Beyond Land Acknowledgments
With Patricia Tarrant, Executive Director, American Indian Community House.
The American Indian Community House (AICH) was founded in 1969 by Native American volunteers as a community-based organization whose mission is to improve and promote the well-being of the American Indian Community and to increase the visibility of American Indian cultures in an urban setting in order to cultivate awareness, understanding and respect. AICH membership is currently composed of Native Americans from 72 different tribes. Native American migration between urban centers and reservations demonstrates the inter-relatedness of all Native Americans, and from this reality emerges the recognition that our issues and concerns are truly shared.
With music by DuPree and Barry Kornhauser.
Sunday, November 15 at 11am at Brooklyn Ethical, 269 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
