These leaders are holding a retreat on Orcas Island from April 14-April 18 facilitated by Se’Si’Le, to discuss a suite of strategies with Lummi, Yakama, and Tseil-Waututh leaders for a just transition for indigenous sovereignty in a post-Putin Russia and restoring biodiversity in their traditional homeland territories. Several of the participants, along with Lummi tribal members, will be sharing an informative, inspired and inspiring evening of culture and ceremony at the Orcas Center on April 16 from 6:00-8:00.
