Honoring Indigenous Voices: Reclaiming and Restoring Truth

Join Us for "Honoring Indigenous Voices"

We invite you to an impactful event that will not only inspire but also provide a space for reflection on Indigenous history, its impact on our present, and its critical role in healing historical injustices and addressing current global challenges.

Event Overview:

"Honoring Indigenous Voices" aims to bring our community together for a day of thought-provoking dialogue and shared learning. By delving into historical narratives of Indigenous history, we look to forge a path towards addressing contemporary challenges to our humanity and the environment. Refreshments will be available starting at 10:00 AM, followed by the commencement of the forum at 10:30 AM.

Engagement Opportunities:

Throughout the event, you will have the chance to submit your questions for a Q&A session and engage with representatives from the Amah Mutsun Land Trust and Friends of Juristac. Additional program highlights include an Amah Mutsun Land Trust presentation by Sara French, Development Director on who and what the Land Trust is and how people can get involved to support their work, and a reading from Dr Judith Scott’s book ‘When the Mission Bells Rang'.

Food:

We invite you to stay for lunch from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm, generously provided by chef Joseph Schulz of India Joze and Friends of Juristac. This casual and conversational lunch is designed to foster connections among participants, promoting future collaborations and encouraging the brainstorming of insightful questions for the afternoon panel.
