Palestine is Turtle Island: Indigenous Organizing to End Occupation

Native delegates from a recent delegation to Palestine will share the relationships between Indigenous struggle in the U.S/Turtle Island and in Palestine. This workshop uses multimedia to explore history, oppression and resistance. We will also share how delegation partners have been using media/culture/art to do joint education and organizing with Palestinian youth refugees.

(This workshop is geared towards youth and youth organizers/educators).
