Upcoming ONLINE Webinars and Workshops<\/strong>

December 4, 7pm EASTERN, 4pm PACIFIC: “Assimilate or Be Exterminated”<\/em> by David Raymond (Mi\u2019kmaw descendant). <\/strong>

For much of their existence, the Quaker Yearly Meetings of Turtle Island and Britain pursued the eradication of Indigenous Peoples\u2019 cultures and matriarchies as a means to save Indigenous Peoples from the supposed necessity of extermination (mass killing). David Raymond will examine Quaker writings and deeds from the late 18th century to the present and will offer reflections on the impact of the truth on his faith journey. Co-sponsored by Decolonizing Quakers<\/a>. REGISTER HERE<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>

\u201cRoots of Injustice, Seeds of Change: Toward Right Relationship with Native Peoples\u201d<\/em> Workshop<\/strong>
In this 2-hour participatory program, we experience the history of the colonization of Turtle Island, the land that is now known as the United States. The story is told through the words of Indigenous leaders, European\/American leaders, and Western historians. We engage with this history through experiential exercises and small group discussions. And we are invited to consider how we can build relationships with Indigenous peoples based on truth, respect, justice, and our shared humanity. Facilitated by TRR\u2019s Native and non-Native teams. Appropriate for high school students and adults.
