DATE: DEC 7-8, 2013

TIME: 10:00 AM-5:00 PM

LOCATION: WABANAKI RESOURCE CENTRE, SIR JAMES DUNN HALL, ST. THOMAS UNIVERSITY, FREDERICTON, NB, CANADA
The battle over dwindling resources has caused aggressive attacks on Indigenous Rights and these workshops will provide the practical skills to create strong and effective Indigenous Rights movements.

Part One: Principles of Non-Violence

Peace activist, author, and educator Paul K. Chappell will discuss how to incorporate principles of nonviolence into the movement. He is the author of the Road to Peace, a seven-book series about waging peace, ending war, the art of living, and what it means to be human. His work is based on his personal experience, military training, and research into myths that perpetuate war. He lectures and teaches college courses and workshops on peace leadership.

Part Two: Strategies for Building Unified Movements

Attorney Sherri Mitchell will suggest strategies for building strong, effective and unified movements. She’s been an advocate for Indigenous Rights for two decades, working to protect the rights of her own tribe and those of Indigenous peoples across the Americas. Among many roles, she serves as legal advisor to the Indigenous Elders and Medicine Peoples Council of North America and is Executive Director of the Land Peace Foundation.
