an art auction to benefit the Native Women's
Shelter</font><br><font color="#663366">...............................................</font>
<br><br><font color="#4b1f6f">For our 3rd annual art auction, the
</font><font color="#4b1f6f"><b>Ste-Emilie Skillshare</b></font><font color="#4b1f6f">
would like to recognize the front-line work of the </font><font color="#4b1f6f"><b>Native
Women's Shelter</b></font><font color="#4b1f6f">. Every hour of every
day, they support women and families that must constantly deal with
the ramifications of an on-going colonization. Until recently, the
Shelter offered cultural healing through the Aboriginal Healing
Foundation. The 2010 federal budget, however, cancelled the funding
to the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, closing this project and over
one-hundred others from coast to coast. <br><br>In the past, our
auctions have benefited the </font><font color="#4b1f6f"><b>Tyendinaga
Legal Defense Fund</b></font><font color="#4b1f6f">, the </font><font color="#4b1f6f"><b>Olympics
Resistance Network </b></font><font color="#4b1f6f">and the </font><font color="#4b1f6f"><b>Forum
Against Police Brutality</b></font><font color="#4b1f6f">, three
campaign-oriented groups. This year, we would like to highlight the
critical role direct-support work can play in our movements. The
Native Women's Shelter is a perfect example of how people can survive
and struggle together.<br><br></font><font color="#4b1f6f"><i>Artists
and non-Artists:</i></font><font color="#4b1f6f"><br>We are asking
for donations of art (and non-art) in any format. We prefer work with
an anti-colonial or Indigenous sovereigntist message, but anything
that is aligned with Ste-Emilie's mandate of anti-oppression and
self-representation is much much appreciated.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.2in"><font color="#4b1f6f"><i><br>Community
organizations:</i></font><font color="#4b1f6f"><br>If your membership
or participants would like to contribute somehow, please get in
touch. We would be happy to organize workshops with you at Ste-Emilie
or your own space.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font color="#4b1f6f">The auction will
take place </font><font color="#4b1f6f"><b>Friday, May 6th</b></font><font color="#4b1f6f">.
Net proceeds from the auction go directly to the Shelter.<br><br>To
submit a piece of art or a proposal or for more information, please</font></p><font color="#4b1f6f">surf:
