keep you updated on any and everything our students are involved in. In this
case we want to share our first ESST Pub night of the 2012-2013 academic
year with you guys. Like many of our other events such as cider making or the fast approaching snow shoeing
event at Prof. Colton’s, we ESSTers like to organize events that’ll give us a
chance to have fun outside of the classroom setting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the year was held at Paddy’s Brew Pub on one of their coveted Monday nights.
This was a great night to get everyone down at Paddy’s because if anyone knows
Paddy’s Brew Pub you know that you’re almost always in for a good time at their
Monday night open mics. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

students together while having a lot of fun! It was a great opportunity for our
students to connect and to one another. Some of the older students got to know
some of the newer students in addition to reconnecting with others who I
haven't seen in a long time. It was simply a night full of food, drinks, music, and
fun!</span><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

students from the high school to university level. The conference is both
accepting and welcoming to people of all genders, ethnicities, and backgrounds,
looking for an optimal level of inclusiveness. Its focus lies within the title,
implying that there is a need for a shift in our power system, targeting the
population who are essentially the leaders of tomorrow. PowerShift covers a
broad array of subjects, extending from environmental issues to human rights
and inequalities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to gain knowledge on the multiple issues occurring in today’s society. I had
the privilege to attend conferences on indigenous rights, the Tar Sands,
education and poverty, oppression and racial inequalities, natural disasters
and their impacts on communities, and sustainable food and youth involvement. I
was particularly fascinated by the commitment and passion the general
population of the conference had towards the issues, and moreover, the actions
they were both willing to take, and those which have already being initiated.
This being said, I was very motivated coming back to Acadia following the
conference, with multiple ideas and inspirations to take action and make a
difference. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Keeping in line with that aim, we would like to offer you a little peek into the experiences of ESST students, <b>Emily Kennedy</b> and <b>Mandy Bunten-Walberg</b>, as they participated in the first ever Runway Run to raise funds for the Lung Association of Nova Scotia. Here's what they have to say about their involvement with such a great event: <br />

On Sunday, October 28th, I had the unique opportunity to realize one of
my dreams. As a runner, every race is special, but I've always wanted to
participate in a run that took place on a runway. I'm fairly certain
this was because I imagined an event of this type as involving the need
to dodge in coming and out going planes. And while I quickly learned
that this would not be the case, being able to be a part of this event
was something I will always remember. I have participated in several
races put on by the Lung Association of Nova Scotia, and each one has
inspired me. However, this race was different. For one, it was the first
time the Halifax Stanfield International Airport's runway had been open
to such an event, but also I shaved a significant amount of time off of
my previous personal best, while running alongside a previous recipient
of a lung transplant provided in part by the funds raised in these LANS
initiatives. Running was my first real sense of community and
acceptance, and being able to see first hand the difference something as
silly as a 5 km race on a runway can make on a person's life was
incredible. My fingers are crossed for a second round next year!<br />
<br />

I couldn't be more proud to have participated in the first ever Runway
Run to help raise money for the Nova Scotia Lung Association! When my
roommate, and fellow ESST student, Emily Kennedy, approached me about
signing up for the 2012 Runway Run, I was eager to help out a good cause
while galloping down a runway. Unfortunately, in all of my eagerness, I
had grossly overestimated my level of physical fitness! My
confidence was soon knocked down a peg or two after we tried to go for
several practice runs to get in shape before the big day. When the day
of the race arrived, I dragged myself out of bed in the early hours of
the morning (and if you know me, and know how much I love to sleep, you
would realize that this was probably far more difficult for me than the
run itself!). Emily and I drove to the Halifax Airport, and shortly
after we arrived, more and more contestants began to congregate
together. Despite the chilly winds outside, a buzz of excitement seemed
to be in the air. People were genuinely eager and proud to be a part of
such a wonderful event in support of such a worthy cause. Soon it was
time to gather at the starting line. Emily and I started the race
together, keeping a consistent pace throughout. We ran the whole
distance together, and I think that we both were very pleased to have not come in last! Not only was it a personal achievement to have participated in such an event, but it was also a source of collective hope and empowerment among the 327 contestants who ran together. <br />

His book, <i>The Right to a Healthy Environment,</i> makes
the case that the constitutional recognition of environmental rights and
responsibilities would both reflect and reinforce Canadian
values. David Boyd’s book tour across Canada is supported by the David Suzuki Foundation and Ecojustice. Interested to find out more? Check out the following video of David Boyd's presentation! </span><br />

The ESST family likes to organize events beyond the classroom in order to give everyone in the program a chance to relax, enjoy each other's company, and have fun!! Cider making was just such an event!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijLlDw56zhvq1pOV4tdAQ71lmylOBnhPyPWLRk3wEmd2oElXQJ9sXqlBPtzd_TFwd_gL1HMMREw1yrBe5MQRB82WOO4wUQ8u0My9f0GtdLtsQPdEWiLoX9x7i49NqoZ3elDgD4h0deWaw/s1600/Hand+in+apples.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijLlDw56zhvq1pOV4tdAQ71lmylOBnhPyPWLRk3wEmd2oElXQJ9sXqlBPtzd_TFwd_gL1HMMREw1yrBe5MQRB82WOO4wUQ8u0My9f0GtdLtsQPdEWiLoX9x7i49NqoZ3elDgD4h0deWaw/s400/Hand+in+apples.jpg" width="400" /></a>After gathering at Alan Warner's house, all those in attendance got a quick run-down of the steps involved in making home-made apple cider. Everyone pitched in; whether they were washing the apples, mulching them in a medieval-looking machine, turning a crank to wring out all of the juice, or funneling the final product into containers, everyone got to participate in the process! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our day at Alan's involved more than just making cider (which turned out to be quite delicious, by the way!). Many of us took the opportunity to explore Alan's beautiful property, bond with some nearby cows, pet some chickens, and get to know our peers a little bit better! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
My absolute favorite part of the day involved a nature walk. Armed with a map, 7 of us (and two very happy dogs!) set out on the tree-lined trails near Alan's house. The sun was shining, the leaves were gently rustling, and a stream gurgled alongside our walking path. The two dog companions on our expedition kept the walk lively and exciting as they splashed in the water and proudly trotted around with sticks in their mouths! Finally, we emerged from the wooded area into a peaceful clearing alongside a small lake. The lake, which normally would have spilled out into a creek, was kept contained by a very large beaver dam. We all marveled at the engineering of such little creatures! It looked almost magical how the water remained contained and perpetually suspended from falling. Sitting quietly in the clearing, and looking on as two tail-wagging dogs dove after sticks in the water was the perfect way to spend a day!<br />

So, I'll bet you've been wondering just what our ESST community members were up to in the summer months of 2012...Well, you're about to find out! ESST students don't reserve their awesome accomplishments just for the academic year; they work hard to inspire others, promote sustainability, and initiate positive change all year round!<br />
<br />
We are very proud of <b>Jenna Koury-Hanna</b>, our ESST Society Co-President, for being the recipient of the <i>2012 Youth Environmental Leadership Award</i>! This award is one of the Nova Scotia Environmental Network's Eco-Hero Annual Awards, and was given to Jenna in recognition of her enthusiastic environmental leadership in Nova Scotia.

We are also extremely proud of ESST student, <b>Mira Dietz Chiasson</b>, who worked for the New Brunswick Environmental Network (NBEN) over the summer. This summer job allowed Mira to become involved in some pretty amazing sustainability initiatives. Read on to find out first-hand, from Mira, what her summer experience at NBEN was like!<br />
<br />

Network (NBEN)<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US">by Mira Dietz Chiasson</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The New
Brunswick Environmental Network (NBEN) is one of the strongest provincial
environmental networks in the country. It
operates at a provincial level to bring together all kinds of environmental
groups from different backgrounds, to work together on issues of common
interest. Serving first and foremost as a communication network, the NBEN and
its other provincial equivalents ensure that environmental groups can have a
strong, unified voice, and opens the possibility of dialogue between ENGOs,
community groups, businesses, industry and government. Caucuses, established
around current issues such as shale gas, mining, and crown lands, allow groups
to work together on coordinated efforts across the province, and ensures that
the members are informed regarding the latest news and campaigns.
Collaboratives, such as the Sustainable Education Alliance or the Biodiversity
collaborative serve as broader forums including a wide range of stakeholders.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I had the
opportunity to work for the NBEN this summer, in the Moncton NB office. NBEN
staff work hard to keep up to date on everything that’s happening on the
environmental scene in the province, and elsewhere in Canada. This means that
oftentimes work is interrupted by something urgent, a message that needs to get
out to the members, or something new that has to be dealt with right away.
There is rarely an idle moment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> The
other summer student and I were put in charge of things like maintaining the
NBEN’s blog, posting about relevant environmental news throughout the summer,
as well as writing up and sending out a newsletter to all members on a
bi-weekly basis. Adding to the challenge of writing a comprehensive and captivating
summary of recent, local environmental news was the fact that everything that
gets sent out to the public needs to be sent in both languages. As a result,
translating and proofreading texts, e-mails and website posts in French was a
big part of my job this summer. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Working
for the NBEN offered tremendous opportunity for improving communication skills
and learning to be consistent and concise in writing, as well as in learning to
filter out important information. In addition to writing and website work, my
to do list was also filled with things such as organizing teleconference calls-
much more challenging than you would think because you have to sort out
everybody’s schedules and to do that, you have to get a hold of them in the
first place. I also conducted a survey of the schools in the province regarding
their sustainability practices and environmental programming, which included
phoning hundreds of principals to remind them to fill out the survey. Needless
to say, my summer was busy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">All in all, this
work experience was challenging, demanding a lot of work and time, but it was
my most useful summer jobs so far. It was an opportunity for me to use my
strengths, test my weaknesses and learn how to improve and work efficiently.
Above all, I learnt the importance of following through with things even if
sometimes, doing so is difficult.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I’d recommend
this summer job to anyone who is ready to take on a challenge, to improve
networking skills, to learn about the extensive behind-the-scenes work that happens
in the environmental movement, and to work with a great supportive team of
devoted co-workers. </span></div>

My name is Mandy, and I am thrilled to be the ESST Fourth Year Rep! Why did I decide to leave my hometown of Morinville, Alberta to major in ESST and become a part of the ESST Society, you might ask? Well, I suppose it's because I believe in building healthy communities, fighting for the rights of living creatures, and protecting the earth's interconnected systems on which all beings rely. But don't be fooled...The environment is not my only interest! I also love collecting pins and masks, studying philosophy, petting my filthy little dog Cocoa (seriously, I have never met a messier animal!), eating anything that has been deep-fried, and watching old movies.</span><br />

My name is Rhema, and I am your 3rd year Environmental and Sustainability Studies representative. For those that don't know or haven't heard me brag about where I'm from, I hail from the sandy shores of The Bahamas. At this point you're probably wondering why I came all the way up to Canada for school, (trust me I do it sometimes too, especially in the winter) but I'm the type of person that loves having new experiences, meeting new people and and going to new places. I am currently currently majoring in ESST with a minor in Sociology, and I hope to one day become an environmental sociologist or an educator. I also hope to help bridge some of the gaps between our years and build a stronger ESST community. :)</span></span></span><br />

I grew up in a small town called Whichurch-Stouffville just north of Toronto, but for the last few years I have been living in Markham. My whole family is vegetarian, and cares deeply about the environment, so that's probably where my interest in this field started! My other passions include photography, geography, mapping, hiking, camping, cross-country skiing, traveling and meteorology. Being in this field of study, I really hope I can make a difference in the world, or at least in my community, educating people on the environmental issues that affect us all!</span>Rhema F.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01391422054434836499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996164285835848051.post-4303233847332018692013-01-13T17:18:00.001-04:002013-01-13T17:18:17.325-04:00Meet Your ESST Exec!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Menlo, Consolas, 'Lucida Console', 'DejaVu Sans Mono', monospace; font-size: 12px;">Howdy! My name is Emily Kennedy and I'm the VP Finance. I hail from the tropical paradise of Porters Lake, NS, and am currently in my 3rd year. I enjoy running, unofficial National Holidays and '90s cartoon theme songs. A little fun fact about me is that I am allergic to cows, soy, almonds, and well, anything that tastes good. My goals for after graduation are to see every country in Africa and to nurture my passion to really make a difference in the world through laughter and understanding.</span><br />

My primary focus is currently on permaculture and sustainable energies, with the hope of learning forest gardening and helping to revolutionize how we grow food. I hope to get to know more of the wonderful people in the ESST program and that this year continues to be a great one!</span><br />

I am a 3'rd year ESST student focusing in Community Development. I am from the Toronto Area and am loving my time at Acadia! I came to Acadia because of the small classes and the small size over the huge schools closer to home. Over the summers I enjoy getting outside, and love to go canoeing, either for a day or for a month. I also enjoy spending time curled up with a cup of coffee and a good book.</span>Rhema F.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01391422054434836499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996164285835848051.post-21065675092117765942012-04-02T13:27:00.000-03:002012-04-02T13:27:55.250-03:00Vote for ESST Executive Society<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZqT_bCLPPKI45Rr8ARZkwp-_JnWbrbNkD8nhdYAwS7UGHXwsvu3vhwAsTZdju8S6wbq1JUpBE7Tf7izzfJ3ZqEa9WxUHtPyo3TDJVKw0faG-lEoyIsaqKiP2b9gDIwja7vQE4NYirK8EK/s1600/vote+for+esst.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZqT_bCLPPKI45Rr8ARZkwp-_JnWbrbNkD8nhdYAwS7UGHXwsvu3vhwAsTZdju8S6wbq1JUpBE7Tf7izzfJ3ZqEa9WxUHtPyo3TDJVKw0faG-lEoyIsaqKiP2b9gDIwja7vQE4NYirK8EK/s640/vote+for+esst.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Click here to vote for next years (2012/2013) ESST Society: <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CR5HXVN">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CR5HXVN</a><br />

Being a part of the EEST Society has been a great way to get to know much of the ESST family. It has also allowed me to become more involved in the activities and events that the Society has put on. I have enjoyed both of these aspects, and would love to become more involved by becoming the First Year ESST Rep. <br />

<br />
Hope things are starting to hum around ESST and Acadia. There is tons of stuff happening here. Here is one of my adventures and things I am thinking about…<br />
<br />
On my way home from a magical trip to the Hamilton Gardens, I was drawn to a large number of big white tents and a sign for a Maori cultural and arts festival across from the Gardens parking lot. There were displays, workshops, war canoe rides, carving etc. So I was bumbling about taking the displays in when a woman asked if I wanted to go to the Haka. Haka is the name for a Maori dance, which comes in a wide variation of forms. Not knowing much, but up for anything, I said yes and headed outside to wait with a Maori guide in a grassy area, and we started to chat. He explained very little and then asked/told me that I would sort of be “the white chief” for the Haka, which meant I was the spokesperson for the audience. It seems that one must first be challenged outside by the warrior dancers, and if one accepts the challenge properly and appropriately, everyone is then invited inside for the full performance. <br />
<br />
So I sat waiting out front of everyone. From the tent, three Maori warriors with full face paint and war clubs ceremoniously advanced on me, stopping just a couple of feet in front of me with war clubs flying by my face in a martial arts sort of way. My Maori guide explained what to do and politely suggested that I not move forward before he instructed me to (unfortunately he was whispering in my bad ear, but don’t worry, there was little chance of me challenging the war clubs which were zinging by my face). Eventually, the last warrior laid a rose on the ground between us, stepped back, and then I was told to fetch it and return to my spot. Presto, the intensely hostile and intimidating faces turned welcoming and we all followed the warriors inside to a tent theatre and were treated to a wonderful performance of various forms of dances. By the end I was dragged up on stage to practice the specific Haka that the New Zealand Rugby team (the All Blacks) performs in front of their opponents before every match. It was pretty funny. The performance troop had been together for many years (about 25 of them) and made the finals of the Maori national competition, which is a huge yearly event with regional qualifying, etc. They were good. These pictures are not of the performers but are from the web (it was not an appropriate time or place for pictures). These web pictures look very similar and at least give you the feel.<br />

Though Maori are economically and socially disadvantaged relative to “pakehas”, it is nowhere near as bad as Canada. Maori culture is seen as a proud foundation for mainstream New Zealand culture. Can you imagine Team Canada proudly performing an aboriginal war dance just after O Canada at every Olympic hockey game? But that’s what the New Zealand rugby team does as well as every other New Zealand national team. The Rugby All Blacks are even more famous here than Team Canada would be in Canada (rugby rules!).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf0G5FOZ9U9QfWfjmSlD_C0Zx4og19oqA1E6r75CUrghZ7-05_B4dV6eJf5Ml5GGUUYqTLVt5Di0kK4ZN7n160oP0RGQCBSLlQtDH0Fpj55zpNt3LYxRJoxG50rptCfLG3V8nbj1LOFIgH/s1600/haka+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf0G5FOZ9U9QfWfjmSlD_C0Zx4og19oqA1E6r75CUrghZ7-05_B4dV6eJf5Ml5GGUUYqTLVt5Di0kK4ZN7n160oP0RGQCBSLlQtDH0Fpj55zpNt3LYxRJoxG50rptCfLG3V8nbj1LOFIgH/s400/haka+2.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> The fact that that the Maori word “pakeha” exists and is used by pakeha suggests the fundamental difference. Pakeha means “people who came from across the sea (i.e., British/European).” It is a constant implicit reminder that white New Zealanders were not the first peoples of this land, which everyone recognizes. In Canada, First Nations people often remind others that they are the first peoples, but there is no word that non-aboriginal Canadians use to describe themselves as not of this land. Can you imagine non-aboriginal Canadians describing themselves as “Second Canadians”? This is an important distinction. This sense of Maori presence is always about as most place names are Maori except those of the major cities (everyone groans when I butcher another Maori name despite my best efforts). All the formal events we have been to are opened by a Maori welcome. Also most institutions, even if they are pakeha, have a “Kumatua”. This is a Maori elder or advisor, sort of in the role of a chaplain. <br />
<br />
I am starting to explore how and why there is such a different ethic here. So far I have uncovered a bunch of things. The Maori never really lost on the battle field where they fought aggressively against the British. There were heavy casualties on both sides. They were instead marginalized from the huge numbers of British landing and through the devastation of population loss due to no immunity to European germs. They also all spoke the same language, united in the face of the British invasion, and were more settled on land. They “missed out” on residential schools and an “Indian Act” though there was a lot of racism and discrimination. A strong aggressive posture won them more respect from the British even if there are lots of challenges and social issues before them today. Something to think about.<br />

</a></div>Welcome to (or back to) Acadia, or Ki Ora in the first language of New Zealand/Aotearoa, my country for this year of sabbatical. I hope you all had a wonderful summer and I am sorry I was not there to greet folks (though not too sorry given my current abode). I thought I would share a bit of my summer, which was quite an adventure… sea to sea on a bike, more than 7600 kms wandering across Canada. It took 3 months. If you are interested in the stories of the trip, there are many at <a href="http://warpotayadventures.blogspot.com/">warpotayadventures.blogspot.com</a>. Before and during the trip, many folks asked the questions “why would you do it?... what will you learn?... is it worth it? Here are my answers now that it’s all over…<br />
<br />
“Yes, it was worth it, it was one of the most significant travel experiences of my life, rivaled only by a year in India years ago. Yet when I look at the photos or watch the short videos, I find the pictures and words don’t do it justice, because at the heart of it all was the mammoth amount of rich and multifaceted experience— highs, lows, wind, rain, snow, people, communities and culture. It was not a simulated experience but a very real one with a large dose of adversity mixed with enthusiasm and exhilaration. Why could we not drive about, car camp, hitchhike, take the train, or whatever for a few months and achieve the same thing? I have done these things and somehow this was different. We were at the whim of the elements and yet also able to influence our paths and make choices in the present, and only the present was important. There was this long term goal, and day by day we inched forward, though we were never sure moment to moment of exactly how much or when. There was a rhythm and physical energy that went with being on a bike for most of every day that was unique and powerful. Bikes seem to have an attraction and magic, somewhat like trains. They provide riders a special interaction with the places and people along the way.<br />

</div>One of the most powerful aspects of it all was getting to know Canada far better from coast to coast, gaining a much deeper understanding of how diverse it is. Canadians in different regions live in very different worlds in many ways. It is amazing that we can even talk to each other at times. In part because we were on bikes doing this crazy adventure, and in part because we kept to the small towns and small roads, many many people invited us into their lives and shared so much spontaneously. When I walk into a community grocery store as a traveler passing through, rarely have I attracted lengthy conversations. Walk into a grocery store with bike helmets and safety vests and it takes a long time to get out even if I never initiate a conversation. People are curious and they approached us and soon we are off learning about their worlds and vice versa. Many times we were stuck waiting for others of us in communities because they were stopped and engaged in lengthy chats while doing errands. It seemed rude to explicitly shorten these chats, but sometimes it was the only path to riding anywhere in a day. <br />
<br />
Every time we were stuck and faced with confusion or adversity someone would come up and help us out. At first I thought we were just extraordinarily lucky, but over time I came to realize that this was one of the few common links between every place. Whatever happened, someone was there when we needed help and never did we need to explicitly ask. The final straw was at a Trois Riviere campground when there was a huge standoff over the campground rules and fees. I remember thinking… ok, we have finally met our match and no one will help us out of this mess… yet within a minute of the thought, a campground staff person was taking us home to his house for the night. From then on I knew that wherever or whenever, if we needed help, someone would be there. To me this is the one thing that all Canadian communities seem to share, be it BC ski resorts, dusty prairie towns, Northern Ontario mining centres, small Quebec farming communities or Acadian coastal villages. Frequently I seemed to have little in common with the people we encountered in terms of my lifestyle or values, yet there was a human connection that was powerful and it traced back to the experience of traveling as a group on a bike. <br />
<br />
Finally, many folks said that we were unique, and I agree, to be doing this as adult family members. What added to the magic of the experience was that we were not only a family, but a team working with amazing collaboration (yes there were a few moments of conflict) toward one shared set of goals. Frequently members of a family do something together but rarely do so many do so much over such a long period of time with such a sense of equality and shared decision-making. The family and team experience has been unforgettable and we have a set of bonds, experiences and memories that we will share as a group for the rest of our lives. Thank you Leah, Evan, Shane and Ginny.”<br />

I have also started a blog of our New Zealand/Aotearoa experiences and I just posted the first entry at <a href="http://warponz.blogspot.com/">warponz.blogspot.com</a>. We have already learned a lot, some of which will creep into future courses… such as “Do you feel it is appropriate given the ecological circumstances to poison rats, stouts and opossums with cyanide pellets on a massive scale?” The first entry explains the circumstances very briefly.<br />

At the supper the ESST Community Leadership Recognition was awarded to Mira Chiasson! This award goes to an ESST student who has demonstrated excellence in learning, and exceptional leadership in contributing to a sustainable community and planet during the past year through community initiatives within Acadia and beyond.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/216144_10150166444068177_530143176_6851929_1443360_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/216144_10150166444068177_530143176_6851929_1443360_n.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br />
This year, <a href="http://gsilentvoices.wordpress.com/">Mira</a> has been an unsung leader as she led by example. Mira is, “a hard working and dedicated student who takes a huge interest in ESST and is passionate about everything we have done this year.” Along with this, Mira is an amazing listener, a skill that often goes unappreciated but is highly valuable. <br />
<br />
Mira will be a co-events coordinator next year for the <a href="http://esstacadia.blogspot.com/p/esst-executive-positions.html">ESST Student Society</a> and with her creative mind will help to continue building the momentum of our program!<br />
<br />
Congratulations Mira! This recognition is well deserved!<br />

It depicts the importance of dirt, as well as what role it plays in our everyday life. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.dirtthemovie.org/pages/about-the-film">here</a>. <br />
<br />
Taryn, an ESST student wanted to share her experience about the documentary:<br />
<br />
So the other day, My ESST buddies and I watched a documentary about Dirt! It was a great little film and made the night so much better! Most of us didn't know what to think about it when we talked about the week before in our meeting, but decided to watch it anyways. We all sat around and watched the story about dirt, what we are doing to it, and how we can care for it to make sure that it can live. The documentary had us all laughing and tearing up at times. It was a lot fun! hopefully we will be able to watch something else before exams! but who knows with everything else that we are doing in the next few weeks! Keep coming back to hear more stories of what the ESST group is getting up to!<br />
