Talk Topic:
Join Native Plant Study Group for a meandering adventure of the beauty of native plants, W̱SÁNEĆ culture, language revitalization, community care, the importance of showing up, and practicing environmental restoration. Sarah's talks are full of tangents, mini stories, and reverence for the land and everything within it. Bring an open mind, open heart, and as many questions as you can think of! Participation is welcomed and encouraged :)

Speaker Bio:
Sarah Jim is a visual artist from the W̱S͸ḴEM village in W̱SÁNEĆ with mixed ancestry that includes Coast Salish, Mexican, English, and Russian-Jewish. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Victoria and has worked in the environmental restoration field since 2018. Her art practice explores themes of Indigenous land sovereignty, cultural resurgence, interconnectivity, native plants, and coastal medicines. Advocation for the land through depictions of ethnobotanical representation is the focal point of Sarah’s work. Along with contributing to her community through artwork and land-based healing with the W̱S͸ḴEM Ivy Project, and formerly the PEPÁKEṈ HÁUTW̱ Foundation, she is now pursuing Indigenous language revitalization through the W̱SENĆOŦENIST Program at the W̱SÁNEĆ College. All of these pursuits are to reflect, honour, and care for the beautiful land, sea, and skies that the W̱SÁNEĆ have stewarded since time immemorial.

The Native Plant Study Group respectfully acknowledges that we gather on the unceded territory of the Lekwungen Peoples, with W̱SÁNEĆ connections. We are a garden group with a strong interest in gardening with native plants for their aesthetic, intrinsic, and conservation values. We gratefully recognize the longstanding stewards of these plants and ecosystems, as well as their cultural significance.

We encourage a safe and respectful space for everyone to learn along with us in our individual and collective pathways of decolonization.
