This gathering encourages participants to understand Indigenous history beyond a European-American lens and to recognize the importance of actively preserving Indigenous cultures through respect, education, and awareness.

For centuries, Indigenous and Native Indian histories were often prevented from being shared, taught, or openly discussed. Today, we have an opportunity to learn from Indigenous peoples, recognize their influence on contemporary movements—including environmentalism—and consider how education, understanding, and justice can help repair relationships.
