The Coalition of Natives and Allies is composed of 3 Native women and 2 non-Native women who have been teaching the truth about our shared history with the Indigenous peoples of this land. We strive to build bridges between Indigenous communities, allies, legislators, faith-based and non-profit organizations, state agencies, school administrators and educators in order to cultivate respect and end racism. After four years of doing this work, we have turned our educational program into a film under the direction of filmmaker Eli Noyes.
Join us for an evening of inspiration and community-building to celebrate the release of The Regeneration Handbook by Boulder-based activist and Transition Towns Trainer Don Hall. Enjoy live music from Ashley Willfire and her band, local food from the FED food truck, short talks by six local changemaking organizations, and a keynote presentation by the author.
In this 2-hour participatory program, we experience the history of the colonization of Turtle Island, the land that is now known as the United States. The story is told through the words of Indigenous leaders, European/American leaders, and Western historians. We engage with this history through experiential exercises and small group discussions. And we are invited to consider how we can build relationships with Indigenous peoples based on truth, respect, justice, and our shared humanity. Facilitated by TRR's Native and non-Native teams. Appropriate for high school students and adults.
