52 Ways to Reconcile
How to Walk with Indigenous Peoples on the Path to Healing
We’ve got an excellent resource to share with you weekly. It is for everyone who ever asked “What can I do to advance reconcilation towards Native Peoples?” The book is written by David A. Robertson and is available on The Outdoor Learning School & Store. www.outdoorlearning.com
We are on the path to help restore health to the planet and to all peoples on this planet. This path is based on 3 Rs:
Rooted in Land Based
Responsibility Based
Relationship Based
Week #1
Support Indigenous Media
We want Indigenous people’s voices to be equitably represented in all areas, from graphic design to social media, movies, books, news, etc.

Movies to Watch
The Eternal Song
The Eternal Song is just the beginning. It is the first step in a 12-film journey through diverse Indigenous lineages across the world.
It is a prayer for remembering and an invocation of Earth’s deeper rhythms.
“Our job, our responsibility, as many of native peoples know, is about how we learn to have peace with Earth. Not peace on Earth, but peace with Earth.”
— Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Cheyenne River Lakota Nation
We invite you to walk with us through the depths of our collective past, into the ruptures of historical trauma, and toward pathways of relational healing.
Additional Indigenous Movies to Watch
Becoming “Subjects” in movies instead of “Objects”
For over a century, Native Americans have been the objects of film, their likeness projected onto screens, capturing the world’s attention with their buckskinned form, and giving John Wayne something to do with his career. But it wasn’t until they moved behind the camera, becoming producers, writers, and directors, that they truly became subjects of great works of cinema.

Fancy Dance
