Act Now, Before It Is Too Late: Messages from Indigenous Elders | Council

As Traditional Messenger for the Unungan (Aleut) People, Ilarion Merculieff is tasked to share messages from Indigenous elders with the wider world, and to be a bridge from ancient into modern times. This session will focus on timely messages about what needs to be done now, as Mother Earth's life support systems are being pushed to the edge. Elders all over the world are calling us to act and to act now. This means everything we do is relevant, inside and out. How do we reconcile this with everyday life? What is relevant action, now? With: Ilarion Merculieff; Sharon Shay Sloan, council trainer and community steward. Note: This is not a standard council-style session.
