August 31, 2018
8:30 am - 2:30 pm
Join us for a fun, outdoor educational experience in how to successfully navigate relations with Aboriginal parents, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, community members and students. Come out for a full day of education and discussion regarding the nature of traditional First Nations Laws. In order for one to understand any people, one must understand their laws. This workshop takes complex, intercultural differences and breaks them down into
comprehensive perspectives and culturally relevant, hands on practices successfully demonstrating our respect to people of Indigenous backgrounds.
All our workshops take place outside and are taught directly by an Aboriginal educator.

To find us:
We are located at 4615 Passmore Upper Rd.in the Slocan Valley. Follow Highway 6 towards Nakusp/Winlaw from the Junction. Go past the Slocan Park Co-op and turn left onto Passmore Upper Rd. Cross the silver bridge and continue straight (the road turns to gravel) to the end of the road where you will see a Y intersection. The left turns into a logging road so keep right where you see a “No Through Road” sign and follow down the windy road (there are a few blind corners so use your horn to let oncoming traffic know you’re coming!) the road will come to a straight stretch and about 1.5 km along you will see a large straw bale- timber frame house with a green roof and large reflective numbers on the left. We are 4.5 km from the highway. You are here!
