Indigenous Peoples' Day
JIMI TWO FEATHERS
"Occupation, Decolonization and the Struggles of Native Peoples"

Jimi Two Feathers will help us consider the language of "occupation" in
light of the history of native peoples on this continent. What next steps
might be available to us, in light of the expressions of solidarity of some
groups of indigenous people with the Occupy Movement, and of various Occupys
with indigenous people, notwithstanding the problematic nature of the
language prevalent in and about the current movement?

Jimi Two Feathers a skilled facilitator and teacher who has been drumming
and dancing for over thirty years. He has been involved with Occupy Boston's
People of Color and Anti-Oppression Working Groups, and is a founder of
Earth Drum Council, a group that organizes workshops/events featuring drum
and dance teachers of many diverse traditions and focuses on drumming as a
tool for healing, community-building, cultural awareness, and personal
growth.
