Join us for a lunchtime discussion on March 1st with Jacob Crane from Indigenous Climate Action! We are so excited to have Jacob come and speak to SFU students about the intersections of climate justice\, LandBack!\, and how we build toward Indigenous futures. He will also be speaking about Landback in the context of the TMX pipeline\, the terminus of which is located only 10 minutes away from SFU Burnaby campus\, highlighting the role universities and students play in addressing climate violence and its impact on Indigenous peoples and territories. This will be an online\, one hour event with a Q&A. \nSpeaker bio \nJacob is a citizen of the Tsuut’ina Nation\, Alberta\, Canada.

He first joined the climate justice movement in 2015 after hearing about the No Dakota Access Pipeline and the struggles that the Standing Rock Sioux tribe was experiencing.

I’m a Health Sciences student and a Food Justice Facilitator at Embark Sustainability. \nI was born and raised in Bénin republic for most of my childhood but I have lived in several other countries including Ethiopia and Ghana. Having moved around frequently\, I got the opportunity to try out a variety of meals across cultures. I appreciate that several countries share meals in common and love how that builds a sense of connection and community. As such\, I am particularly interested in this Community Kitchen as we explore meals we share commonly in Western Africa\, alongside my co-host. I look forward to discussing\, engaging\, and cooking with you all! \n  \nHello everyone my name is Welle Dias (she/her). I’m a Cameroonian majoring in Interactive Arts and Technology and minoring in Business Administration at SFU. \nAs a Cameroonian citizen\, what I love about my country is the culture\, especially the food. We have all sorts of variety of food depending on the region. However\, what brings us all together is the love that we put in when making meals. Cooking for others symbolizes how much we appreciate\, hence I hope to pass this message across my food as well. I also enjoy cooking home meals to remind myself where I am from and in hopes of making others appreciate my culture too. \n  \nEVENT ACCESSIBILITY \nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors at the SUB Community Kitchen\, room #2125 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.
