2019 National Day of Racial Healing

The Blanket Exercise by Native Americans in Philanthropy
Join us for an experiential learning opportunity that will introduce the epic historical narrative of the Indigenous people of Turtle Island, now also known as North America, in a unique and evocative way. This workshop will serve as a great teaching moment for most and will re-introduce, for some participants, stories related to the oppression of Native peoples and colonization, starting with notions of “discovery” at 1492, including the Doctrine of Discovery.

This interactive process, originally developed by KAIROS in Canada, will lead the participants through historical and contemporary events that expose the systemic policies of the United States federal government that promoted and continues to promote the extermination of Native peoples and Native nations, and how Native peoples persisted and survived. Come and join us for this opportunity to learn and engage in a vital dialogue of justice for the Indigenous people of this land.
