==================================
W̱SÁNEĆ activist Paul Cheoketen Wagner shares his perspective on the movement for social and ecological justice in the Salish Sea bioregion. He draws from his cultural work as a Coast Salish story-teller and his community organizing work encouraging municipalities around Puget Sound and the Salish Sea to transition to the post-petroleum economy. Paul articulates a vision for restoring the circle of life, promoting inter-cultural healing and peace, and rebalancing relationships among humans and between humans and the natural world.

Karuara: People of the River (Peru)
Tuesday October 24th at 7 pm-9 pm
First Metropolitan United Church
932 Balmoral Rd (at Quadra)
Room 200 (upstairs)
Panelists:
Mari Luz Canaquiri: Indigenous Kukama leader from Peru’s Amazon, and president of the Kukama Women’s Federation.
Miguel Araoz: Peruvian artist and film maker from the Andes.
Stephanie Boyd: Canadian film maker who resides in Peru.
Miguel and Stephanie are supporting Mari Luz and the women’s federation in their struggle to defend the Amazon’s rivers from big oil and other mega development projects.
The speakers will present a book of stories about the origins of the rivers and the “karuara” — river spirits who live underneath the waters and protect the indigenous peoples and their environment. In solidarity with Indigenous communities around the world, they believe that the water sources are sacred. Indigenous communities are guardians of their rivers, lakes and streams in the spirit of conservation and protection.
