On the road

Off to Kalamazoo, Michigan to attend a retreat with the Fetzer Institute on Indigenous leadership.   We’ll gather together 24 or so folks from around the US who are working with leadership in Indigenous communities, organizations and governments and ask some interesting questions about the kinds of worldviews that drive our current practice of leadership, moving us away from traditional collective leadership capacities and towards individual leadership and scientific management models.

The photo above is the scene I just watched, the sun rising over Mount Baker.   My friend Dustin Rivers says that the [e Sḵwxwú7mesh word for this time of day is kwakweya, the moment when the sun peeks up over the mountains.

New day dawning.
