About the event

For many Native communities, lateral violence is part of a larger cycle of pain that is rooted in colonization. This panel discussion features AI/AN experts and Native community members from across the country. This is an open and honest discussion from a Native perspective on why the oppressed becomes the oppressor and what can be done on a road towards unity. This event will provide strategies for healing and rebuilding what was once taken.

Event Goals and Topics:

· What it is and what it looks like: Define and give personal examples and explain the negative effects of internalized colonialism and lateral violence/oppression.

· Hurt people hurt people: Discuss why this topic is important for Native people, communities, leaders, and Tribal nations.

· What can be done: How AI/AN people, communities, leaders, and Tribal nations can heal and unite.
