From September 2016 to April 2017 I attended Langara Reconciliation Carving Cohort. This was my online journey- a collection of research, thoughts, feelings, work and anything that would aid me and others to help the next 7 generations.

Ta ah and Cedar give a greeting from Tsleil Waututh Nation at the rally against Kinder Morgan
Learn this song. It is the Coast Salish Song!!
No more Canadian Anthemn, Sing this!!!
Take the pledge
"With our voice, in the
courts or the streets, on the water or the land. Whatever it takes, we
will stop the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.”"
Posters
and leaflets are available for pick up from the Wilderness Committee
office at 46 East 6th Avenue (near Main and Kingsway). We will do our
best to ensure a steady supply but it's probably a good idea to call
ahead (604-683-8220) and make sure there are some available.
WC
has very generously contributed almost 2000 posters and 2000 leaflets
but they won't be able to print any more so kindly refrain from asking
them. If your group or organization wants to print their own. please
message us directly through the Climate Convergence FB page and we will
be happy to email you the pdfs.
We'll also have them at our next
Organizing Meeting, Wednesday Oct 19th @Langara College room B144 from
7:00 to 9:00pm and every subsequent meeting.
Copied and Shared from https://www.facebook.com/events/128002137658093/ Prime Minister Trudeau’s decision on Kinder
Morgan is fast approaching. Now more than ever we need a show of force
to show that – no matter his choice – this region will do whatever it
takes to stop this pipeline. We need to bring the spirit of Standing
Rock, where Indigenous-led grassroots opposition stopped a pipeline, to
the West Coast.
RALLY AND MARCH We will start with a brief
rally at City Hall followed by a march across the Cambie Street Bridge
and end at Library Square with speakers and music. This will be a family
friendly event with The Peace Bearers marshalling the march. Further
details addressing accessibility are coming soon.
TAKE THE PLEDGE We’re launching a “Take the Pledge” campaign to prepare
for escalating actions in the event Trudeau's cabinet approves the
Kinder Morgan pipeline at the end of December. People will be able to
sign the pledge and commit to supporting whatever action is necessary to
stop the pipeline including peaceful civil disobedience. On November
19th we will conduct a mass public pledge to demonstrate to cabinet the
scale of opposition they are facing if they attempt to move forward with
Kinder Morgan. If Trudeau wants Clayoquot Sound 2.0 in the middle of
Metro Vancouver – he’ll get it.

This event is happening on the unceded and occupied territories of the Musqueam Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh people.
"Vancouver artist Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, of Coast Salish and Okanagan descent, is showcased in this provocative exhibition of works that confront the colonialist suppression of First Nations peoples and the ongoing struggle for Indigenous rights to lands, resources, and sovereignty.
Twenty years since his last major Canadian solo show, Unceded Territories will demonstrate the progression of Yuxweluptun’s artistry and ideas through hard-hitting, polemical,
but also playful artworks that span his remarkable 30- year career,
featuring a selection of brand-new works exhibited publicly for the
first time. Read More here http://moa.ubc.ca/portfolio_page/lawrence-paul/"
