Workshops

• Working With Indigenous Communities

  • This workshop utilizes the four R’s (respect, reciprocity, relevance, and responsibility) of Indigenous research to work with individuals and organizations on how to best collaborate with Indigenous communities in regards to public and educational programming, philanthropy, and academic research.

• Centering Indigenous People in Racial Justice Work

  • This workshop provides an overview of Indigenous history, particularly in the United States, looking particularly at settler colonialism, Indigenous identity, historical oppression, and decolonization. Racial justice often places Native American, First Nations, Metis, Aboriginal, and Indigenous people on the margins of racial justice work leading to a hyper invisibility of Indigenous groups. This workshop creates a space to allow for more dialogue in how Indigenous people may be best represented within racial justice work through collaboration, understanding, and working together to create more open dialogue about centering Indigenous groups within this canon.

• Digital Storytelling: Indigenous Storywork and Digital Media

  • This workshop will focus on how digital media is used for counter-storytelling. Counter-storytelling is “a method of telling the stories of those people whose experiences are not often told” (Solorzano and Yosso, 2002). Through digital media, such as blogs, social media, podcasts, digital art, and virtual tours; participants will learn how to create their own storytelling platform, how to include digital storytelling within their organizations and classrooms, and how create collaborative projects through digital media with one goal in mind, to create a space for marginalized groups to tell their stories, to educate, and for reconciliation.
