Toward Right Relationships with Native Peoples

We invite you to come participate in a participatory workshop, Roots of Injustice, Seeds of Change: Toward Right Relationships with Native Peoples. Our goal will be to raise awareness and concern about our broken relationships with the Indigenous peoples of our land, and set our feet on a path to heal those relationships.
In the Doctrine of Discovery, we find the roots of injustice. In the U.N. Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, we find the seeds of change. How can we nurture these seeds to bring forth the fruits of right relationships with all peoples?
We are honored to have two guest facilitators for the evening. Paula Palmer is a sociologist, writer, and activist for human rights, social justice, and environmental protection. In collaboration with Native American advisors, she created this workshop. Jerilyn DeCoteau is a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians in North Dakota. She is currently a Justice for the Pueblo of San Ildefonso Supreme Court. As a lawyer, she has pressed for the rights of Indian tribes to govern themselves, control their resources and insure human rights for their members. And several volunteers from the Second Tuesday group will help guide us through the evening.

Accessing the Forum
Please remember to come into the church from the large parking lot on the north side of the church that is accessible off of Glencoe St, that is just east of the church. The door to the church you should use is the one that opens onto that parking lot. If you have passengers with mobility difficulties, you can pull up to that entrance and then park in the lot or on the street. We will be meeting downstairs in the Youth Lounge this month. Take the stairs to the right side just inside the door, or the elevator in the short hallway across from the entrance.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Many of you have heard that Park Hill United Methodist Church is now a sanctuary location with a family currently seeking refuge there. Security has been enhanced as we continue to be welcomed to use the building for our meetings. We can only enter the building from the parking lot where someone will be there to open the door for us. You may not be able to gain access if you are more than 45 minutes late.

The Second Tuesday Race Forum meets on the second Tuesday of each month from September to June at the Park Hill United Methodist Church at Montview Blvd and Glencoe St. in Denver. Here is a link to a map on Google: https://goo.gl/maps/oekAR4UReYn
