Grassy Narrows Talk by Chrissy Swain
When?
Tuesday July 7
What
time?
7 pm to 9 pm
Where?
Sky Dragon Centre - 27 King William
St. - ground floor
What the heck?
Chrissy Swain, Grassy Narrows youth leader and mother will be speaking and presenting a new documentary about the ongoing struggles for healing and land protection at Grassy Narrows.
Chrissy is embarking on this tour to draw attention to links between environmental destruction and the destruction of communities and to open dialogue about protecting and healing the earth, as well as healing communities and the relationships between them.
Last year, Chrissy Swain led a group of 22 youth from Grassy Narrows (and a few other First Nations communities), on the Protecting Our Mother Walk—over 1800 kilometres from Grassy Narrows to Toronto—which became a catalyst for the Gathering of Mother Earth Protectors and Sovereignty Sleepover last May at Queens Park. The message of the walk was: no exploitation of Indigenous lands and no criminalisation of land protectors.
Chrissy has been an integral leader in the Grassy Narrows resistance to logging on their territory and in the empowerment of youth and traditional resurgence of Anishnabe culture that is taking place in their community.
