The Selah Series
November 7, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeThis storytelling series is a space to call forward our ancestors who have histories of creation, healing, and resistance and to remember their stories and the hope that is inherent in our communal continued existence.
Stories of Creation November 7
Storytellers will share stories of the creation of the Earth and the universe that come from indigenous cultural histories. This event is about reclaiming how the world was made.
Stories of Resistance November 14
Storytellers will share stories of protest, organizing, collective bargaining, and community care. What can we learn from those that came before us? The road map to social uplift has been written, and written well.
Stories of Healing November 21
