September 20: Building Community Through Decolonization with Gerry Ebalaroza-Tunnell
Pacific Indigenous scholar Dr. Gerry Ebalaroza-Tunnell will present "Building Community Through Decolonization" at 7 pm Wednesday, September 20 in person at San Juan Island Library and via Zoom.
Through a personal journey of rediscovery, Dr. G will delve into her ancestry, confront internalized oppression, and provide a roadmap for decolonization. Drawing upon the theories of the colonized mind, she will demonstrate how the events of colonization continue to shape our present and how our everyday choices can pave the way for our future.
