Metis Nation of Greater Victoria invites you to join for the annual Knowledge Keepers Gathering! This is an event where we highlight and showcase Metis knowledge from academic researchers, Metis-focused research, to cultural knowledge holders, storytellers, artists, musicians and dancers.

This event is free, for anyone and everyone to attend, and there is no registration required.

*I'll update with more detailed info, closer to event date. A few things are still being worked out.*

#FlashbackFriday
Autumn 2021.
Warming up & chatting with #HereditaryChief Sonny Wallas (David Hanuse), Chief Ye-kue-klas of [Gwat’sinuxw (Quatsino)] nation.
He was sharing with me about feeling bullied/outnumbered by band council folks who are dishonouring their ancestors/betraying Creator & his work with culture & language preservation.

Wallas’s great-grandfather was James Wallas—coauthor of #Kwakiutl Legends. He was the former hereditary Chief of the Quatsino #FirstNation of the Northern #VancouverIsland #Kwakiutl.

What a privilege to be in the audience at the #SpiritPlantMedicineConference2023 as #PaulStamets called us all #KnowledgeKeepers. To receive that benediction as a group (& hear him honour one of my other inspirations, #ValentinaWasson), meet him & share the QR code for MY study! No matter what happens next, I know I shot my shot & the person who is doing the most good in the field is now aware of what I'm doing. 🍄 🙏 #SPMC2023 #PsychedelicResearch #CitizenScientist #MagicMushroomStrainSelection
I am looking for Indigenous Education suggestions for children in grades K-12, especially from British Columbia. If you know of great sources for this, do let me know! I have language resources but need crafts and historical oral story links from amazing Indigenous story holders, if possible. Thank you! #indigenous #indigenouseducation #britishcolumbia #education #canadian #firstnations #indigenousstories #knowledgekeepers
