To start the title Hontiy means happy, in Wet'suwet'en. I like to use my language wherever possible and I'm excited to have another avenue to utilize it.
As my first entry to my first blog I would like to make this proclamation that there are alot of whiners and negative comments around us everyday and I really appreciate the idea of focusing on what makes me happy. I can get stuck under a rain cloud, but there's nothing to say that I cannot play in the rain. In fact, I just bought a pair of rain boots this past summer. Now, prepared for the rain, I can play and be happy in any weather.

If this blog is to express your unique and creative self, your heritage is very much a part of it - please use your language wherever you like and as much as you can! The happiness research that I shared with your class, from the field of positive psychology, is meant to find and provide human beings with tools that contribute to resilience and greater well-being, like rain boots for our thoughts and feelings! Great analogy - and art is play! I look forward to seeing more of your posts.
