Meet the Interns

By Jaegar Hartwig, Multimedia Coordinator

Pacific Peoples’ Partnership has taken on three new interns for the summer, and they couldn’t be more excited to help with all the important work that we’ve got planned for the coming months! 

 All of our interns are post-secondary students who will be returning to their education in the fall, and in the meantime, have brought their individual talents and skills together to begin the process of organizing our various events and activities. Their job duties involve the planning and promotion of our annual One Wave Gathering that will occur in September, as well as facilitating other events and projects that PPP is involved with, such as the Climate Connect planned for this Fall  in Victoria, or preparing content for our next issue of Pasifik Currents. Our interns are looking forward to the challenges that await them, and the experience that they will gain from their positions. Pacific Peoples’ Partnership is very excited about the newest additions to our team, and we can’t wait to see what they do with the opportunity. If you’d like to learn more about our interns, or the rest of PPP’s Team, you can read their bios on our website!

 Want to be involved like our interns? You can sign our volunteer form and begin supporting the Peoples of the Pacific region today! Other ways to be involved? Do you like the impact of our work across the South Pacific? We are always accepting generous donors, your support is greatly appreciated. Please email our Team at info@archive.pacificpeoplespartnership.org if you have any other questions!

Pacific Peoples’ Partnership Featured Partner: British Columbia Council for International Cooperation (BCCIC)

August 16, 2019 by April Ingham

The British Columbia Council for International Cooperation (BCCIC) is a network that engages in sustainable development and social justice issues. This is a membership-based organization made up of interested individuals, international development organizations and practitioners, and civil society organizations in British Columbia, Canada.

Pacific Peoples’ Partnership was a founding member of BCCIC since its creation in 1989.  To this date we deeply value the work of this organization as it benefit so many! Recently we worked together to realize the Longhouse Dialogues from May 31 – June 5th in Vancouver, BC as part of the Women Deliver Mobilization Canada side events, and PPP is actively engaged in their regional Southern Vancouver Island Chapter (SOVI), which is a network of individuals and organizations focused on international development and connections to the local community here on Southern Vancouver Island.  

Through SOVI, people come together to learn, create relationships, and share their knowledge on global social issues and the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 

Consider joining or supporting BCCIC or SOVI today!

RedTide Indigenous Youth Climate Connect

July 22, 2019 by April Ingham

A New 4-day Interactive Workshop!

Pacific Peoples’ Partnership is proud to announce that, in collaboration with ECO Canada and with the support of the Royal Bank of Canada Foundation, we are presenting a brand new interactive training program in 2019 that will support the RedTide 2020 Climate Action Summit being held on Vancouver Island!

This brand new Climate Connect program will run daily in October 16-20th (tentative) for Indigenous youth ages 16 + in the Greater Victoria area.  The program will be facilitated by Eli Enns, and feature special Guests including Elders, Climate Experts, and Ocean Network Canada Indigenous educators. Participants will also receive ECO Canada issued certificates and eligible graduates of this program may qualify for a new Wage Subsidy program, meaning your Employer could receive up to $15,000 to subsidize your environmental job position thanks to our partner ECO Canada!

 

Our goal is to increase climate literacy and inspire agency for Indigenous youth to become the next wave of change makers through clean technology, green entrepreneurship, creative arts, and cultural practice. With the help of amazing certified instructors and spiritual leaders, youth will learn through a cultural and scientific lens about local and traditional perspectives, aiding the understanding of the interconnected factors of climate change. This program also includes a field trip to the T’Sou-ke Nation, where the youth will get to see how water plays such an important role in the interconnectedness of climate change. 

There are a maximum of 15 participants for this program, so if this sounds like something you would be interested in then please contact info@archive.pacificpeoplespartnership.org, or fill out this form and reserve your spot before they’re gone!

One Wave Gathering 2019 Planning and Preparations are Underway!

May 30, 2019 by April Ingham

Bradley Dick of Songhees Nation and Ake Lianga from the Solomon Islands will work together on creating the Pacific Peace House Post.

PPP is proud to announce that planning and preparations are underway for the 2019 One Wave Gathering, set to take place from September 9 – 30, 2019. Mark your calendar and plan to attend some exciting and thought-provoking events. 

Key events include a digital media art exhibition and film screenings at MediaNet Flux Gallery; a Pacific Indigenous Artist Talk at Alcheringa Gallery; special guest speaker and cultural presentation at First Peoples House at the University of Victoria; and our signature community event at Centennial Square on September 14th.  We are also delighted to share the news that work is underway on the collaboration and creation of a Pacific Peace House Post to mark the ongoing legacy of our connections across the Pacific!

The Pacific Peace House Post will be jointly created by Bradley Dick of Songhees Nation and Ake Lianga from the Solomon Islands.  Each are tasked to bring their own teachings, cultures and art forms together to build a symbolic carving that honours the historic and contemporary connections between Indigenous peoples and the diverse peoples of the South Pacific.  Both Bradley and Ake will be working with the support of their cultural mentors and communities as they create this symbolic artwork, made from an 8-foot red cedar log that was skinned and hollowed out by Songhees Carver Tom La Fortune.

The red cedar Peace Post log is peeled and prepared for carving to begin!

Following their cultural and creative preparations, Bradley and Ake will soon begin working within the Songhees Carving shed in the months leading up to our One Wave Gathering.  Periodic open houses will be announced for drop-in sessions to meet the carvers and see the progress.  Please watch our social media for notices or drop us an email and we will keep you informed.  The house post will then be installed and dedicated on Saturday September 21st on the International Day of Peace on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Esquimalt region.

PPP offers our heartfelt thanks to our confirmed 2019 One Wave Key Partners and Contributors: the Government of Canada, Province of British Columbia, Victoria Foundation, City of Victoria, Township of Esquimalt, Capital Regional District, MediaNet, Alcheringa Gallery, University of Victoria – CIRCLE & Indigenous Studies, and of course, to the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations for their incredible ongoing support, friendship and guidance.

Want to be involved?  Whether you would like to volunteer, participate as an artist or promote your NGO, One Wave Gathering welcomes you!  Please email our Team at info@archive.pacificpeoplespartnership.org.

Pacific Peoples’ Partnership Featured Partner: Royal Bank of Canada

May 30, 2019 by April Ingham

The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) has recently provided a generous environmental donation of $20,000 to Pacific Peoples’ Partnership (PPP). PPP is thrilled to partner with RBC in moving towards United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action.

 In 2017, RBC achieved one of their most ambitious commitments ever: the RBC Blue Water Project. This is a 10-year global charitable commitment of $50 million to help provide access to drinkable, swimmable, fishable water, now and for future generations. As they look towards the future, RBC will continue to support water initiatives, and expand their focus to include climate action and support organizations like PPP.

PPP’s Climate Action Program for Indigenous Youth is being piloted in the summer of 2019 in the Victoria Capital Regional District in partnership with ECO Canada and RBC. This pilot will be delivered as a 4-day workshop with climate action curriculum for 15 Indigenous youth. If you would like to get involved and/or apply to attend, please email info@archive.pacificpeoplespartnership.org or Rachel Wang rachel@evoke-creatives.com. A full update about the workshop will appear in the next edition of our newsletter.   

Among other valuable legacies, this Climate Action Program for Indigenous Youth will provide a foundation and input for the 2020 RedTide: International Indigenous Climate Action Summit & Youth Conference being co-hosted by PPP on Vancouver Island.
