Virtual: Roots of Injustice, Seeds of Change Workshop

February 23, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm CST

This workshop is presented by Jerilyn DeCoteau (Turtle Mountain Chippewa) and Paula Palmer, co-directors of Toward Right Relationship with Native Peoples (Friends Peace Teams). It is put on by the Center for Great Plains Studies at the University of Nebraska as part of their year-long series of events: “A Year of Reckoning and Reconciliation: Conversation, Learning, and Connecting.”

CGPS describes the event as a “2-hour participatory workshop, [where] participants will experience the history of the colonization of Turtle Island, the land that is now known as the United States. The story will be told through the words of Indigenous leaders, European/American leaders, and Western historians. Participants will engage with this history through experiential exercises and small group discussions. All will be invited to consider how to build relationships with Indigenous peoples based on truth, respect, justice, and our shared humanity.”
