The Art of Honoring the Land and Water

Café SAT

Conferences

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, you're invited to an enlightening and transformative event that celebrates Indigenous stewardship of the land and water.

At the heart of our gathering, two revered Indigenous Elders will engage in a profound discussion on the paramount significance of fostering connections between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Organizations and Communities.

This day of reflection is also one of creativity: what begins as a discussion will feed into a program exploring how climate advocacy can be at once poetic, culinary and artistic.

Presented in collaboration with the Écolab series by the Society for Technological Arts.

This day of reflection and creativity will take place in person at SAT Cafe and be partially broadcast via video conference.
