How can Black and Native communities work together for a better future? In this workshop we will examine how these two communities have historically been divided. We'll also discuss how they've worked together to build community, despite oppression. Together, we'll look at ways for Black and Native communities to do more than dream about a post-colonial world. We'll leave with ways we can create a liberated and sovereign future for us all.
