AN ONLINE WEBINAR TUESDAY, JULY 9TH, 7pm
Join us for an inspiring event as the Stqeeye’ Learning Society celebrates the return of Quw’utsun family members to their home on unceded territory near Xwaaqw’um.
You will have the privilege of hearing from Sulsameethl (Deb George) and her granddaughter Sulatiye’ (Maiya Modeste), who will illuminate the restoration projects in Xwaaqw’um, where Elders pass traditional knowledge to youth through vibrant land-based learning programs. They will delve into the rich history of the Quw’utsun on Salt Spring, the loss of their traditional territory, and the heartwarming discovery of a new 10-acre sanctuary. They will share some of the gifts that indigenous wisdom can bring to all of us as we combat the effects of industrialization and climate change, ultimately transforming the landscape and community relations.
This is a fundraiser for the Stqeeye’ Learning Society, so all funds raised through registration will go directly to their work on the land.
