First Nations/People’s Fundraiser (July 27 – 31)
UPDATE (Aug 01): We ended up raising $1,626.37 during this final week of July (donation receipts posted) which will be split three ways between the three organizations we will be donating to this weekend. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported us and our artists during this.
By participating with many of the artists on our roster earlier last month in raising money for BLM-related organizations, our next upcoming fundraiser goes down the final week of July (27 – 31st) where we’ll be donating all Bandcamp sales from said period (we cover Bandcamp/Paypal fees) to three local/regional organizations in our community: True North Aid, The Healing Of The Seven Generations, and O:se Kenhionhata:tie Land Back Camp. Three organizations that help First People locally and in the North of the province who are suffering the inter-generational impacts of growing up in dysfunctional families; emotional, physical, sexual, and spiritual abuses; loss of culture; lack of awareness of cultural identity, teachings, values, and traditions; poverty, and addictions. Also the donations to these organizations will help within the arts and crafts, medicines, cultural workshops and honorariums for Elders, essential practices that uphold aesthetic and spiritual resonance going back generations all while supporting racial justice and equality.
