Dan Longboat, the lead organizer and visionary behind Shatitsirotha Boodiwewin: Re-igniting the Sacred Power of Creation with Pegi Eyers Nogojiwanong, Saturday April 23, 2016
Re-igniting the Sacred Power of Creation featured three renowned keynote speakers - Vandana Shiva, Manulani Meyer and Robin Kimmerer - as well as a series of workshops, panel discussions, presentations and breakout action groups. The weekend convened on Earth Day, and was open to all ages and to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, especially those who work in the environment sector. It brought together a diversity of voices, both academic and non-academic, young and old, to engage with traditional teachings and knowledge(s), to brainstorm solutions, and discuss future actions.
