SUMMARY:April Call to Peace with Peter Magai Bul
DESCRIPTION:Join us to send peace and love to all countries and meet our inspirational special guest Peter Magai Bul. https://theimmigrantstory.org/lost-boy/\nWe met Peter when he started representing South Sudan in the World Peace Flag Ceremony in 2014 at Peace Day. (Buildthepeace.org) and he has been huge supporter every year since then. Peter embarked on harrowing journey as one of the “Lost Boys and Lost Girls of Sudan” at the age of 8 when his ethnic Dinka population was attacked by the Sudanese government sending thousands of boys and girls separated from their families to survive over a decade struggling for their lives in exile. Hear about how he relied on his strong cultural upbringing to make it through years of unimaginable conditions and then went on to draw on his experiences to become a human rights activist and a community organizer\, inspiring youth to leverage their own experiences to make a change in the world. Also learn about his upcoming exhibit at Navy Pier:\nhttp://www.southsudanmagaibul.org/events\nJoin us here live or on zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81369934785 ID 813 6993 4785\nRead Peter’s complete bio below:\nPeter Magai Bul was born in Wangulei\, South Sudan. In 1988\, when Bul was only seven\, war in Sudan forced him to leave his family and embark upon the longest exodus of his life that first sent him to exile in Ethiopia. He is one of 26\,000 “Lost Boys and Lost Girls of Sudan\,” driven from their villages when the Sudanese government attacked his ethnic Dinka population of Southern Sudan in 1988. After escaping the Ethiopian war of 1991 to the border of Sudan and Kenya\, further attacks by the Sudanese government’s soldiers forced a final exile to Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya where he and about survived 14\,000 Lost Boys and Lost Girls resisted life-threatening conditions for a total of nine long years. Bul and about 3\,800 Sudanese refugees were finally resettled in the US in 2001.\nDuring his long walk\, he relied on his strong cultural upbringing that allowed him to survive. Later\, in the U.S.\, he drew on his experiences to become a human rights activist and a community organizer\, inspiring youth to leverage their own skills to make change in the world. As a survivor and a member of generation betrayed by the Sudanese leaders who murdered and displaced millions of his people throughout many decades of endless civil wars\, Bul is committed to championing the unity of his scattered people as well as peace in South Sudan and from the around the world. Throughout his thirteen years of struggles from various refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya\, Bul served as a leader\, caring for hundreds of motherless and fatherless children and he continue serving others throughout his over twenty years of living in the United States of America.\n\nBul shared his story with thousands of people at the invitations of faith-based institutions\, community organizations\, universities\, high schools\, elementary schools\, and other public venues. He made television appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show\, Avy Meyers North Town News Magazine\, as well as in news segments on WGN\, Voice of America\, and CAN TV\, among others. Stories from various aspects of his life have been published in news sources such as The Chicago Tribune\, Chicago Sun Times\, and Naperville’s Daily Herald. Bul is a passionate advocate for his homeland and the U.S Sudanese Community. He served as a Board Member for the Chicago Association for the Lost Boys of Sudan (CALBOS) and Sudanese Community Association of Illinois (SCAI)\, among others. He cofounded and served as a President of nonprofit organization\, the Philadelphia-based Ayual Community Development Association (ACDA). Bul is also a member of the US-based advocate\, humanitarian\, and charitable groups known as the Ambassador Group (AG) and Coalition of Advocates for South Sudan (CASS).

They live a simple life\, rich in family and friends\, in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo–until the unthinkable happens. When all they care for is destroyed by war\, they are forced to escape. But what Afra has seen is so terrible she has gone blind\, and so they must embark on a perilous journey through Turkey and Greece towards an uncertain future in Britain. On the way\, Nuri is sustained by the knowledge that waiting for them is Mustafa\, his cousin and business partner\, who has started an apiary and is teaching fellow refugees in Yorkshire to keep bees. \nAs Nuri and Afra travel through a broken world\, they must confront not only the pain of their own unspeakable loss\, but dangers that would overwhelm the bravest of souls. Above all\, they must journey to find each other again. \nMoving\, powerful\, compassionate\, and beautifully written\, The Beekeeper of Aleppo is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit. It is the kind of book that reminds us of the power of storytelling.

SUMMARY:Virtual Film Screening and Discussion: Inhabitants
DESCRIPTION:Join is virtually for our Earth Week Activities!\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nIn celebration of Earth Day and Earth Week\, join us for a virtual screening of the film Inhabitants. You can view the film at your leisure anytime between April 22-29th\, 2022. Be sure to join us on Sunday\, April 24th at 7:00pm for a panel discussion with filmmakers Costa Boutsikaris and Dr. Michael Kotutwa Johnson. *All links will be emailed before April 22nd. \n  \nInhabitants: Indigenous Perspectives on Restoring Our World \nFor millennia Native Americans successfully stewarded and shaped their landscapes\, but centuries of colonization have disrupted their ability to maintain their traditional land management practices. From deserts\, coastlines\, forests\, mountains\, and prairies\, Native communities across the US are restoring their ancient relationships with the land. The five stories include sustaining traditions of Hopi dryland farming in Arizona; restoring buffalo to the Blackfeet reservation in Montana; maintaining sustainable forestry on the Menominee reservation in Wisconsin; reviving native food forests in Hawaii; and returning prescribed fire to the landscape by the Karuk Tribe of California. As the climate crisis escalates these time-tested practices of North America’s original inhabitants are becoming increasingly essential in a rapidly changing world. \nWebsite: www.INHABITANTSFILM.com \nInstagram: @InhabitantsFilm \nFaceBook: www.FaceBook.com/InhabitantsFilm \n  \nFilmmakers: \nCosta Boutsikaris – Co-Director/Cinematographer/Editor \nCosta is a New York-based director and cinematographer. In 2015 he released his first feature documentary entitled INHABIT: A Permaculture Perspective. In 2016 it took home the Audience Choice Award at The Environmental Film Festival At Yale and the Princeton Environmental Film Festival and won Best In Theme at the Wild & Scenic Film Festival. \nDirectors Statement \n  \nWe\, Anna Palmer and Costa Boutsikaris\, have had the immense privilege of getting the opportunity to help Native project leaders share their stories and visions of the future. In 2017 Anna Palmer was working for the USDA helping develop climate adaptation plans for Tribes in the Southwest. While attending academic conferences on Climate Change Adaptation she continued to hear a constant request for higher quality media of Native land management projects. Through conversations with Tribal project leaders and our supporting foundations we developed a plan for creating a film to help document these projects. This film was made collaboratively with our Tribal Advisory Board\, which includes representatives from each of the Tribes highlighted in the film and the Kalliopeia Foundation. These partnerships allowed the film subjects to ensure that the film is accurate\, culturally appropriate and meets the needs of their communities. \n  \nFor more information about this program\, contact info@mitchellmuseum.org
