SUMMARY:Sharing Wisdom: Indigenous Elders Perspectives on Waste and the Environment | Session 2 with Joan Morris
DESCRIPTION:– DETAILS –\n\nAnother great Virtual Event Series! \n\nUsing a respectful\, interview-style storytelling format\, CWMA members will hear from Indigenous Elders from across BC as they share their observations and experiences. Indigenous Peoples have been stewards of the land for millennia\, and their perspectives stem from this deep\, continuous connection that we can all learn from. \n\n\nCWMA is proud to partner with Indigenous Community for Leadership & Development (ICLD) to bring this series to life. ICLD have worked with over 90 First Nations communities in British Columbia and has developed strong relationships with them all. As an organization\, they place Indigenous traditional knowledge at the forefront of their operations and are committed to sharing wisdom and celebrating community. \nThese unique events intend to raise awareness of Indigenous perspectives on the environment\, waste\, and how it impacts our earth and people. \nThis series is part of CWMA’s own efforts toward reconciliation with an invitation to our members to be part of our journey to build knowledge and community. \n\n\nSession 2 – Elder \n Joan Morris\, whose traditional name is Sellemah\, is an elder from the Songhees Nation. She was the last Songhees Nation member to have lived on TL’Ches until 1957\, when the well went dry. She’s a Survivor of the Residential Schools and has been an advocate for Residential School Survivors and Indian Hospital Survivors. \n\nMeet our Interviewer \n wəqʷaqʷələq | Cyril Morris\, ICLD: Born into the x̌əx̌ə teŋəxʷ (sacred lands) of Leǩʷəŋən Territory — the homelands of the Songhees Nation and Esquimalt Nation on what many now know as Victoria\, B.C. — I spent my earliest years rooted in the snepənəq (teachings) of my grandmothers\, my mother\, and the stories of our people. My name\, wəqʷaqʷələq\, carries the weight (eyʔ steɫŋəxʷ – good medicine) of my lineage as my mother was born and raised on our lands\, known as tl’čəs (the original Songhees Islands) and reminds me every day of my cultural responsibility to walk in balance. \n\n– COST–\n$23.00 +GST\nCWMA’s work is supported entirely by events\, sponsorships\, and membership. We’re grateful you’re here. Reduced pricing is available for students and non-profit organizations — reach out to learn more.
