A Healing Walk Through the Alberta Tar Sands @ 1912 Center, Arts Workshop Room
Dec 7 @ 11:00 pm – Dec 8 @ 1:00 am

Megaloads? Tar Sands? Pipelines? Climate Change? What’s the Connection? Explore these questions with local citizens who journeyed to the tar sands of northern Alberta to join the First Nations (Native Americans) and other concerned citizens from across the continent for the Healing Walk. Led by First Nations elders and leaders, participants witnessed the scale of environmental devastation caused by tar sands mining and crude oil processing.

 

Six local healing walkers will share what they learned on their solidarity journey, connecting the local and regional megaloads, huge pipeline projects, impacts on people and places, and overarching climate change and moral issues. Their presentation and discussion, A Healing Walk Through the Alberta Tar Sands, will be on Saturday, December 7 from 3 to 5pm. This event is in the Arts Workshop room immediately following the Winter Market at the 1912 Center, 412 E. Third St., Moscow. Sponsored by the Palouse Environmental Sustainability Coalition, Wild Idaho Rising Tide, Idaho Sierra Club and 350 Idaho. For further information, contact Pat Fuerst, epfuerst@frontier.com.

In celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day (Monday, October 13), the Washington State University (WSU) Clearinghouse on Native Teaching and Learning will feature the film The Lost Fish, jointly produced by the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission and Freshwaters Illustrated and selected for the EcoFilm Festival.  Also honoring the memory of the late Elmer Crow of the Nez Perce Tribe, the movie explores the importance of the lamprey eel to the Plateau tribes and tribal actions to ensure that these ancient fish return to their native rivers and streams throughout the Columbia River Basin.  Share an evening celebrating the contemporary lives of Indigenous people from our region, through this film shown on Monday, October 13, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm in WSU’s Cleveland Hall Room 30W.  Please call 509-335-3478 with questions.
