Last Witness Weekend

I've been meaning to go to a Witness Weekend for about... oh, 5 years now. And there's always something else that comes up. But this coming weekend (tomorrow!) is the last one EVER, and so I'm dropping everything else and i'm actually going to go.

Mostly I'm just excited to be out in the woods in an incredibly beautiful place. But there is some official content, and it's along these lines...

Sacred Land Use Plan
Presentation of the Squamish Nation Forest and Wilderness Land Use Plan by telàlsemkin/siyam/Chief Bill Williams, Sekyú Siyám’ Chief Ian Campbell and KáKeltn Siyám/Chief Gibby Jacobs.

Ecological Economics
Engage with Micheal Barkusky, ecological economist, in a dialogue on envisioning a wilderness-friendly economy.

Slahal / Bone Game
Nexws Chenchents/Eugene Harry will involve participants in traditional Coast Salish games at the fireside gathering on Saturday evening.

Should be interesting! I'm looking forward to it.

Did you go? Can you report back on it?

Hey Sarah, did you go? Can you report back on what it was like? I'd love to know.

When I read that last weekend was going to be the last time outside people would be invited I knew I'd missed my chance. So I'd love to hear about it from someone who made it.
