CLASS INFO
How can uninvited settlers on Indigenous lands transform colonial violence to become good guests and allies? Indigenous communities are very busy healing from the harms of colonization and revitalizing their heritage ways of life, so settlers must do their work to lay foundations for constructive work with Native Nations. This workshop series will introduce participants to ways to change behaviors, self-educate, pursue personal growth, and develop skills needed to enter into right relationships with Indigenous communities in the Los Angeles region. After completing the workshop series, participants will be prepared to begin collective collaboration benefiting Indigenous communities in concrete ways shaped by Indigenous leadership and their community goals.
