AMAZON AYMARA-JAMAMADI-APURNA ELDER, WISDOM KEEPER YOKA-HATHA, ROBERTO ZUAZO

February 2013, Yoka Hatha, Roberto Zuazo has published the first of his Jungle Boy series of 20 books, called The Boy Who Spoke to the Birds. These stories are a compilation of Roberto's cultural heritage.   I recently went to his book launch at Coop des bons voisins in Pointe-Claire village.

Roberto came to Canada 25 years ago as a refugee for threats against his life from his work as an indigenous representative exposing Brazil's massive Hydro, Mining, Logging & exploitation of resources from his Aymara-Jamamadi-Apurina people's territory along the Amazon. Here is an audio interview with Ryan Young on the Eco-librium program of CKUT FM 90.3.  I've known Roberto for seven years or so since meeting him with Algonquin elder William Commanda near Ottawa.  His  stories, of which I've read about eight, hold powerful teachings about life & consciousness, yet are as easy to understand as if meant for adolescents.  The stories are as powerful as the African Greek author Aesop's Fables.

Listen here to this Tuesday 19 February 2013 interview on Montreal FM radio CKUT of Aymara-Jamamadi-Apurina elder Roberto Zuazo for deeper sides of being human in a 3-D biosphere of intense bio-diversity.  Ryan Young's interview of Roberto starts about 8 minutes into the recording but you might as well enjoy the song 'Blowin in the wind' & other music.  http://archives.ckut.ca/128/20130219.11.00-12.00.mp3

Roberto's Boy who spoke to the Birds is being used as course curriculum in a number of classes at John Abbott College convened by English professor Ann Beer.

CKUT Eco-librium radio 90.3 FM talk show interview November 2011, 35 minutes long. http://archives.ckut.ca/64/20111122.11.00-12.00.mp3

Host Ryan Young's excellent interview with Roberto.  My perspective on Roberto's work after these over two years of reading his books, talking and visiting with each other is  that; he is speaking and writing to very common human issues in clear easy to understand language.  Average people can strongly identify with what Roberto is saying because he is constantly bringing the environment back to our understandings about family, personal focus and human relations.  Roberto is rare among environmental speakers and writers for clearly drawing the lines between these personal issues and environment.  Roberto's Jungle Boy series of books lay an easy to understand foundation for their readers about the intricacy of nature.  When the first of fifteen books (presently in electronic and paper form), 'The Boy Who Spoke to the Birds' is available published this January 2012 school session it will be of great interest to a wide audience.  I believe that CBC radio, family, community and social sciences and practitioners will be interested in hearing this 35 minute interview.  Ryan asks all the right questions with Roberto, which the greater part of the population are hungry to hear. 

HOUSE-of-DIALOGUE (Greek ‘dia’ = ‘across’ + ‘legein’ = ‘speak’ as well as ‘logos’ = ‘knowledge’)

This Friday 1st July, Jardins LaSalle ‘Dialogos', house of dialogue will open at 9662 Jean-Milot, LaSalle-Montreal, H8R 1X9 corner of rue Bergevin.  We’ve leased a townhouse with 1350 square feet divided between a basement and two floors as a home residence, the development of a community animation team for the purpose of animating community intergenerational multiple talents for livelihood and sustainability.  Our phone 514-365-9594 installed.  If you are interested in joining the work or being part of the residence, then please send an email.

BOTH-SIDES-NOW  https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/structure/1-both-sides-now-article

Both-Sides-Now, Recorded Equal Time Dialogues will chronicle the diverse and complementary visions we are each hold  Those of you who are interested in community economic development animation and relational economy might be interested to rent as part of the household or in another of the LaSalle-Garden’s community dwellings.  There are a number of families from Jardins LaSalle involved over many years and we hope to attract others who share this community spirit.  The property is owned by a private corporation Turret Realties.  Our Human Resource Catalogue approach is to work with communities and corporations to augment the strengths of both with added value.

LASALLE-GARDENS  https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/relational-economy/extending-our-welcome-participatory-multi-home-cohousing

Some of you are familiar with LaSalle-Gardens as 2000 people living in 700 apartments and 50 townhouses on a 33 acre property.  The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation 1955 construction is a 1950s Olmstead inspired but sparsely achieved ‘garden-city’ concept of peripheral roads allowing for 1/3rd the number of streets in similar populations as in the rest of Montreal.  Where streets normally lie are park-lands on most sides of the buildings.  Some one hundred maples and pines were planted over the past 45 years today reaching 50 foot heights and a partial photosynthesis based cooling effect and absorption of snow and rains.  A group of 108 Habitations Loyer Modique HLM with 600 people on an adjacent 6 – 7 acre property just across rue des-Oblats form a continuous part of the neighbourhood.  These properties are bound by the Lachine Canal bike path south on St-Patrick, sunken Whiskey Trench 138 highway to the Mercier car bridge and the train tracks to the train bridge across to ‘Kahnawake’ (Mohawk means ‘on-the-rapids’) as well as the roads of Wanklyn (south) Clement (north), Bergevin (west), Jean-Milot (middle) and des-Oblats (east).

PERMACULTURE

9662 Jean-Milot townhouse faces south along an east west string of townhouses with space for gardens on the south west and north sides.  Twenty-five trees have been planted nearby with Apple, Cherry, Pear, Plums (a couple of varieties), Crab-apple, Korean-pine-nut, Spruce (spring bud greens) and Maple (for maple sap and nuts).  Around the trees are planted grapes, blackberry, raspberry, currents, strawberry, lily, spearmint, peppermint, shallots, garlic, hollyhock, rhubarb, lambsquarter and other perennial gardens protected by the leaf canopy enjoy extended fall frost protection.  On the south-east corner of the property across train tracks lies a community garden (mostly annuals) extending all the way from Wanklyn street to the river 800 metres x 25 metres along Cherry Lane to LaSalle boulevard.  Two blocks east behind Clement school (adult-education) is a collective garden of 20 x 25 metres operated with Nutri-centre.

BELONGING

As many of you realise, permaculture requires long-term stewardship, belonging and community ownership in order for human culture and perennials to mature and produce within human nurturing, monitoring, harvest and pleasure.  Indigenous multihome (Longhouse, pueblo etc) traditions around the world provide individual and family privacy as well as autonomy.  Humans as social creatures require critical numbers interacting, working, recognising and living together in collective-intelligence to achieve sustainability.  Collective intelligence requires recognition of individual contributions, investment and stewardship through accounting and progressive ownership from youth to elder such as indigenous Production Societies represent and string-shell time-based accounting facilitated.

ASSET BASED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ECONOMY ABCDE

Indigene Community’s approach is to stimulate ‘economic’ (Greek ‘oikos’ = ‘home’ + ‘namein’ = ‘management’ from ‘manus’ = ‘hand’ or ‘care and nurture’) interaction among individual strengths through a Human Resource Catalogue posted on line on a website Bon Voisinage LaSalle-Heights Good Neighbourhood http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_197760453583931 with human resource time-based accounting among Founder, Worker, Supplier and Consumer stakeholders.  As residents interact domestically and benefit from each other’s ‘gifts’, form specialised teams of professional expertise, then energy and money are recirculated as a resource for community employment and ownership. The local e-Bay empowers, recycles and stimulates local business development.  2600 residents plus others who will become involved from the larger city and region represent some 22,500,000$ of earning and spending per year (low income) which can be even tripled within a Community Investment & Exchange  System https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/relational-economy

RELATIONAL ECONOMY VISION

Some in the group envision:  Community kitchen/dining, orchard gardening, composting, green-house, food processing, Green Design technology, research and development, building-mounted linear axis wind, passive and active solar, ergonomic bicycles, Computer, bicycle, clothes, appliance repair specialists, Laundromats, Child-elder-handicapped-able-body mutual-aid care, investment, apprenticeship programs etc.  Visit various sections of Indigene Community website for details.

PRIORITIES

Our priority task is to collect skill descriptions from individuals, business, products and services presently offered which represent a small version of the waited-for catalogue in order to present these to the mayor's office on the 10th November.  SVP send to this email address, descriptions of services and goods which you wish to offer on the website of the Human Resource Catalogue.  All those present and those interested are welcome to send in a description and to attend the 10th.

MERIT BASED PARTICIPATION

The nature of the Catalogue project and the LaSalle-Gardens Mutual Aid organization presently as part of Indigene Community, a chapter of the Sustainable Development Corporation, a Canadian Non-Profit corporation since 1994 were discussed.  Reference was made to Indigenous traditions around the world in Production Societies, Multi-home living (apartment and townhouse-like) and other integrated aspects of these essential service economies.  The etymology link between sharing and corporate 'social-shares'.   The Asset Based Community Development ABCD Institute and other non-profit organizations using strength based approaches were considered.  How strength based contribution, recognition and motivation translates into 'ratios' was discussed along with the 'caucusing' (Iroquois = 'grouping of like-interests) of strengths into specialized Production Societies, voting by ratios in these  were considered under the present Indigene Community and Sustainable Development Corporation charter.

RATEABLE NON-PROFIT CORPORATIONS

Non-Profit law provision for 'rateable' contributions and the representation of these 'loans' of time, money, goods, services, property etc. to the group as 'ratios' were discussed.  We considered the difference between typical 'deficit' based (needs, wants, deficiencies, poverty, illiteracy etc) based non-profits and 'strength' based (skills, talents, goods, services, businesses, education, dreams, capacities, networks etc) essential service oriented non-profits.   How community strengths provide a foundation for sustainably meeting needs was presented and discussed.  A comparison of deficit and strength non-profit funding.

PARTICIPATORY CORPORATIONS

Participatory progressive ownership for-profit corporations is similar to such advanced For-Profit corporations as the Keiretsu (eg,Toyota) of Japan, the Chaebol (eg. Daewoo Motors) of Korea, Associative Economics of Europe and such as Tembec Forest Products, Dofasco Steel, Tom's of Maine Toothpaste, Ben & Jerry's Icecream and other for profit corporations using forms of Time-based human resource accounting. 

INCORPORATION ALTERATIONS

A new participant considering membership, raised a discussion on the option of establishing a separate Board of Directors for LaSalle-Garden's Mutual Aid Committee, as part of or distinct from Indigene Community or the Sustainable Development Corporation?  As this participant was unfamiliar with the present constitution it is advisable that he review the present incorporation statutes available on www.indigenecommunity.info  and as a member to make clear propositions, arrange discussions, schedule, content and decision-making structure and achieve corporate assent in order to achieve this.  Such questions are considered step by step under the present constitution as our social-economic contract is always open to group transformation.  As an example of the many options included in the present constitution is for Both Sides Now Equal Time Recorded Dialogues  for research or as a fair dispute resolution technique and dialectic right for all member participants.

COMMUNICATIONS

Presently emails are confidential as bcc.  Those who wish to openly share their emails in c/c open email with the group for exchanges should inform me.
