h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I enjoyed reading this.

I found it a strange experience to be in Canada, staying in what used to be the homeland of the Stoney tribe who had been relocated to a reserve an hours drive away. The museum there really showed that their culture was mostly gone, preserved in some white man museum rather than lived by its people. Even its children, proudly photographed in their headdresses, wore Western make up. I found it interesting and disturbing in equal measure.

I really enjoyed this as well. Are there going to be more in series? I really hope so, as they are fascinating.

hi Effers

many thanks for taking us behind the artificial 'shop-front' of tourism!

a difficult subject to cover, given the very personal nature of the relationship between the tribes and their 'country', but i think you've managed to capture enough for us to realise that we tread a precarious path, if and when we get an opportunity to approach

i'm with you on breaking away from the tour group and trying to establish a meeting with this ageless wisdom, as near to its own terms as our mangled Northern-hemisphere perceptions will allow

i echo Elektra's hopes for further installment(s)

Hey guys, I only just noticed this. I'm pleased.

I don't think there will be anymore installments directly about the actual Australian Aboriginal peoples...but ALS you have given me an idea about writing about my continual attempts to thwart the group leaders attempts to shoo me around..and their failure in that task

...look forward to it!
