Social Networking Event
Hosted by the Chicago American Indian Community Collaborative, our conference theme this year is Water ways of life: teachings, practices, and knowledge in action. Our relationship with water starts at the beginning of time, in many of our Indigenous creation stories. Water is connected to many teachings in our life. Water surrounds us as our first environment when we are in the womb and we continue to have deep relationships with water throughout our lifetime. Water connects us to the world around us and our responsibilities and relationship to others.
We invite community leaders, knowledge keepers and scholars, students, educators, youth, administrators, helpers and staff of Native American and Indigenous educational programs, organizations and institutions, from Chicago-land (Checagou) and beyond, to join us at the 6th Annual Urban Native Education Conference.
The 2022 Conference Committee will begin with a Social Networking Reception.
