SUMMARY:Challenge to Civilization: Indigenous Wisdom & the Future -Blair Stonechild
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE EVENT \nOn Saturday\, February 3rd at 2pm (Vancouver time) join Massy Arts\, Massy Books and University of Regina Press for the launch of Challenge to Civilization: Indigenous Wisdom and the Future by Blair Stonechild with guest Jesse Archibald-Barber. \nThis project has been made possible by the Government of Canada. Ce projet a été rendu possible grâce au gouvernement du Canada. \nVenue & Accessibility \nThe event will be hosted online on zoom\, all listed times are in the Vancouver time zone. \nClosed captioning can be accessed via zoom. \nRegistration is free and required for entrance. \nAbout the book \nIn this final book of his trilogy\, Dr. Stonechild deftly illustrates how Indigenous spirituality\, wisdom\, and land-based knowledge is critical to human survival in the face of environmental destruction and human-induced climate change. Reinterpreting world history from an Indigenous perspective\, Stonechild’s solution to this unfolding catastrophe is “ecolization\,” a state in which humans recognize they are not the central purpose of creation and a way of existing harmoniously with the natural and spiritual worlds. \nBeautifully written\, urgent\, and critical\, Challenge to Civilization reminds us that it is not Earth that is in danger of extinction\, but ourselves\, and Indigenous spiritual wisdom can be the guiding light through what will otherwise be humanity’s final\, ever-darkening days. \nAbout the author \nBlair A. Stonechild is a member of the Muscowpetung First Nation in Saskatchewan. He is a residential school survivor and was the first faculty member hired at the First Nations University of Canada in 1976. He is an author of five previous books and lives in Regina with his wife Sylvia and three adult children. \nAbout the guest reader \nJesse Archibald-Barber is from oskana kâ-asastêki. He teaches Indigenous Literatures in English at the First Nations University of Canada\, specializing in Saskatchewan Indigenous literary history and early Indigenous literatures in Canada.
