Description
The 2020 PCJ Student Conference served as a platform for discussions on the modern challenges and opportunities for Indigenous communities in Canada. The PCJ Student Conference is an annual student-organized event that brings together the PCJ community outside of the classroom for an opportunity to learn about and engage with an issue pertinent to discussions of peace, conflict and justice. This year, the conference served as a platform for Indigenous academics, practitioners, community leaders, Elders and traditional knowledge keepers to guide discussions on the modern challenges and opportunities for Indigenous communities in Canada. This theme served to provide a domestic context to issues of peace, conflict and justice that are often overshadowed by international events. The two-day conference took place at the Campbell Conference Facility at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy with the following schedule of events: Friday, January 31 5:00 PM ─ Opening Remarks and Land Acknowledgement 5:30 PM ─ Keynote Address (Professor Brenda Wastasecoot) 6:30 PM ─ Networking Event Saturday, February 1 9:30 AM ─ Opening Remarks and Land Acknowledgment 10:00 AM ─ Session 1: Land and Environmental (TBA) 11:00 AM ─ Session 2: Legal and Treaty (Delbert Wapass) 12:00 PM ─ Lunch 1:00 PM ─ Session 3: Language and Culture (Debby Danard) 2:00 PM ─ Session 4: MMIWG (Lee Maracle and Jennifer Brant) 3:00 PM ─ Session 5: Economic Empowerment (Tabatha Bull) 4:00 PM ─ Final Remarks and Closing.

ANOTHER WORLD is a feature documentary about mankind’s journey to discover our true force and who we truly are, challenging the modern view of the world and reconsidering the world view and value systems of ancient societies such as the indigenous Americans. It’s a quest through science and consciousness, individual and planetary, exploring our relationships with ourselves, the world around us and the universe as a whole. It demonstrates how connected we really all are, as best expressed in the Mayan greeting In Lak’ech, which means “I am another yourself.” It also demonstrates just how unnatural the sense of separation that characterizes much of modern thought really is as opposed to the understanding of unity and oneness found in many ancient traditions.
Above all it is a transcendental pilgrimage of repossession and empowerment, affirming our place in the universe and asserting mankind as a conscious mankind with real power as individuals and as a collective to create our reality, leaving us with a message that will not only open our eyes, but will hopefully stimulate everyone into generating a better and brighter tomorrow for the benefit of present and future generations.
