Join us for lunch hour learning!
On Wednesday, February 15, with Sa’ke’j Henderson discuss his book, Protecting Indigenous Knowledge and Heritage: A Global Challenge. This session, part of the Learning with Syeyutsus Speaker Series, will be shown in the South Cowichan Library in the Mill Bay Centre. Bring a lunch! Hot tea will be provided.
We are excited to learn from Sa’ke’j Henderson about a number of important topics ranging from what constitutes Indigenous knowledge and who may use it; the importance of preserving Indigenous languages; how knowledge is transmitted in Indigenous communities; issues in performing arts and artwork; and proposals for creating a legal regime that will help revive and protect Indigenous knowledge and require consent for its use.

This speaker series, now in its third season, is organized in partnership by the Nanaimo Ladysmith School District and UBC Press. It is sponsored by Vancouver Island Regional Library.
