Unceded means that this land was never surrendered\, transferred or relinquished in any way and\, as such\, the land remains sovereign Indigenous territory. \nIt is our intention to ground this evening in an understanding of Indigenous sovereignty over these lands and waters\, as well as the foods and medicines grown here\, and use this time together to unpack the colonial powers that perpetuate injustice in our climate systems. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FEATURED GUESTS\nT’uy’t’tanat Cease WyssT’uy’t’tanat Cease Wyss (Skwxwu7mesh\, Sto:lo\, Hawaiian\, Swiss) is an educator\, interdisciplinary artist and Indigenous ethnobotanist engaged in community based teaching and sharing.

Wyss has participated and exhibited at galleries\, museums\, festivals and public space such as Vancouver Art Gallery\, Morris\, Helen Belkin Art Gallery\, Contemporary Art Gallery and the PuSh Festival to name a few. Their work can be found in various collections such as the National Library of Canada\, Special Collections at the Walter Phillips Gallery\, and the Vancouver Public Library.
