Native Voices and the Language of Place

When: Tuesday, October 5th, 6-7:30 pm CST
Where: Zoom (link will be emailed a week before the webinar to those who register)

Land recognition honoring native homelands and reclaiming indigenous languages and their relationships with places of cultural significance are important and timely topics. Two of our partners—Tia Koerte, director of the Ke Kula Ni’ihau o Kekaha language charter school in Kaua’i and Keeli Siyaka, Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota and Environmental Justice Educator and Organizer with the Lower Phalen Creek Project—will share perspectives from their lives and work experiences.   

 

Keeli is part of a team preserving and developing public interpretation of the Wakaŋ Tipi site at St Paul’s Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary. Tia’s school is working to preserve and perpetuate the Ni’ihau dialect of Hawaiian.
