Culture, Trauma, and Resilience Workshop
Saturday, January 21 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm
All those who identify as women are invited to join us as we continue the hands-on Doll Project, and interactively explore the impact of colonization, historical trauma, and the loss of Indigenous identity fueling the MMIWP (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People) crisis. Our presenter, Carolyn DeFord, will also educate us on the importance of Native American culture in identity and resilience.
