   Today (June 21) is National Indigenous Peoples Day   
   here in Canada.   
      
   It is still not long after summers solstice (the peak   
   of the solar year) here, and full moon (the peak   
   of the lunar cycle) is tonight here, and it is also   
   about the peak of the 11 year sunspot cycle.   
      
   I’m making yet another Sisyphean moon rock rolling   
   attempt, which I am reporting on on the thread   
   “crest of a moon/crest of the sun” on alt.religion.druid .   
      
   This moon reminds me of another full moon, that   
   of the 1990 Celtica Festival in Vancouver, when   
   i had some barbecued salmon prepared by BC   
   native people. I also in the summers of 1994   
   and 1995 played for the W.I.S.E. Club in   
   slow pitch softball against the Hooligans   
   (a play on oolichan, small fish like our Newfoundland   
   capelin), who I think included some native people.
