The Loss of Turtle Island Learning Experience

The Beloved Community Team will host a participatory learning experience, facilitated by a guest expert, called "The Loss of Turtle Island." This event depicts the historic relationship between European settlers and the Indigenous nations, the original inhabitants, of the land we now call the United States of America. Blankets represent the land and participants represent distinct Indigenous nations who experience colonization, genocide, broken treaties, forced removal, assimilation and termination — all in the spirit of the Doctrine of Discovery.
