By
Katherine Dodds
Dear Friends! Please support ‘Picturing Transformation, Nexw-áyantsut’ book. (Published by Figure 1 Publishing, Fall 2013) consider becoming a sponsor! 
We are so close now to this book coming to life! We've done the substantive editing, all the photos have been selected and the design is about to begin!
Now there's just one more thing... We need to raise $25,000 from sponsorship to print the book.
We are seeking 2- 4 major sponsors for 5-10K, and 10 sponsors at 2K. Can you, or do you know of someone who can help us? If so please suggest them to us and we'll send a proposal package to them! email Kdodds@HelloCoolWorld.com if you can help us find sponsors.
All those who contribute at this level, will be given logo space on our sponsors page.
If you yourself are unable to help as a sponsor consider pre-buying the book now at the special price of $29.95 (it will retail for $39.95 when it comes out in October.
Bulk Pre-Sales
• We are offering the bulk pre-sales of the book at $18/each, minimum QTY 100 if pre-bought by May 15, 2013. The book will retail at $39.95.
Donor Rewards and ROI
All donors will be credited in the book. Community partners will be credited with a logo and short statement about their organization/project, with logos and links on our website, and will be acknowledged in social media promotion, including with a logo on our book trailer. We could discuss potential additional promotion for the higher end donors in our future digital extensions (videos and blogs showcasing additional material and excerpts from the book).
Book Cover
View Book Trailer at www.Utsam-Witness.ca. (Note that it will be re-edited to reflect updated publishing information and major sponsors).
Why Now?
Over the coming months through the promotion of the forthcoming book, together we have a unique opportunity to re-engage the Uts’am community and to connect this work to ongoing important and urgent dialogues over environmental protection and First Nations land issues in Canada. The promotion of this book could in itself be a catalyst to get support for like-minded projects. With a full partnership at the top end of the sponsorship scale, there could be an opportunity to bring the Uts’am Ceremony to relevant community events.
This website will be revamped as the book launch approaches, gathering stories from past Witness participants, linking the project to ongoing movements around the environment and First Nations Land. The website will also showcase the ongoing new work done around the project, in particular the carving process for the final Cedar woman figure in the house post style by Squamish Nation carver Aaron Nelson-Moody/ Tawx’sin Yxwulla/ Poolxtun from his Cedar Woman series, which began when Witness launched.
All of this will help drive pre-sales of the book, and generate investment funding in funding future phases of the project including the photographic exhibitions.
We are open to other mutually beneficial collaborations with our sponsors especially around the creation of the digital extensions and in revisiting the Uts’am community to engage around the issues in the book!
Thank you!
