Ms.Panik - Haida, fem-powered, loop-driven, hip-hop for the soul

Tawahum Bige - Lutselk'e Dene and Plains Cree, anti-oppression spoken word artist and land defender

Ellie Green - Emerging youth poet from Saltspring Island

and Keynote Speaker Patricia Dawn of the Red Willow Womyn’s Society

In addition to this stellar line-up the event includes a silent auction featuring unique items, exciting raffle prizes, and a fabulous bake sale including vegan and gluten free options.

50% of the events net income will go to support the work of the Red Willow Womyn’s Society

Founded in 2009, by a small group of Coast Salish women, The Red Willow Womyn’s Society is a grassroots Indigenous nonprofit organization that acts to support indigenous mothers in navigating daily barriers as well as providing online advocacy to help strengthen families, prevent child apprehension, and honour the role of mothers as sacred life-givers.
