Indigenous Arctic Youth

[Oleg Izyumenko]

Hey guys,

are we trying to invite any indigenous youth from the Arctic (Swedish or Scandinavian in general) to the Power Shift? Some useful contacts below…

Hello Kevin!

Thank YOU, it was a pleasure to have there with us! I read your blog at 350.org, I loved it! I'm also very curious about your photoproject, have you seen the photos yet?

I'm not sure about how the sami could or should participate, I guess you are talking about 10/10 action? I'm still thinking about that, and I have to speak with my friends in the boarder, perhaps they have some ideas.. I don't know really about which other groups you should contact, I'm thinking about maybe the youth organsizations in Norwegian and Finnish parts of Sapmi? Noereh (Susanne Andersen: susann...@gmail.com) and Suoma Sami Nuorat (Tuomas Aslak Juuso: g.a...@hotmail.com).. I think youth organizations might be the best forums to work with these issues.. ;)

Again, thank you, and i look forward to see your photos from our meeting!

eale dearvan! (live well!)

Helena

Hello Helena,

This is Kevin with 350. I just wanted to send you a quick note and say what a pleasure it was to attend the conference a few weeks ago, and how very much I took away with me. It was very inspiring and really helped to reaffirm a number of my interests - and the ways in which they are related.... its all connected. I wrote a short blog piece about my trip, you can find it on 350.org

I also wanted to reach out to you to see what ideas you had about for engagement in the 350 Global Work Party, and ways in which you think the Sami could participate, and any other groups you think I should contact.

Again, it was really really great being up in Ammarnas, and I will send on more photos when I have them developed.

Be free,

Kevin
