Picturing Transformation, Nexw-áyantsut: The Trailer: version 1

By Katherine Dodds

We have just released the trailer (version 1)! Book pre-sales to support the project are available on the Hello Cool World webstore.

Please give us your feedback on the book trailer as we plan to create a final version soon. We wanted to get this one up in time for the Bioneers Conference. A few years ago Chief Bill Willams and Nancy Bleck  presented on the Uts'am/Witness Project at Bioneers, the conference has a strong indigenous presence — featured this year in their indigeneity Program.

Hello Cool World, who is helping to create the digital extensions, and set up the pre-sales is currently at Bioneers seeking a sponsor/funder to support the printing of the book in Canada (not China!) with eco-friendly materials. In order to keep the cost of buying the book accessible to all, we want to raise this money to subsidize the printing. Anyone who can help contact kdodds@hellocoolworld.com.On the book creation front — We are very excited to begin a year of fundraising, movement building, and community re-engagement,  as we edit the book with the editor and art director at D & M. it's a very exciting process. We also hope that this will catayze a new phase of Uts'am, as it takes a new direction as a project, and continues to be a transformational process!

Please Join us!

And if you were part of the Uts'am Witness weekends, during the 10 years it was running - please comment on this blog and tell us your story.

Being called to “witness” in the Coast Salish tradition is a sacred honour.

Bearing witness by a “hired” Speaker carries responsibilities and duty.

As a witness, they are to listen and watch the “work” that is going to take place.

They are to carry the message back to their home community.

If, in the future, or at any time in their life, there is a concern over what took place,

they, as witnesses,

have to recall what they have heard and seen with regard to the event.
