Truth Telling and Healing: Indigenous and Environmental Justice Series
Truth Telling and Healing: Indigenous and Environmental Justice Series The Role of Religion: Colonization, Missionary Work, Boarding Schools Part 3
From Unity’s land acknowledgement: We acknowledge the ongoing injustices that we have committed against the Dakota and Ojibwe nations, and we wish to interrupt this legacy, beginning with acts of healing and honest storytelling about this place.
As we continue the process of telling the truth and taking responsibility for our part in historical injustice and the complicity that continues into the present, Part 3 of our seven-part monthly series on Truth Telling and Healing will focus on the impact of missionary work, colonization, and boarding schools on the lives of Indigenous people in Minnesota.
Dr. Samuel Torres (he/him) of the Native American Boarding Schools Healing Coalition will discuss the history of Indian boarding schools and their impact today, considering what we can do and what is being done.
Wednesday, December 7 • 7:00 p.m. Unity Church-Unitarian Parish Hall and online via Zoom
