Feature:
August 8th, 2010 marked the 20th and final Under The Volcano, a cultural and political festival that has long given voice to marginalized and indigenous communities. To honor their contribution, we presented a broadcast of one of the workshops at the 19th Under The Volcano, entitled From Gaza to Gustafsen, which detailed the links and similarities between the Palestinian struggle and the struggle of the indigenous people here against settler colonialist aggression. The workshop featured Gord Hill, a Native writer and activist, Hanna Kawas, cohost of Voice of Palestine and chair of Canada Palestine Assoc.(CPA), as well as Israeli American DJ Invincible. The full workshop was recorded by Pasifik.ca and can be listened to at the CPA website www.cpavancouver.org
