Kung Jaadee
2021 Indigenous Storyteller in Residence
Originally from the village of Old Massett, Haida Gwaii, Kung Jaadee belongs to the X̱aayda (Haida), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) First Nations. Since 1996, Kung Jaadee has performed for hundreds of audiences across Canada and the U.S. Through her writing and storytelling, she has taught the Haida language to both children and adults alike, helping to preserve and revitalize her ancestral dialect. Kung Jaadee means 'Moon Woman' in Xaad Kil. This traditional name was given to her by her cousin Crystal Robinson in 2008 at the memorial potlatch honouring her great uncle.

Upcoming events on April 15 and 29!

Through our storyteller in residence, VPL seeks to honour Indigenous cultures and to promote intercultural understanding and communication between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.

City of Vancouver - Climate & Equity Working Group

We’re recruiting members for the Climate and Equity Working Group. Members of the Climate and
Equity Working Group will advise City staff on climate-related policies, programs, and engagement
efforts from an equity perspective, and help to shape the development of a Climate Justice Charter that
will integrate and advance equity in climate policy.
Working Group members will be expected to attend 10 meetings per year, roughly monthly (2-3 hours
each), and spend approximately two hours per month outside of meetings on Working Group activity.
We are seeking people with lived experience of systemic inequities and those who work with
organizations working in this space with an understanding of any of the following: racial justice, climate
justice, experience with equity indicators, and related perspectives.
Staff will be looking for members with ability to provide strategic advice, who have inter-cultural
fluency, the ability to work in a team environment, and an ability to network with broad connections.
A variety of experience and types of knowledge are valued and welcome. Compensation for
participation at living wage rate is available.
More information and a link to register can be found here: https://vancouver.ca/green-vancouver/an-equitable-plan.aspx
(Note that spaces are being held for interested
Indigenous participants, so you can ignore the application deadline )
