Summer 2022 Community Engagement- W̱SÍKEM (Tseycum)
Over the summer, our SIIA team was grateful for all the Craft and Social evenings they were able to host in W̱SÍKEM. Despite the small gathering space available, we consistently witnessed a large number of community members come out to join us!
In following our teachings, we always made sure each person in attendance was well fed (shout out to Mary Jones for all the wonderful meals!) and and taken care of. We also are reminded of how important it is for community members to have something to do with their hands while having discussions. So many beautiful crafts and conversations came out of these nights!
