What: YoloSol and the Seeds of Justice Program of St. Martin’s Church will host three sessions to discuss the book, Know We Are Here: Voices of Native California Resistance, edited with an introduction by Terria Smith (a tribal member of the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians), who is editor for the quarterly magazine, News From Native California.
The Seeds of Justice learning community started in 2021 as a project of St. Martin’s Church to learn and study the racialized history of the land in Yolo County, Wintun homeland.
We will meet once a month on Tuesdays to reflect on how these stories shape our understanding of the Native Californian past, shed light on our current climate crisis, and
might suggest pathways to a restorative future for the web of life here in the Yolo bioregion.
A limited number of copies of the book will be available for circulation. We encourage our community to support the authors and independent publisher Heyday by purchasing the book directly from them: https://heydaybooks.com/catalog/know-we-are-here/
"The collection examines histories of resistance to colonialism in California, the reclaiming of cultures and languages, the connection of place and nature to wellness in tribal communities, efforts to overhaul the racist presentation of California Indians in classrooms and popular culture, and the meanings of solidarity in Native California." - from the publisher's website
