This session will teach learners about why and how it is so critical to acknowledge the first people who stewarded the lands we all inhabit. You’ll learn how to be in right relationship with first peoples, extending your commitment beyond words and into action and deep connection to the earth. Whether you’re an individual on an anti-racist practice or an organization curious about adding language to your website, this powerful session will leave you more knowledgeable and (hopefully) even more committed to re-indigenizing your work!
