Session Summary:

March 9: What is a decolonized and embodied relationship to water? Introduction to Indigenous water law

March 16: syilx water law through syilx story systems - Lower Similkameen Community

March 23: Heiltsuk water law- Kelly Brown and Diana Chan, Heiltsuk Integrated Resource Management Department

March 30: Anishinaabe water laws, UNDRIP, enforcement and support for Indigenous jurisdiction

In this four-session interactive workshop we will explore what decolonization of our relationship with water can mean. We will examine our own embodied connection to place and watersheds/water bodies and be briefly introduced to water teachings from Anishinaabe, Okanagan/Syilx, and Heiltsuk peoples. We will explore the Indigenous principle of reciprocity and how it relates to non - Indigenous gift traditions and what this means for human relationships with water. The recent work of the Heiltsuk Nation in developing their own water laws raises questions as to how Indigenous water laws and jurisdiction can be applied, enforced, and be supported by non-Indigenous people. The workshop will include guest speakers, body exercises, short videos and on-line resources, as well as readings from Unsettling Spirit: A Journey into Decolonization.
