The webinar will be led by Maureen Vo and Peter Underwood and they will be joined by two inspiring guests.

Howard Humchitt is a member of the Heiltsuk First Nation currently living in Bella Bella, BC. He comes from a long line of hunters and fishers and started at a young age learning about the importance of seasons and hunting. For the past 12 years, Howard has been involved as a Raincoast team member, helping to conduct non-invasive bear research in the Great Bear Rainforest.

Sarah Jim is an emerging artist of mixed ancestry and is a member of the W̱SÁNEĆ nation from the Tseycum village. She holds a BFA from UVIC and conducts environmental restoration on her ancestral territory. Creating place-based artwork of her homelands and waters allows her to educate others about the importance of native plant food systems and coastal medicines in relation to the ecosystem and W̱SÁNEĆ culture.
