3. Skwachays Lodge, Vancouver's boutique Aboriginal art hotel. This is a social enterprise by a non-profit that combines an Aboriginal art gallery, with a boutique hotel in order to offset costs for affordable housing units for resident Aboriginal artists. The hotel rooms are decorated by different artists, and the location was an aging Victorian building which was renovated and added to. Here are a couple of the many articles about it:
Room to Paint. Vancouver Tackles Housing Challenges While Promoting Aboriginal Art, Financial Post 2016
Rub Shoulders With Aboriginal Artists At This Unique Hotel. Globe and Mail article 2015
4. Halifax to re-open debate over sites named for man who issued Mi'kmaq scalp bounty. CTV News article. And wiki links about Halifax's history Cornwallis violated a treaty to settle Halifax, which lead to more war between the British and Mi'kmaq until it ended by both sides literally burying a hatchet on Spring Garden Road. One of the other links I read mentioned this song "Halifax" as mentioning Cornwallis, by the Hampton Grease Band.
