CPRH Webinar: “Land Back as Property Stewardship Ethic”
Thursday, Sept. 24, 6 p.m. Central time
Zoom Webinar
Registration coming soon.
Details
Honoring our commitment as a church through the social policy resolution “Supporting ELCA Land Back Efforts and Indigenous Ministries,” this webinar is focused on land return. Indigenous leaders from within and beyond the ELCA will share about the Land Back movement and repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery. Participants will also learn from congregations and synods taking part in land return and reconciliation efforts.
Land Acknowledgement
We will gather in this virtual place from all parts of Turtle Island, connected by technology; faith; a common sense of purpose; the breath given us by the breath-maker, who has named and called us here; and the very piece of Mother Earth - the land - that each of us inhabits today.
We understand the importance and necessity of our acknowledging the land and the original, Indigenous peoples whose creation stories are rooted in these places and who have lived on these lands throughout Turtle Island since time immemorial.
