National Native American History Month Workshop reminders- 11/14 & 11/18

Yuk Tunal, Everyone! 

The Office of DEIA would like to remind everyone of two professional development opportunities coming up!

Nov 14th at 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm in Quiet Dining Room: Storytelling w/ Pamela Seamonster. Pamela Seamonster is a traditional storyteller from the Snohomish tribe and will be joining us for traditional storytelling centering community and collaboration rooted in Indigenous teachings. This professional development opportunity is open to students and will be an indigenous approach to training. Please feel free to bring your lunch! This event is only available in person.  

This is a flyer with an image of the storyteller Pamela Seamonster on it advertising the event being held on 11/14 from 12:30-2:00pm.

Nov 18th @ 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm in the Theater:Our Grandmother The Inlet. This film was created by Kayah George & Jaime Gianopoulos in partnership with “Sacred Trust” which is led by The Tslesil-Waututh Nation. This short film sheds light on the mental health challenges faced by Indigenous youth and the enduring spirit to reclaim their connection to culture, water, and land. Afterwards we will have an opportunity to discuss the film with the directors and continue to grow our own understanding of what our Native students experience.  

This is an image of two indigenous women, one younger and one older lying on their backs head to head. It is advertising the event on Monday 11/18.

Both opportunities are open to both students & community members and will serve as a great way for our teams to learn about Native communities and issues that are close to Native communities & our Native students.  Due to requests from our facilitators these opportunities are in person only to respect the cultural practices.

Best,
