Who are the Suzuki Elders?
The Association of Suzuki Elders is a group of self-identified elders from the Vancouver area who work as volunteers with and through the David Suzuki Foundation. We bring our voices, experiences, and memories to mentor, motivate and support other elders and younger generations in dialogue and action on environmental issues. Our current focus is on climate change. Suzuki Elders listen, learn, share and act through educating, communicating, connecting and advocacy.
As described on their website (http://www.wakantankafilm.com/), "Wakan Tanka is a creative and innovative non-profit documentary film that features environmental and Indigenous Elders as they bring their heartfelt message to humankind about our relationship with our planet." The short promo film below expresses many of the concerns, values, and hopes of the Suzuki Elders. Consider joining us and helping to address the important environmental challenges we now face.
