How do we ensure that the solutions we put forward do not perpetuate the imbalances and inequalities that got us into this mess? Power, Privilege & Oppression are the water that we swim in. As such, they can be hard to see. Decolonization is the process of removing our blind spots in regard to these systems and narratives.
Together we'll explore the concept of "decolonization" and how to untangle ourselves from the destructive systems in which we live. Then we'll unpack the "just transition" framework, a positive vision for the future that unites social and environmental justice. What would that look like in Juneau?
Free and open to the public. Families are welcome - Let us know if you need childcare. We’ll break for lunch from 1-2 pm.

Based on the true story of the 1996 Japanese embassy hostage crisis in Peru which lasted for over four month, the book and film focus on how the lives of the captors and captured intertwine once the siege has set in, and when enemies began to se one another as equal humans.

Dr. Bradley Stevens presents his new book The Ship, the Saint, and the Sailor during Alaska Book Week. In 1861, the Russian barque Kad’yak set sail from Kodiak, Alaska, with a shipload of ice, but within a few miles from shore struck a rock and foundered. However, because it was full of ice, it drifted for four days before finally sinking near the grave of Alaska’s revered Father (now Saint) Herman on Spruce Island. Over 140 years later, Stevens found the ship with a team of volunteer divers, after years of painstaking research. This is the incredible story of the ship (Kad’yak), the Saint (Herman), and the Sailor (Captain Arkhimandritov) and their intertwined history within the larger context of Alaskan history. It is the story of how the ship was found, almost lost again to private salvors, and became the site of the first underwater archaeological survey in Alaska. This program will be recorded for later broadcast on 360 North and online at www.360north.org/at-the-apk/. Free

Dr. Allison Bidlack, Director, Alaska Coastal Rainforest Center
The Pacific coastal temperate rainforest (PCTR) ecosystem extends from Oregon to southcentral Alaska, and includes the largest remaining old-growth forests in North America, supports some of the most robust fisheries on the continent, and is home to tens of thousands of people who depend on a resource and tourism-based economy for their livelihoods. It is also a region characterized by an intricate geologic and evolutionary past, a rich cultural history, and complex linkages among ecosystem components. This expansive and varied ecosystem is also a vulnerable one: because the average winter temperature at sea level hovers around freezing, the PCTR is highly sensitive to small shifts in climate. Warming temperatures will further speed up glacial melt, precipitation will increasingly fall as rain rather than snow; and seasonal snow cover will become infrequent except at higher elevations. All of these expected (and already occurring) changes will have significant and largely unstudied implications for ecological functioning. There are implications for communities in and around the PCTR that rely heavily on natural resources for economic and subsistence livelihoods: timber production, fisheries and mariculture, hydropower production, and ecotourism opportunities will all be affected. Through interdisciplinary research on ecosystem linkages and driving causes of change in this landscape, ACRC addresses questions about the current and future ecology of the PCTR, all through the lens of natural resource management and climate change.

NAMI Basics is for any parent, guardian, or family caregiver who wants to better understand and support their child or teen who is experiencing emotional or behavioral health challenges, with or without a diagnosis. Our facilitators are parents who had a child experiencing behavioral health challenges before the age of 16. A licensed childcare provider will be onsite, and you can note your childcare needs on the registration form. Dinner is included, and we do our best to accommodate food sensitivities and keep meals healthy. While the course is offered free of charge, we ask participants to commit to the full course (not missing more than 2 classes) which takes place once a week for six consecutive weeks. This is a free course, but registration is necessary as space is limited.

The Tai Chi is learned through a short form of only 5 moves and a longer form of 101 moves. It can be used for health or Martial Arts. The focus of practice shows you how to feel your own energy balance, so it can be adjusted as you practice; so that mistakes are not repeated when practicing alone. This approach uses the entire body in a wave-like motion, as animals do; so the force is more than the muscles in the arm or leg. This will enable you to move with the force of your entire weight and whole body power. Master Hayes has trained in Tai Chi since 1971, and teaching at Juneau Public School Community Schools, from 2017 to present, 1991-2005, and private lessons in Juneau, since 1995. Master Hayes studied from Grandmaster Joseph Greenstein, also known as the Mighty Atom, and Grandmaster Wong Jack Man. Greg has written a book on Qigong, Tai Chi and Xingyi called Axe Hand; Hsing i & Internal Strength Workout. This book is recommended but is not required for this class.https://www.amazon.com/Hand-Hsing-I-Internal-Strength-Workout/dp/1257047116 Dates: October 11, 18, 25 and November 1, 8, 15, 2018: (6 classes) $36 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13O-P0pp3xgo3UDJy51ZDMSTWSOOYdPLbKDq0baA6F_U/viewform?edit_requested=true http://www.juneauschools.org/community-schools-95f9a1c4

Dr. Carolyn Bergstrom, UAS Associate Professor of marine Biology will be the speaker. The diversity of form and function of organisms living in the wild is at the root of the immense biodiversity we see on the planet. Even within a single species, body shape can differ in ways that affect how animals live, and how natural selection acts on them. Marine flatfishes have a remarkable and novel body shape that makes them ideal specimens with which to study the biodiversity of form and function. Dr. Bergstrom will present research on a special species of flatfish found in coastal waters of Southeast Alaska, how it relates to a special species found in Southeast Asia, and some cultural inspiration she discovered while finding out.

Discover the Power of Full Moon Meditation According to ancient yogic tradition, the moon and the mind are connected. It is said that the power of meditation is amplified a hundred-fold during the time of the Full Moon and that the benefits of meditation are greatly magnified. During this auspicious time, meditation helps spiritual seekers go inward, transcend the mind, and feel the positivity within. Meditating under the cool rays of the moon rejuvenates our body and mind, and calms our emotions, and brings out our positive qualities. The rays of the moon affect human beings, animals, plants, and the tides of water. Our body contains a lot of water, so the waxing and waning of the moon have a direct effect on the state of mind and the emotions that we experience. Whether you’re an experienced meditator or are just starting out, come to enliven your meditation practice with an enchanting Full Moon Meditation. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/full-moon-meditation-tickets-51567359360?aff=efbeventtix&fbclid=IwAR3Q2JYOjCpevKp4glXtOrXrD_JWsree8Nq95Fq1Fi6ozbV3kczD3CpXqIg https://www.facebook.com/events/349598689121884/

The Power and Privilege Symposium is partnering with UAS’s One Campus, One Book program to feature Oscar Vazquez, the subject of this year’s common read, Spare Parts. Oscar will be featured at the afternoon keynote. Like many DREAMers, Oscar Vazquez came to the United States as a child in search of a better life. He excelled as a STEM student at Carl Hayden High School and led an unlikely and inspiring story of a group of under-resourced Hispanic high school students who took on an MIT team in an underwater robotics competition. But without legal status after graduating college, he couldn’t secure a job to provide for his new wife and newborn child. He returned to Mexico to apply for a visa, and with help from Sen. Dick Durbin, who spoke from the Senate Floor about Oscar’s case, he was granted a green card in August 2010. Six months later, Oscar enlisted in the Army to serve the country he loves and calls home. Oscar served one tour in Afghanistan and is now a proud U.S. citizen. He is a passionate advocate on behalf on expanding STEM opportunities for Latino and other underrepresented youth. free

The 4th National Climate Assessment (NCA4) confirmed that our planet's climate is changing rapidly. From the top of the atmosphere to the depths of the ocean, evidence of a changing climate abounds.
