Stealth & Cunning Indian Style.

Beware! The Borrower. :)

Here's a Native superhero comic character and the message has meaning. There are a few natives @ KMHC who like to borrow stuff and if you’re lucky you may get paid on cheque day. ;)

A funny story - During the summer whenever I saw the tenants sitting on the park benches deep in conversation I’d try to sneak up and scare one. I’d get a laugh watching their reaction and they knew I meant no harm. It’s was great at first nobody was immune I was like a cat approaching its prey I moved with stealth and cunning until the tenants got wise. Using their Indian skills they would stake out the area for sneaky Tony and one night my shenanigans backfired. I was about to pounce on one unsuspected tenant when suddenly I was attacked from behind. I didn’t see tenant Linda creep up from behind and poke me. Scared the shite out me!……yep paybacks are a bitch. The group of tenant elders broke out in laughter knowing I got snagged. Hee hee! :D

More good news to share: After all these years I finally received in the mail my Canadian Native status card from Ottawa our Nation’s Capital. I was so excited it’s been a long journey for our family it's a good feeling knowing we belong to a native band in the province of Ontario. Honorable Grandfather Mathew would be proud of our accomplishment. :)

Poor Working Environment

My unit is located near the KMHC office, along with a friendly wave or hello I see the junior staff going about their business in a cheerful manner with the exception of one employee. You would think KMHC has a pleasant working environment but that is not the case. March 2016 is when Urban Native Homes head office was forced to move from their former spacious location to the cramp basement level of KMHC. There were approx. 8-10 staff members at the time. Then the Urban Native Homes financial scandal broke out and soon after the current UNH acting director’s illicit past became public knowledge, everyone was worried will they have a job. Fearful meetings going on in the community room, the rumor mill was in full rotation while I just stood back and observed the panic. Check your search engine it states this building location is Urban Native Homes head office yet that is not correct. There is no real head office, the organization has s...

The Ladies of KMHC

I & friend Teresa Last week I attended a program host by NWC Hamilton, it was there I met up with six female tenants of KMHC. It was nice to see the ladies again I was greeted with hugs and smiles. The program was Holistic teachings by Jane Burning she spoke about the Creator and positive thinking. I enjoyed the presentation though it was a wee bit long. During lunch break I had the chance to chat with the KMHC tenants to find out how’s life going at KMHC. Things haven’t improved most tenants don’t like each other and there’s a lot of negative energy in the building. I offered a sympathetic ear and didn’t judge as they shared their stories. The big problem with KMHC is tenant Aunt Opie and I’m glad she didn’t attend the NWC program. You may recall I spoke of her in past blogs, aunt Opie’s negativity spreads throughout KMHC. She brags about sending false complaint e-mails about tenants and staff to Justin the head direc...

Sandy Holland

On February 27th 2025 I heard the passing of tenant Elder Sandy Holland. I knew she was in bad health and said to her friend she's ready to go. I met her years ago when she moved to KMHC she seem a bit daffy yet in a nice way, never spoke mean about others but had strong opinions about UNH staff. We would meet at UNH dinner functions and meetings and always offered me hug. She never got personal sharing her life stories with me which I can respect. RIP
