Hidden Landscapes Film Showings (in Western Massachusetts)
https://nolumbekaproject.org
The Hidden Landscape Project represents the joined efforts of professional, Native, and antiquarian researchers who have generously volunteered to combine their expertise into a chronicle of research- a series of video stories that investigate the archaeological history and the modern legacy of the Northeastern Native civilization. The combined vision of so many researchers working together also represents a new approach to the long standing and often very heated controversy that surrounds the ceremonial stone landscapes of North America. Join Doug Harris, Ceremonial Stone Landscapes researcher, Ted Timreck, director of the Hidden Landscapes films, and guest panelists for a five- part series featuring the films, panel discussions, and Q & A. This series is co-sponsored by the Nolumbeka Project, River Valley Co-op, and the Karuna Center for Peace Building and a grant from the Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities. Registration is required and limited to 500. Donations are requested. Pre-screenings are available for a fee at www.twtimreck.com

Exploring Racism, Colonization, and other Distortions of Thought
Online course with Sherri Mitchell, Esq. and Dr. Darren Ranco.
An incredible opportunity to go in-depth with two well-respected Indigenous scholars on issues of racism, colonization, and other distortions of thought that frame our broken systems and wounded
