We hope you will join us on December 1 at 3:00 PM ET/12:00 PM PT for Honoring Sovereignty: Understanding the Roots of Relationship.
This foundational session explores the historical and legal foundations of Tribal sovereignty, helping participants understand Native Nations as distinct governments. Through storytelling and reflection, we examine how federal Indian policy, the boarding school legacy, and systemic inequities continue to shape Native families and early childhood systems today.
This webinar is the first in a series to be offered through the Alliance’s Native Communities Learning Project: We Are Still Here, a project being developed in partnership with Returning Light Consulting, Tara Manthey (Osage Nation) and Stephanie Cote (Anishinaabe), and an advisory committee of Alliance grantees with Native heritage. This initiative is intended to address knowledge gaps within our organization and the Alliance network about Native history, governance, culture, and community.
The project aims to build a shared foundational cultural understanding to support our capacity as advocates to cultivate authentic relationships with Native leaders and communities.
