Spring Into Action
These territories give us all so much, let's show our gratitude by giving back in the spirit of community, music, celebration, learning and sharing.
It's that time of year, when everything is waking up and the world feels more alive. A perfect reminder from nature for us to "Spring into Action". Dig into those grass roots, cross-pollinate those amazing ideas, sprout some new projects and flower into beautiful new ways of being.
Resistance Rising Choir invites you to join us for a very special evening on the territory of the Lekwungen speaking peoples, as we come together in support of land and cultural reclamation for Coast Salish Youth.

XWAAQW'UM VILLAGE - Q'ULUM' (Youth Camps)
Xwaaqwum hosts week-long camps for indigenous youth, led by Quwutsun Elders, knowledge keepers and other indigenous leaders. These youth camps provide a unique opportunity for indigenous youth to learn about Hulquminum culture and teachings in a natural environment through land and culture based activities. These past activities included potlucks, storytelling sessions, camas planting, plant medicine walks, nettle rope building , an intertidal study, clam garden restoration and other environmental restoration efforts.

PROJECT RECLAIM:
A portion of the funds will also provide garden tools and native plants for Project Reclaim. Project Reclaim empowers youth from the Tsartlip Nation to lead their community in healing, resisting, and preventing violence through youth-led land restoration and culturally relevant violence prevention curricula in local schools.
