All of us at 10,000 Things think your blog is THE BEST local blog. We will be voting for you! [ED: Aw, shucks! - The rest of you can nominate me here by the way.]

On another note, would you mind advertising this event? The Actualize Ainu Self-determination Workshop will be held at Kaze no Ne on Sunday November 22nd. I have been working with the Ainu-Okinawa wo kangaeru Kai for this event. We are inviting Kawamura Kenichi, a very influential Ainu rights advocate and political leader in the Ainu community from Asahikawa. We also will have a musical performance from Kano Rumiko of Oki Dub Band. It should be awesome. Plus, we are going to have simultaneous English translation. I will be helping a wee bit with that end. I have posted all of the information at Ten Thousand Things.

Since your blog has such wide readership, it would be a great help if you could advertise this for me!
