About this Event
As Indigenous people, our survival and resistance has always depended on knowledge sharing across communities, learning from relatives who walk the path before us, and teaching those who follow. Join us as we honor this ancestral means of exchange in a panel that centers knowledge keepers and matrilineal leaders from and their work dismantling colonial violence in their communities, focusing on harms, risks, and solutions related to MMIP.
This summit offers a platform for survivors and relatives across Turtle Island to share their perspectives on the systemic and social roots of the MMIP crisis, fostering a space to build bridges across our communities on a path toward collective liberation and justice. At this summit, we'll delve into crucial topics surrounding representation within MMIP, including the often overlooked faces of Black Native individuals and the underrepresentation of trans/2-spirit communities in mainstream discussions on the MMIP movement.
This transnational campaign to denounce gender violence will shine a spotlight on Spanish-speaking immigrants who have been affected by femicide that disproportionately impacts indigenous and Afro-indigenous women of Central America and the Caribbean. It is of immense importance to us that these conversations do not exclude anyone of Turtle Island, as it is crucial to recognize the intrinsic design of structural violence so that the perspective is not focused on localized violence, limited to a specific location, but instead, a system that affects all indigenous peoples of Turtle Island.
