How to Be an Ally to Indigenous Peoples

Morrill Memorial Library

7 p.m.

We cannot change what we cannot see. We cannot understand each other if we aren’t speaking the same language. We cannot be friends if we do not tell the truth.

In this 1-hour, interactive course by educator Rosa Blumenfeld, she will provide a framework so that we can see the bigger picture of capitalism and white supremacy and how these systems set us up to interact with each other as human beings on Turtle Island (the name for North America that is used by some Indigenous people). By providing a common language, we can start to see the roles that the system wants us to continue to play for its own profit and gain. Once we are able to see our roles, we can then make different choices based on our values and good hearts that lead us all towards truth and reconciliation.
