During the mid- to late-1970s, some Indigenous women I knew at the time gave me the nickname “Molasses” because of my slow-motion style. They can rest assured I am still as slow as molasses in January.
These women are not alone in their opinion. Many Non-Indigenous people of my acquaintance think it is taking me far too long to finish my multi-part counterpoise.ca series on cultural misappropriation, as it relates to Indigenous people who live in Canada. In fact, I have been working on it since January 2017.
For those who have been waiting patiently (or in some cases, impatiently), you can rest assured I am working on it regularly, and it is taking shape.
