4th Talking Circle on Conservation
BoFEP is
pleased to announce the 4th Talking Circle on Conservation to be held in St.
Andrews on March 15. The Event will be at the Conference Center of SABS starting
at 10am.
This Talking Circle will bring
participants togethe to continue the process of understanding the First Nations
approach to conservation compared to the conservation concept of the non-Native
people in the region with the aim of finding ways to work together for the
“health of the Bay”. We will use shared values to to identify elements
(based on the above ‘understanding’) of the coastal ecology that are
particularly vulnerable; and to reach consensus on a
series of actions that can be implemented at the community level to protect the
vulnerable ecosystem components.
The Talking Circles from the beginning
have included members of the First Nations in the Atlantic region and members of
the Traditional Councils of some of those Nations on both sides of the St. Croix
River, as well as a cross-section of non-Native people from the Atlantic region.
We look forward to your participation on
Thursay March 15.
Sincerely,
Project organizers Hugh Akagi and Marianne
Janowicz
