Seeing grandparents, children, young Indigenous sc

Seeing grandparents, children, young Indigenous scholars, friends, and neighbours come out to support Gitxaała on the courthouse steps on May 19th made it more than obvious that social attitudes have undergone a sea of change. The work being done by Indigenous Nations is not only aligned with the wants and needs of the citizenry at large: we are investing in that work, starting with donating to support court challenges like this one.

Together with your support, we managed to raise over $210k in just over a month!

It will now be some months’ wait before we hear a decision from the court. Meanwhile: to everyone who bore witness, attended rallies and webinars, donated and expressed solidarity in so many ways: thank you. The closing arguments delivered on the morning of May 19th was the flowering of a generation of work by Gitxaała and their allies. It has been an honour to share that experience with this community!

Join Luke Wallace @lukewallacemusic as he headlines a show that will bring together storytellers, spoken word and a chorus of voices to sing songs and fundraise for our Breathing Lands campaign.

The Breathing Lands are a vast peatland in northern Ontario whose wetland ecosystems, stewarded since time immemorial by Anishinaabe caretakers, act as the lungs of planet Earth. These rich lands and waters are at risk, as the Ford government pushes to exploit minerals in what they call 'The Ring of Fire'.

Tickets can be found at: https://fundraise.raventrust.com/event/breathing-lands-circle-of-voices-with-luke-wallace/e491490 or LINK IN BIO!

See you there!

Starting in the uncertain times of 2020, we took to the waters to celebrate local artists, musicians and community with the launch of Festival Afloat: and we raised a lot of money for Heiltsuk Nation doing so. Since then we’ve been returning to the waters across the Salish Sea for a yearly music festival fundraiser!

This year is no different: we’re excited to announce the dates and cities that will be hosting a Festival Afloat this summer.

Here are the dates:
Vancouver — July 9
Gabriola Island — July 11
Salt Spring Island — July 12 & 13
Victoria — July 13
Pender Island — July 14th

Mark the days in your calendar and look out for the ticket launch coming JUNE 9th!

This year will feature some familiar Festival Afloat voices, like Desiree Dawson and Renee Layla, but we’ll also be welcoming some exciting new artists! Keep an eye on our channels to see who will be playing in your city! All funds from Festival Afloat 2023 will go to Heiltsuk Nation

Sending a BIG congrats to all the organizations who backed Nuchatlaht Nation’s legal challenge @wildernews @stand.earth

“We admire the grace and conviction of the Nuchatlaht for upholding their own inherent rights, responsibilities and title to their lands and waters. We know that the land belongs to them. The only question that remains is how long it will take the B.C. NDP government to recognize the obvious – that when European colonization began, Indigenous Nations were already using, stewarding and living on the land. It was not free to take.”

We share those same sentiments!
