in Montreal in December, holding a collective
Wayfinders Circle event as well as side events
where members shared examples of guardianship
of their territories.
Nia Tero’s Storytelling team began film production
of seven Wayfinders Circle portrait films, to be
completed in 2023, to share examples of culture
and guardianship of territory. In addition, over the
summer of 2022, Nia Tero’s Seedcast podcast
team produced a beautiful two-part episode
with the Gabbra People of East Africa.
Lastly, two new members—the Lhoba of Nepal
and the community of Hin Lad Nai in Thailand—
were welcomed into the Wayfinders Circle in
2022, with Hin Lad Nai from Thailand attending
our Ecuador gathering. A third new member
will be finalized in 2023.
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Wayfinders is connecting—
connecting sky, earth, water.
You know, our spirit lives among those
things, because when we pass on
and go into the other lives, these are
things that will be connected and will
be liberating…To work together, live
together, and learn from each other…
is our only hope.
