How are you currently involved in the Transition?

As an ally who is working quite intimately with the Swinomish community interest group ~ Climate Change Education and Awareness Group. Seeking networks and collaboration.

In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?

The Swinomish tribe published a Climate Change Impact Assessment report in December 2009. The report is posted on the tribe's website. The Swinomish tribe and surrounding townships are the second highest risk for sea level rise in the State.

Do you have particular interests, skills, talents or resources you would like to bring to Transition Whatcom?

Indigenous knowledge and traditional ways of connecting back to our cultural teachings and values.

In what neighborhood or part of the county do you reside?

On the border of Skagit and Island Counties.
