The ReHuman School was inspired by Black students in our "Building Solidarity with Indigenous Communities" course to offer this connective space, and we look forward to welcoming as many attendees across the world as possible to discuss topics, such as:
Confronting anti-blackness in the Indigenous community
Naming and transforming colonial complicity in the Black community
Earth People: Black and Red solidarity for Mother Earth healing
Paths forward: What does unity and solidarity look like for the 21st century?
In this conference, you will:
Hear from incredible Black and Indigenous leaders and how they are building intercultural solidarity
Reflect on shared ancestries and histories between Black and Indigenous peoples
Connect in safe space with relatives across the globe through breakout sessions and community forums
Identify steps and actions that can be made together in service to each other and Mother Earth
