Join us for our April chapter meeting. We are pleased to announce that Paul Chiyokten Wagner will be our guest speaker.

Paul is a member of the Saanich Nation and founder of Protectors of the Salish Sea and the Tarpee housing project where he and volunteers built and gifted 47 Tarpees (indigenous structures) with wood stove heaters to indigenous families with elders at the Standing Rock resistance camps. To date 88 Tarpees have been gifted and utilized to help stop fossil fuel expansions. Chiyokten spoke alongside Jill Stein at the COP21 Paris Climate talks as well as organizing and participated in many Chase Bank divestment campaigns who are the number one investors in Tar Sands pipeline projects. He has launched numerous prayer walks for our Salish Sea and recently returned from 4 months on the frontlines at Fairy Creek protecting old growth forest ecosystems. Chiyokten is an award winning Native American flutist and storyteller, sharing the ancient teachings of Coast Salish ancestors and the Circle of Life.

Come out for an informative and friendly discussion about the place we live and love, and how each of us can help to improve it. We meet on the second Thursday of every month, to share our work and how you can get involved. Each meeting typically will have a guest speaker so stay tuned for topics of interest. We will also have other fun updates including upcoming beach cleanups and events. Our meetings are open to the public.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING LOCATION: For COVID-19 safety reasons, we will be hosting this event OUTDOORS on the patio of The Valley and will be following all current Pierce County guidelines.
