Indigenous Speaker Series

Dominican's Social Justice Grant Project (through Social Justice Department & Service-Learning Program), Museum of the American Indian in Novato, and the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in San Rafael formed a partnership to provide educational events to DUC students that uplift the voices, knowledge, and wisdom of the Indigenous American leaders and advocates in Marin County and beyond. The year-long series included 7 lunchtime guest talks for the campus and church communities, and a virtual public panel featuring the Indigenous leaders’ perspectives on how land acknowledgments should be understood within the context historical settler colonialism and continuing systemic denial of Indigenous rights and access to land.
