In the Spirit of Right and Respectful Relations Launch event at Town Hall

https://townhallseattle.org/event/in-the-spirit-of-right-and-respectful-relations/ 

We recently invited everyone to join us at the Woodland Park Zoo event sponsored by the Lummi People and climate justice partners, which featured a gift of the book, In the Spirit of Right and Respectful Relations: Conversations about Indigenous Wayus of Knowing and Being in Nature, as told to Kurt Russo. This book invites readers into a conversation rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing and being in nature. The vision of the project is to draw on ancestral knowledge to further empower and inspire Indigenous-led environmental campaigns with non-Indigenous allies and partners to the benefit of Mother Earth and all her relations down to the seventh generation. Come be a part of the celebration of this inaugural project, with a night full of powerful Pacific Northwest speakers. Facilitated by Jeff Renner, engaging public speaker and meteorologist, the talk will include Jay Julius Xw’tot lhem (President and founder of Se’Si’Le, previous Lummi Nation Chairman), Lynda Mapes (Pacific Northwest Journalist, reported with the Seattle Times for 27 years), and John Vechey (Cofounder of groundbreaking technology companies, and board member of Se’Si’Le).
