Hey!

I often hear about this article, titled, "Where was the colour in Seattle," specifically referring to people of colour and the anti-globalization movement:
http://colours.mahost.org/articles/martinez.html

Also, there was a really good article in a recent issue of Briarpatch magazine:

green is not the only colour
by Beenash Jafri & Karen Okamoto
Two activists reflect on the state of anti-racist environmentalism in Canada.

The link seems to be broken on their website, but if you email the editor, Dave Oswald Mitchell, I am sure he's send you a copy: editor@briarpatchmagazine.com

No problem. I often can't remember people's names after meeting them the first (or second) time, but I have this freakish ability to remember bibliographic references from articles I read years ago ...

Another good reference might be Karl Flecker. He is the anti-racism coordinator at the Canadian Labour Congress, and he facilitated a workshop at Concordia many years ago about people of colour and the anti-globalization movement ...

i remember ellen gabriel of kahnesatake gave a good talk on "the oka crisis" at an environmental racism conference in toronto a few years ago. she was really good, perhaps googling her.

what about talking about indigenous technologies and how globalization is effecting the world to the point that one of these days we are going to need to have knowlege of indigenous technologies in order to save the planet and ourselves

Hey Indri,

sorry to write this in your livejournal! I just don't have any other contact info for you.

I'm working with the sierra youth coalition to help organise their winter gathering this year. We're set on having an anti-oppression for the group (14-19 year olds, probably 10-20 participants) and I remember your workshop you did for YEN and really loved it.

Would you be interested at all? The retreat is running from March 13-15. I forgot to ask about honorariums but I can get back to you on that for sure.

If you want to get in touch with me you can e-mail me at mallory.delarge at gmail. com
