Defenders of the Land, a national network of First Nations fighting for Indigenous rights, is organizing a cross-Canada week of educational events on Indigenous Rights and issues from October 25th to 31st, 2009.
This week of cultural and educational events is designed to build local relationships and contribute to creating a strong cross-Canada movement for Indigenous rights, self-determination, and justice.
Vancouver area events will include speaking events by First Nations activists and leaders, elders, intellectuals, and supporters. Cultural and arts activities are also planned.
As we enjoy our pumpkin pie it's comforting to think that the issues affecting native peoples don't affect "us". But we're all in the same Coast Salish boat, facing global corporatist, environmental, and economic challenges. "Sovereignty" doesn't sound so bad as we continue to discover what a world under corporate control might actually look like.
