Animas Canada: Fill & Download for Free

A lot of Asians came to Mexico, in fact Mexico has received one of the highest Japanese immigrants in the world (although not nearly as much as the U.S. and Brazil), Carlos Kasuga is a Japanese born Mexican of Japanese parents (hence the hispanic name) and others had Asian ancestry like Barbara Mori whose paternal grandfather was Japanese but most importantly, Mexicans can look Asian because Native Americans came from Asia but even the secluded Native Americans in Mexico have a bit of European blood in them but if you look at the innuit people in Canada, you can see how closely related to Asian Native Americans can look.(Toshiro Mifune, the Japanese actor who played the role of a Mexican indigenous person on the movie “Animas Trujano”)This reminds me that when Cristopher Colombus landed on the Carribean, he believed he landed on on a smaller island of Japan (Cipango) and when he spoke with the Native Tainos, he believed he was speaking to the Japanese and even got a Japanese interpreter who was shocked when he realized they spoke a strange languague and since India was the richest region in Asia back then (many things from Asia like Buddhism and martial arts originated in India), the “Indies” was the European medieval name for Asia and all of the Asians were called “Indian” by europeans, thats why the Native Americans where called “Indians” to this day even if they where confused with Japanese.There was an old movie called “Animas Trujano” which was starred by a japanese actor called Toshiro Mifune.Be honest, if you saw Toshiro Mifune dressed in those clothes on a Mexican village with an indigenous demenour would you not confuse him with a Mexican Native American?Well, a lot of Mexicans did not realize the protagonist was from Japan since he looked and played a very accurate representation of a Native American in Mexico.Edit: Thanks for the upvotes, that is a sign that the information was helpful. I will ad some additional information that I hope might be interesting.Not to sound classist, the left is the rich version and the right is the poor version.In the first image, representing Latinos of European ancestry, I chose Fidel Castro because when he was young he was rich and came from a Spanish family but in the Cuban revolution he lost all (or most) of his fortune.In the second image is how we mestizos would look, I chose Kuno Becker, a mestizo Mexican who played a mestizo with education in the movie 5 de Mayo and other novelas while in in the movie Gol he played a lower class Mexican-American chicano (even got the Mexican farmer accent right).The third image, representing Amerindians is the Japanese actor called Toshiro Mifune where he played a Mexican Indian in the movie "Animas Trujano".In a developed Mexico our Indians may look like the Japanese and all our citizens would have this educated and wealthy demeanor.

The country is still out there, believe it or not. As far as nature goes, traveling right now is downright luxurious, because crowds are pretty rare.If you take basic precautions and try not put other people at risk by being a slob, I don’t think taking a road trip in the U.S. is all that big of a deal, personally. This virus is going to be with us for at least the next year. Like most normal human beings, I’m not going to sit in my house for a year. Neither should you. Unless you just really like being at home, hiding from the world is actually really bad for most people’s mental and physical health.Doing some travel is a great way to rest your brain and get a reminder that there’s something out there worth living for. It’s scientifically proven that sunshine, mountain air and sea breezes have a huge psychological and emotional benefit. Fighting the virus has to involve the total picture. Health isn’t just about germs and viruses.I’ve been on four road trips since March. Two around Arizona (before Arizona became a big hot spot); one around Colorado (you can see a lot of Colorado in 12 days); and one up to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota, about 4 hours from where I live.If you want to stay clear of crowds, the American West is the place. There are crowded spots in the West, for sure. But if you’re open to driving 20 miles down the road, it’s you and the jackrabbits. You can camp for free on most Bureau of Land Management land, which is usually open sagebrush crisscrossed by dirt roads. Same goes for most of the National Forests out West and even parts of the East.I parked my rental car off a dirt road in Colorado, about 20 miles south of Great Sand Dunes National Park (which was closed because of the virus back in May.) Once you get adjusted to the lonesomeness, there’s some fantastic beauty along the Upper Rio Grande. This campsite will set you back about zero dollars:Incredible sunrise out there, looking north toward Blanca Peak, the Sangre de Cristos in the east:Most indoor museums around the United States are closed. But if you’re into history and art, there’s still plenty of cool historical sites to visit — plus a lot of eccentric or not very well known sites off the beaten path.Just down the road from where I spent that night camping, you can check out Cano’s Castle in Antonito, Colorado, built by a Vietnam War vet almost entirely out of beer cans. There’s lots of this stuff around the U.S. if you know where to find it:Wander up into the backroads of the high Rockies — preferably with an SUV — and you can check out a lot of old silver mining towns. Silverton, Colorado, had a sign at the edge of town asking travelers not to stop there (so I respected that), but you can drive straight through town and take the bumpy-as-hell road up to the old ghost town of Animas Forks just below Cinammon Pass. Nobody lives there, so you’re not at high risk of infecting people.At about 11,000 feet, I’m pretty sure Animas Forks was the highest town in the United States at one point. It also had the highest-published newspaper in the country. This is all BLM land now (that’s “Bureau of Land Management,” not “Black Lives Matter”) and all the buildings are open. Fortunately, they’re not restored. (I’m not a big fan of restorations.)The road up there is torture, but an adventure. And even in a pandemic, Americans go to some of the most remote places.I passed an SUV coming down the other direction from Animas Forks, so I knew the road was passable farther up. But the woman inside stopped and waved.“I wouldn’t go any farther up that road if I were you,” she said with a smile. She was about 70 and wearing big bug-eyed sunglasses. “Look at these pictures I took on my phone.”She showed me a huge ditch just up the road — a great place to get your car stuck.“If you don’t mind me asking,” I said, “What are you doing up here?”“I’m with the U.S. Census. It says there’s an address up here!”I was pretty sure no one had lived in Animas Forks since about 1920. But she was headed up there, anyway. For all our faults, I like this kind of stuff about Americans. We don’t stop and we’re not terrified into paralysis.If you like old abandoned buildings and breathtaking nature, it’s worth the nerve-wracking drive:National parks have been opening up again, though a lot of them are still closed. Check the Park Service’s website. I also wouldn’t count on there being many services in remote places like Yellowstone right now. One of the main concerns about re-opening the Grand Canyon isn’t the danger of spreading the infection at the canyon itself. It just happens to be next door to the Navajo Reservation, which has a lot of healthcare challenges. (You can go to the Grand Canyon, but please be considerate, fill your car full of food and water in a town like Flagstaff, make sure you’ve got a full tank of gas, then do your best not to stop at the gas stations on the Navajo Reservation.)I was there the day the Grand Canyon closed back in April — pretty sure for the first time in its history. The park rangers let me in, said anyone already in the park could stay until sunset, then closed the gates behind me. There weren’t more than a couple hundred people in the whole park. So, total bliss.The Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado is just as good as the Grand Canyon, in a way. If Arizona’s too much of a hotspot right now, the U.S. is vast. Hard to run out of things to see.Art museums closed? No problem. There’s some pretty cool Native American rock art scattered around the West, carved or painted onto walls and rocks in the open sunshine. This guy showing off his balls is a favorite stop on the Utah side of Dinosaur National Monument. I was out there on Memorial Day. The Colorado side was almost totally abandoned. Some of this rock art is 800 years old or more. So, older than Italian Renaissance masterpieces:The night sky is still up there, and the stars aren’t going to give you Covid. If you really want to see the sky shimmering, get up about 3 a.m. Even at midnight, it’s usually not dark enough in the summer to get the best view of the stars. The Milky Way really gets visible around 2–3 a.m.Looking out the tent door at Palm Canyon, Arizona, back in April:Most hotels and motels are still open, but if you enjoy camping, it’s worth staying at parks or just finding a free campsite somewhere in a forest. Don’t know how many developed campsites have reopened, but check into “dispersed camping” or backcountry/wilderness camping. Some states have managed the virus pretty well, so they re-opened their state park campgrounds.I live in Minnesota. Always reluctant to share my favorite parks here, because they’re so gorgeous, you have to make a camping reservation weeks, even months, in advance to get a site. But then you see pictures of the North Shore and it’s no wonder why:The Midwest isn’t all cornfields. If you live in the Midwest, you don’t even need to drive all the way out to Oregon or New England to see a big body of water. Here’s the summit of Leveaux Mountain in Minnesota. Lake Superior at that elevation looks like an ocean:Pacific Northwest? Nope. Here’s Palisade Head, about an hour north of Duluth. Minnesota’s North Shore is like a little chunk of the Pacific Northwest within a day’s drive of Chicago. And there must be a pot of gold somewhere over the border in Canada:Northern Lights season is coming up. I caught the aurora last September along the Gunflint Trail outside Grand Marais, Minnesota (super close to the Canadian border). September is when it starts getting dark enough to see the aurora again. September is coming up soon. Get familiar with the University of Alaska’s Aurora Forecast, do some research, and try to find the Northern Lights this fall. They’re visible in some parts of the Lower 48:If you’re into stargazing, northern Minnesota is also one of the darkest places in the eastern U.S. Light pollution isn’t a big problem north of Duluth. The Boundary Waters are like going back 200 years in time. It’s a great spectacle that’s worth staying up to see:99% of gas stations are open. Grocery stores are obviously open. Provision your car.Only a few states (New Mexico and Maine included, I think) require you to self-isolate if you fly in. For a while, at least, Maine was also asking you to do it even if you drive in. Check those laws and respect them.But if you just load your car up with several coolers and a lot of food, you don’t have to stop very often. Nobody thnks we’re going to eradicate this virus, so it’s going to spread over the entire world soon enough. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be smart and considerate without staying cooped up at home for months.

Given the relatively large numbers of people with last names like MacKenzie and Wilson in the English-speaking world, it is no surprise that people with these names have held leadership positions in the United States and various Commonwealth countriesThomas MacKenzie (Russian admiral) (1740–1786), Russian rear admiralRobert Ramsay Mackenzie (1811–1873), premier of Queensland, AustraliaAlexander Mackenzie (politician) (1822–1892), second prime minister of CanadaThomas Mackenzie (1854–1930), prime minister of New ZealandBruce Roy MacKenzie (died 1978), British intelligence operative and Minister of Agriculture in Kenya/Henry Wilson (1812–1875), 18th vice-president of the USJames Wilson (U.S. politician) (1835–1920), Secretary of AgricultureWoodrow Wilson, (1856–1924), 28th President of the United StatesCharles Erwin Wilson (1890–1961), United States Secretary of Defense(Charles) Malcolm Wilson (1914–2000), Governor of New YorkHarold Wilson (1916–1995), British Prime Minister (1964–1970) and (1974–1976)Michael Holcombe Wilson, (1937-2019) Canadian Minister of Finance (1984-1991) Minister of International Trade (1991-1993) Ambassador to the US (2006-2009)Alan Wilson, born 1973, Attorney General of South CarolinaAnima Wilson is former deputy Ashanti Regional Minister of Ghana.Brenda Wilson, Lieutenant–Governor of South Australia
