We create, host, and promote artistic events that draw on our history as the first and most powerful stewards of this nation, building a coalition of individuals and communities that use art, laughter, conversation, and collaborative creativity to heal and transform society one story at a time. IN Equality/Flower Power - d) Repair Community Circles. Our American Indian led, multicultural collective is creating a culturally-rooted Reparative Community Circles to counter the current model of justice, which pits institutions against individuals, prioritizes punitive and ill-considered judgements, circumvents and excludes community voice, and creates a divide between our people and the government at the expense of community well-being. Our team includes respected traditional Dakota healers as well as clinicians, lawyers, and other practitioners who combine a firmly-rooted cultural presence with a deep understanding of the current criminal justice system and how it functions as an instrument of social and political control for Native peoples, African Americans, and communities of color) Flower Power - Guiding participatory public arts activism that honors and memorializes those affected by the prison industrial complex; raises awareness of the damage being done to air, earth, and water; and creates connections, truth, and healing.
