The Indigenous Peoples Justice Team, a focus group of Beloved Community, is offering a church-wide invitation to a hands-on experience demonstrating the lasting, disastrous effects of the Doctrine of Discovery on Indigenous Peoples.
The Loss of Turtle Island is a participatory learning experience that depicts the historic relationship between European settlers and the Indigenous nations, the original inhabitants, of the land we now call the United States of America.
Blankets represent the land and participants represent distinct Indigenous nations who experience colonization, genocide, broken treaties, forced removal, assimilation and termination — all in the spirit of the Doctrine of Discovery.
Join us for this free learning experience on Saturday, December 12 from 1-3 p.m. CST at First Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashville.
Please register.
