I think media is a huge thing in world wide. Leaving in a isolated community of Whapmagoostui it has a big impact with media through the Internet, video, technology, books and advertisement. We constantly get information what is popular , news , top ten movies or music through satellite dish which as a lot of channels depending which package we buy and the Internet is there to surf 24/7 which has very thing you look for. Young people imitate what they learn through media. They were clothing which don’t have anything to do with our culture. They buy the big brand names of shoes and clothing like G Unit, Sean John ,Choppers etc… Those clothing are very expensive and has no connection with our people of eeyou estchee.
I remember one time my son asked for guitar hero. I respond by saying what is guitar hero.He explained it’s a guitar that is connected to a playstation 2 you can actually play on t.v. I asked where he saw it. He told me he played it at his friends. By playing the game once he got really hooked up with it. He learned fast how to play the guitar but for me I couldn’t follow which colour bar to press. I found it to difficult to play and didn’t interest me. Even my 8yr old could play in lower levels it helps him to follow steps and with is reflexes and coordination.
