Barbie Kelly

I was wondering if any one knew how to convert Barbie crochet patterns to the size of kelly doll. Thank you?

All crochet pattern books will tell you that the needle size listed is approximate and to make a test swatch first to judge the accurate size. Some people crochet tight, some crochet loose, and this all bears a factor on the size of the finished garment. The size and type of yarn also bears a factor. There are some things I have made (such as granny squares) where I have had to use three or four different sized needles to get all the squares to come out the same size.

When reducing from a Barbie pattern to a Kelly size, you would probably go down three needle sizes. Bear in mind that if you also change to a smaller yarn (crochet thread instead of crochet yarn, for example), you may need to only go down one needle size.

It's a trial and error type of thing. Try a simple pattern first, and adjust needle sizes as needed. (The same number of stitches would be used, just smaller needles and/or smaller thread.)

I just went through the reverse. I had to enlarge my Barbie crochet patterns to fit a doll twice her size. Trial and error taught me to use regular 4-ply crochet yarn and two needle sizes larger. I got it done, though, and it looks great to me...!

Native American

What is the story behind the Native American Indians of Canada?

In other words, did or did not Canada do the same barbarous things to their Native American Indians that the United States did? I would tend to think not, but I'd like to know just the same.

canada is no different than usa when it comes to treatment of native people.

look at some of the provisions of the indian act. here are wonderful ways canada decided to magically rid themselves of natives. a person stopped being native by:

marrying a man who was not a Status Indian

enfranchisement (until 1960, an Indian could vote in federal elections only by renouncing Indian status)

having a mother and paternal grandmother who did not have status before marriage (these people lost status at 21)

being born out of wedlock to a mother with status and a father without.

here are some of the amendments to it over the years:

Amended to prohibit the sale of agricultural produce by Indians in Prairie Provinces without an appropriate permit from an Indian agent.[4] This prohibition is, as of 2008, still included in the Indian Act, though it is not enforced

Amended to prohibit religious ceremonies (such as potlatches) and dances (such as Tamanawas dances)

Amended to outlaw all dances, ceremonies and festivals that involved the wounding of animals or humans, or the giving away of money or goods

Amended to allow aboriginal people to be removed from reserves near towns with more than 8,000 residents.

Amended to allow municipalities and companies to expropriate portions of reserves, without surrender, for roads, railways, and other public works.[10] Further amended to allow a judge to move an entire reserve away from a municipality if it was deemed "expedient."

Amended to require western Indians to seek official permission before appearing in "aboriginal costume" in any "dance, show, exhibition, stampede or pageant

Amended to allow the Superintendent-General to lease out uncultivated reserve lands to non-aboriginals if the new lease-holder would use it for farming or pasture

Amended to prevent anyone (aboriginal or otherwise) from soliciting funds for Indian legal claims without a special license from the Superintendent-General. This effectively prevented any First Nation from pursuing aboriginal land claims

Amended to allow Indian agents to direct band council meetings, and to cast a deciding vote in the event of a tie

Amended to allow First Nations women the right to keep or regain their status even after "marrying out", and to grant status to the children (but not grandchildren) of such a marriage. This amendment was debated in Parliament as Bill C-31. Under this amendment, full status Indians are referred to as 6-1. A child of a marriage between a status (6-1) person and a non-status person would qualify for 6-2 (half) status, but if his/her child in turn married another 6-2 or a non-status person, the child will be non-status. If a 6-2 marries a 6-1 or another 6-2, their children will revert to 6-1 status. Blood quantum is disregarded, or rather, replaced with a "two generation cut-off clause".[11] According to Thomas King, around half of status Indians are currently marrying non-status people, meaning this legislation will accomplish complete legal assimilation in a matter of a few generations
