KAMI KANETSUKA

I don’t have to speak very loudly.

I didn’t…

I don’t think I was involved in environmental stuff.

I guess because

I was in Nepal

… … …

I saw a lot of things that weren’t too good for women.

I also saw a lot of environmental…

I’m not starting at the beginning.

I can’t

I went to Nepal.

I started to think about some of those things.

I just got invited to go there over land.

… … …

I guess

I had enough of England

I’m not really on tonight

How I got there?

I had been feeling guilty because

I had heard about the um

I had heard about the protests

I had even heard about the camp

I had been planning to go there all summer.

I mean there was quite a lot of publicity on the radio and in the newspapers.

And I had seen uh, the article on Sile Simpson

… … …

I had stuck a picture up in my kitchen and every morning

I made my pot of tea

I’d look at it and think oh, I better go up there

… … …

I was doing and um, somehow it got put off until most of the end of the  summer

I was invited to do something on one of the islands

I’ve forgotten the name of the island now

I was up there

I had to go to Vancouver Island
