Embodying Solidarity with Indigenous People by Becoming Kin
April 4 at 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm CDT
Sponsored by the Twin Cities Repair Community for Makoce Ikikcupi (Dakota Land Recovery), Sarah Augustine will present a lecture, “Embodying Solidarity with Indigenous People by Becoming Kin,” on Friday evening, April 4, 7:00–8:30 PM at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities. This hybrid talk is open to the public at no charge; doors open at 6:15 PM. Sarah is the executive director of the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery. She is Tewa (Pueblo), and is leading a national and international movement for justice for Indigenous peoples.
Sarah, who is an author and activist, calls everyday Christians to organize alongside Indigenous land and water protectors, and to direct our life energy toward dismantling the Christian Doctrine of Discovery—the basis for U.S. and international laws and policies that uphold colonization and remove Indigenous Peoples from their lands still today. Sarah’s voice is a prophetic one for these times, speaking from her perspectives as an Indigenous woman and activist, an “internally displaced” person, a trained sociologist and systems thinker, and a Mennonite Christian. Come listen, learn, and join this movement for cultural and structural change.
