[Iswg3906.organizers] Quick Update

[Indigenous Solidarity Working Group]

Hey everyone:

Sorry for not responding earlier, Jess, but I did receive the workshop
email a few days ago. I have now entered into the system to release it as
well as it was caught up due to the number of recipients. If you send out
the update email summarizing stuff for participants, which would be really
helpful, thank you, I will be quicker to make sure it gets released over
the email system. It can be quite confusing. I received an email about the
workshop but then saw that it was tied up in the system, so I'm not sure
what to make of it.

I am okay meeting anytime on Sunday and am fine meeting at the library. So
shall we say at 2 p.m. in the library?

Thanks for organizing the venue, Peter. Greatly appreciated and very
helpful. Artbar was officially booked up whenever I asked them.

I will be looking to set up the 'We Resist' Facebook-like page for us this
week so we can post our funding guidelines there. Sorry for the delay on
this.

One last note, below you will see an event happening on Mac on Monday the
25th of November in CIBC Hall. Pretty relevant to our ongoing discussion
about missing and murdered Native women in Canada. It just came into the
email system today.

Thanks,

Tony

Good day professors, faculty, and friends,

On Monday November 25th from 11:30 - 3pm, MSU's Diversity Services,
Indigenous Studies, and MFNSA are hosting an event on campus addressing the
violence against Indigenous Women in Canada. The purpose of this event is
to spark conversation about this important issue, and to draw together both
academic research and community grassroots services. To that end, we have
booked two dynamic McMaster speakers, Amber Dean and Bonnie Freeman, and
will be hosting a panel comprised of community service providers and
grassroots organizers to talk about the work being done on the ground. In
addition, these local service providers are offered an opportunity to host
an information booth to talk about their programs and services, to provide
links to these resources that may be accessed by those who need them.

I hope you will join us in this important conversation, and I have attached
the event poster to this email in case you would like to share this with
your students, colleagues, and friends.
Refreshments/a light lunch will be served.

Thank you for your consideration and ongoing support.

Sincerely,

Carrie McMullin
President, 2013-2014
