Amid the conversation to transform colonizer institutions, we first ground ourselves in relationality, place, and community. How are Indigenous organizations doing the work of preservation, recovery, and revitalization?  Building relationality with place, history, and community can deliver diverse ways of knowing into institutional cultures and curricula. This panel of leaders from Indigenous organizations doing place-based work will share their experiences and perspectives on pathways to educational institutions’ transformation. 

This event is presented as part of the Place and Relations Capstone: Indigenizing Education (April 14, 2023) by the Environmental Stewardship, Place, and Community Initiative with the support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Institute for Advanced Study.
