This is an Adult Workshop.
Sharing a meal together begins our journey of walking together. I will share sacred teachings called “Snu’uy’ulh” that have been handed down through our Ancestors. These are traditional laws governing respect, interconnection, and stewardship of the land and all living things. Nut’sa’ma:t (One heart, One Mind). This foundational principle dictates that everything is connected, and all actions must be taken with respect for the land, water, and future generations.
This is a FREE workshop hosted by Breaking Bannock with funding by Canadian Heritage - The Government of Canada.
Breaking Bannock gratefully accepts donations to keep offering programs - donations can be in cash brought to your class or e-transfers to breakingbannock@gmail.com
Geraldine Manson, also known as C’tasi:a, elder of Snuneymuxw First Nation, married to Earl Manson. She presently works at Vancouver Island University as the “Elder-in-Resident”.
C’tasi:a holds valuable teachings that were passed on to her by several Snuneymuxw Elders that mentored her over 17 years, teachings of Snuneymuxw lands that she refers to as “From the mountains to the rivers that flow into the Salish Sea” and what each contains. She was chosen to be their voice, eyes and legs when they can no longer do so, to continue to echo their words of history of Snuneymuxw.
