One of the events for National Indigenous Peoples’ Day

 

This event celebrates a new food forest in East Van as well. The organizers write:

Join us for a breakfast celebration commemorating National Indigenous Peoples Day and Chén̓chenstway Food Forest’s second birthday!

We will have bannock & jam, fresh herbal tea prepared from the garden’s medicinal plants as well as coffee.

Hang out after you eat and make some crafts with us! We’ll have a table for making little orange t-shirts and red dresses for hanging in the garden.  

We’ll also have lots of native seeds harvested from the garden available for you to pack into envelopes and take home.

We hope to see you on Friday, June 21st from 10am to 12pm at 2050 Wall Street in so-called Oxford Park, on unceded Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, xʷməθkʷəy̓əm & səl̓ilwətaɁɬ territory.

There is an amazing National Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration happening right after at Grandview Park from 12-4pm (see poster in the Discussion section of this event listing). The Celebration March starts at 11am at 1719 Franklin Street so if you want to go to that then you can pick up some breakfast and take it with you to the march or eat before you go!
