Indigenous Justice

with Morning Star Gali 

Monday, May 15 at 7:00pm

Did you know that California is one of the top 10 states that Indigenous women are facing a crisis of survival?  Are you aware that Indigenous youth in California face some of the most disproportionate numbers of school suspensions and juvenile detentions?  It is not surprising if you haven't, as issues facing Indigenous peoples are severely underrepresented in news/media platforms and typically have a very low degree of cultural competency.  Join us to learn more about how we can all assist tribal communities in the creation and protection of a better future that we know to be possible.
