"It was a sparking week with family, friends & community, Namina, at the inaugeral West Coast Elderders Conference held on the K'ómox Traditional Territory & put on by the Queneesh Indigenous Community Society.
The theme of the conference was: Teachings from the past, shaping our future. Other than the incredible sense of community, a highlight was the presentation Braiding Sweetgrass: Love is Medicine from the amazing Monique Gray Smith, author of many incredible books including Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults. There was cedar weaving with good friend & respected Kwakwaka'wakw Master Cedar Weaver, Tiger Leonard Williams. As well Bruce Alfred, respected Kwakwaka'wakw artist & carver of the 'Namgis. Bruce shared his deep respect, knowledge & skill on making Brentwood boxes. We also learned about thr Ne'nagwa'nakwala Project investigating the former St. Michael's Indian Residential School in ‘Yalis, Alert Bay with Elder Ray Tony Charlie. Of course, featured artist Corrine Hunt was a favorite at the market ✨️ A Fashion Show with incredible fashion designers, including the conference Host Heidi Henderson, made our last night together ❤️🔥 Special shout out to Randy Frank & the amazing K'ómox catering group who served such delicious food 👌🏽 Like this wasn't enough for a beautiful week full of memories we eneded it with a night at the Tide Mark theater with a tribute concert for Tina Turner with the amazing Caroline Boral from South Africa 🎊🎶 In times like these, there is nothing like the opportunity to come together."🙏🏽 - Ang Davison Comments are closed.
