Let's continue the conversation! MAE members are encouraged to share their thoughts, feelings, hopes, desires, questions, and experiences working with, and in support of, Indigenous communities and decolonization efforts, and in particular, as an “outsider” or “bilagáana. This session is an opportunity to "relate" to each other on tough topics in a safe space.
