The Indigenous Perspective

Settler-Colonist Ties to Thanksgiving and Columbus: The Indigenous Perspective

Join SREA (Sharon Racial Equity Alliance) in an educational presentation that will dispel inaccurate information, address the myths surrounding Thanksgiving and Columbus, and provide missing historical facts from the Indigenous perspective.

The presentation will transform what we have been taught about the Indigenous experience and highlight the resiliency, contributions and enduring impact of First Nations in order to develop a common memory of historical events.

Professional educator, Claudia Fox Tree, M.Ed. (Arawak/Yurumein) teaches courses and workshops on transforming curriculum and culturally responsive teaching practices. She also leads conversations "un-erasing" Native American First Nations People (FNP) ingenuity. She gives voice to First Nation experiences (past and present) and asks allies and co-conspirators to come on the journey with her. Her presentations feature discussions which can focus on identity,
culture, contributions, stereotypes, and historical inaccuracies.
