From Historical Trauma to Historical Wisdom: How a Generation Is Healing

Multnomah County Library - US Bank Room 801 SW 10th St, Portland

The Indigenous 20-Something Project began as a movement to heal Native young adults from the lasting impacts of intergenerational trauma caused by colonization. In this interactive talk, Shalene Joseph (A'aniih, Athabascan) and Josh Cocker (Ka'igwu, Tongan) will share their perspectives on the power of historical wisdom to create resilience, hope and community connection. Join us for Everybody Reads, Multnomah County Library’s annual community reading project.
