Join us for an evening with Dr. Waters as she intertwines Western and Indigenous knowledge concerning the interconnections between human health and our environments. Shannon will relate her experiences and research as a family doctor, Medical Health Officer, and indigenous community member, guided by the Quw’utsun teachings:

Hwialasmut tu tumuhw.
Take care of this Earth.
________________
Mukw’ stem ‘l ‘utunu tumuhw, ‘o’ hulitun tst, mukw’ stem ‘i ‘utunu tumuhw ‘o’ slhiilhukw ‘ul.
Everything on this Earth is what sustains us; everything on this Earth is connected together.
