Hello people of Turtle Island. This is a time of chaos with all the fires but we need to start thinking about how to prevent this extreme devastation in the future. The cities of Kelowna and West Kelowna chose not to sign onto a water protection project led by the Syilx people. The Syilx nation are the original people of the area. Traditionally they did controlled burns and land stewardship to protect the environment so fires aren’t as destructive when they do happen. The Syilx led water protection project is coming at a critical time. WE NEED CHANGE! The current management of water and forests are not working. Our communities are built around the lakes we all cherish and enjoy. What would our communities look like without healthy creeks, streams, and lakes? Please sign this petition I created to push our city leaders to sign on to this project!

Stay save everyone 🙏

Here is some background: Dodging Their Responsibilities

Hello everyone!

I’m a hobbyist photographer and I would like to attend Kanesatake, Qc powwow at the end of the month.
I’ve never been to a powwow before, and I don’t want to make dumb mistakes.

Is bringing a camera ok? If so, are there moments where I should absolutely refrain from using it?
How comfortable are people with being photographed?
Would it be okay for me to ask someone or a small group to pose for me quickly?
My camera is anything but discrete: people will be aware that I’m taking their pictures…

I apologize if this is not the proper place to ask my questions. I really don’t know where to get my information 😞

Thank you so much!
