After 15 days of celebration of this Diwali, anoth

After 15 days of celebration of this Diwali, another Diwali festival is celebrated in a particular place of North India called Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. On the night of the full moon in the Hindu month of Kartik, Dev Diwali is celebrated. According to Hindu mythology, on this day the Hindu god Shiva killed a demon named Tripurasur . Therefore, the festival, Dev Deepawali, is celebrated to mark the victory of Lord Shiva over the devil. Millions of diyas (earthen lamps) are lit along the Ganges River's ghats this day to celebrate this festival. On this night, the gods are said to descend from heaven to take a bath in the Ganges River.

It’s an ancient Navajo teaching called Hózhó, and it’s more than just a phrase—it’s about living in balance and harmony with the world around you, embracing both the physical and spiritual aspects of life. Hózhó is a reminder to seek health, peace, and connection to nature in everything we do.

This concept reflects a broader understanding of Native American values that center on respect for the earth and maintaining balance in everyday life.

Some say that cryptomnesia, or "unconscious plagia

Some say that cryptomnesia, or "unconscious plagiarism," is a growing concern in the music industry. It happens when artists unknowingly copy melodies or lyrics. One commentator offers the example of Taylor Swift's hit "Shake It Off," which faced a lawsuit over its similarities to 3LW's 2001 track "Playas Gon' Play." The plaintiffs argued that Swift's use of phrases like "players gonna play and haters gonna hate" were identical to the lyrics from the earlier song. Swift said she wrote the lyrics herself, and this case appears to have been resolved

It may be a point of discussion in some circles, but “subconscious” copying is not a defence to copyright infringement.

Actor Simu Liu recently questioned the cultural se

Actor Simu Liu recently questioned the cultural sensitivity of a bubble tea company on the Canadian show Dragons' Den. The company was pitching a "healthier" bottled version of the traditional Taiwanese drink. Liu argued that, while innovation is great, the company did not acknowledge the cultural roots of bubble tea or involve Asians in consulting about the product. For Liu, this made their approach problematic.

How do you think companies should balance innovation with cultural respect?

It’s a time to celebrate the rich traditions, hi

It’s a time to celebrate the rich traditions, history, and cultural contributions of Native American communities. From storytelling to art, Native cultures offer a deep connection to nature and resilience. While we honor these traditions, it's also important to recognize that elements like sacred symbols or practices sometimes get used out of context. True appreciation means taking the time to understand and respect the meaning behind them.

This month, we focus on learning about and celebrating these rich cultures. Another way to celebrate the month is by supporting Native-owned businesses. How will you show support?

The 2024 Diwali Barbie marks a big step forward in

The 2024 Diwali Barbie marks a big step forward in cultural accuracy. Designed by Anita Dongre, the doll features authentic details like a traditional lehenga with intricate floral patterns, in contrast to past Barbies that had pale skin and westernized features. Earlier versions even had controversial elements, like a "monkey friend" accessory.

This new Barbie offers a thoughtful take on Indian culture. While it may not be perfect, it looks like an improvement from the more tone-deaf attempts of the 90s and 2010s.

What do you think – does this new Barbie get it right?

Did you know that every Diya (oil lamp) lit during Diwali symbolizes more than just decoration? These lamps represent the triumph of light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance.

Across India, different regions have their own take on Diwali decor—like the beautiful terracotta diyas in the North, symbolizing simplicity and purity, or the eco-friendly banana leaf lamps used in the South to honor nature. Each region brings its own unique style to this radiant festival, yet all share the same message: the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.
