This fall’s program of the Minnesota Peace Initiative, celebrating events important to our Norway House neighborhood—Indigenous Peoples’ Day October 9th and Indigenous Peoples’ Month in November—invites two prestigious Indigenous leaders:
The Honorable Anne K. McKeig, Associate Justice, Minnesota State Supreme Court
Laila Susanne Vars, Associate Professor, Sami University of Applied Sciences, Norway (via special video message)
We will discuss the future challenges and opportunities for Indigenous Peoples, globally and locally, as well as what all of us can do together to better protect our earth for many generations to come.
There will be a moderated time for Q & A with the audience.
This event is free and will be live-streamed and recorded. RSVP is strongly recommended for in-person attendance.
If attending via live-stream the link will be posted at Norway House’s website (by 12 pm on October 24).
