Roots of Injustice, Seeds of Change: Toward Right Relationship with Native Peoples

Virtual

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.
