Keynote Presentation: Kim Haxton (Potowatomi), Elevate Inclusion Strategies
Kim Haxton specializes in cross-cultural interpretation, applied decolonization & lateral liberation, as well as nature & land-based education.
“We are at a critical juncture right now – the future depends on literacy of the past understanding the structures and systems that bind us, so that we can make the shifts from cultures of make-believe – a dominant culture that is steeped in a colonial narrative that is exclusionary and divisive – to one that supports and nourishes ourselves, each other and the worlds around us.” – Kim Haxton
This opportunity is the third in an educational series taking place in 2021 in three, two-part modules. Each narrative session is the precursor to limited capacity training sessions that explore the learnings in more depth. The second session for this third and final module in the series will take place on Sunday, Nov. 28 from 1 pm to 4:00 pm PST, registration link to come following the narrative session. To learn about the first two modules in the program, see links below:
