Justice, Healing and the Legacy of Native American Boarding Schools
Join us October 6 to virtually gather and learn together.
The Native American International Caucus of the UMC invites all United Methodists to observe a special week of prayer and action from Sept. 30 to Oct. 6 focused on the theme of “Justice for Our Children – Healing for Our Communities”.
Join United Women in Faith members and friends on October 6 from 3 p.m.-5 p.m. Eastern, noon-2 p.m. Pacific, for a virtual time of gathering and learning together.
We will:
-Pray together
-Watch Unspoken: America’s Native American Boarding Schools, an educational program recommended by NAIC
-Reflect in small groups on the history of Native American Boarding Schools in the United States, and
-Consider how this history echoes into the present moment, as Native American students continue to face racial discrimination, criminalization and school pushout, and as survivors of boarding schools continue to call for justice and healing.
Learn more about the week for remembrance and action.
This event is hosted by United Women in Faith. There is no cost to participate. All are welcome. Space is limited and registration is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
