SUNDAY OCT. 27TH. 1:30 PM

You are cordially invited to attend a special presentation this Sunday, October 27th at 1:30 pm in Evergreen's Longhouse Learning Center. 

Last summer students from the Muckleshoot Nation visited the indigenous community of Mariankari Bajo in Peruvian Central Amazonia. The Mariankari Bajo community is one of the 400 villages that form the Ashaninka Nation in Peru.  This is a historic trip because it marks the beginning of cultural exchange between Indigenous Nations of the Americas.

This report will be presented by members of the International Travel Module from Reservation-based and Respect programs. Our Module has the main objective of writing the proper documentation to set up the first exchanges and prepare a group of Evergreen students who will be part of the second group to travel to Peru next summer, this time as part of an exchange.  We are working to construct an online newsletter where people in general will learn about the academic programs in Evergreen that are making these events possible, the participating Indigenous Nations, the possibility to expand the exchanges with more Indigenous Nations, and more.

Please join us for the presentation if you can.  If you have any questions, write to Raul Nakasone at nakasonr@evergreen.edu.  

Best Wishes,
The Internation Travel Module
