The Siinqee Institute Honours Paula Gonzalez for International Women’s Day
Dear Paula,
The Siinqee Institute honours you for the 2024 International Women’s Day on March 8th. You are an amazing woman we hold in high regard. Please accept this as an expression of our gratitude for all the inspiration and resources you generously shared with us.
We celebrate you because your life epitomizes our dreams and aspirations, and your vision and values resonate with the visions and core values of the Siinqee Institute:
Your profound belief in women’s power in Indigenous cosmologies is at the core of our vision.
Your work around Indigenous Women for Land Defense and your commitment to reclaim women’s suppressed knowledge from forces of patriarchy and colonialism is at the core of our mission.
Your firm belief in the responsibility to pass on women’s knowledge to generations is our ethical commitment.
We celebrate you because your profound belief in the fundamental truth of interdependence and equality of all beings in the Universe is our core value of relationality.
Your solidarity work with the downtrodden when injustice ruptures the harmony and balance of the Universe resonates with our core value of solidarity and responsibility.
The decolonizing healing work you do among Indigenous communities here and internationally through your performances and multifaceted community arts for healing is in deep resonance with our core value of justice as healing and restorative.
