“The Journey” represents the spiritual work Native peoples undertake to transform painful experiences into meaning and purpose. A powerful manifestation of this is the Canoe Journey.

Since 1989, Northwest Coastal Indians have participated in the Canoe Journey, traveling to villages along the ancestral highways of the Salish Sea. This spiritual commitment requires participants to be free from alcohol and drugs, offering profound healing for individuals, families, and tribes, especially those in recovery.

A panel discussion, hosted by The Democracy Collaborative, explores integrating Indigenous wisdom into a "next system" to address economic and political crises. This new system would center life and nature, drawing from non-capitalist social and economic forms.

The panel features Freida Jacques (Turtle Clan Mother, Onondaga Nation), Jeff Corntassel (Cherokee Nation, University of Victoria), and Miki'ala Catalfano (Hawai'i resident, co-director of Native Roots Network). Stephanie Gutierrez (Oglala Sioux Tribe, founder of Hope Nation LLC) moderates, with Joe Guinan (President, The Democracy Collaborative) providing the introduction.

Meat and dairy production significantly contributes to global wildlife extinctions and the climate crisis. This industry consumes 30% of the Earth’s surface and 80% of U.S. agricultural land, while also being a major source of air and water pollution.

This week's conversation will explore our efforts to protect human health and the environment from this powerful industry. Topics will include COVID-19 in slaughterhouses, policy impacts, dangers to wildlife and workers, dietary choices, and the rise of meatless alternatives. Senior attorney Hannah Connor, population and sustainability director Stephanie Feldstein, and environmental health director Lori Ann Burd will lead the discussion.
