Weaving Our Wisdom by Decolonizing Our Work: MSH-TA Webinar Series

Online session examining some of the current habits that impact our daily lives through our organizations, community structures, and the ways that we move through the world. We will explore how we have taken on harmful attitudes and behaviors that do not reflect our values as Native people. We will create space to reflect on how we can decolonize our own individual practices to make change for our communities by weaving together our collective wisdom to end gender-based violence.

Walking Alongside Two-spirit Survivors of Violence and Trafficking: A Personal Healing Journey, MSH-TA Webinar Series

In this webinar, Christina Love, ANDVSA Senior Specialist, will share the importance of story and how we see ourselves and the communities that grow us, including the importance of strong roots and some of the liberating practices that she has learned from growing back into community.
