Making Contact for November 27, 2007
9:30 PM - 10:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "The Gathering: A Modern Thanksgiving Story"
At Thanksgiving, as we in the United States gather to celebrate the "first" ceremonial sharing between Native Peoples and the arriving European Peoples, it might be a good time to hear another telling of this story; to imagine a different kind of Thanksgiving gathering.
For several years, Native Americans and Non-Native Americans have gathered in Main to discuss meaningful ways of living together on common land an rectifying relationships between First Nation and North American peoples. These gatherings center on shaping clearer understandings of history an contemporary politics in the life of First Nation Peoples living in Maine's bio-region.
Utilizing voices and perspectives rarely heard in media, Making Contact focuses on the human realities of politics, the connections between local and global events, and creative possibilities for people to engage in hopeful democratic change. Supported by independent funding sources, Making Contact is free to explore corporate connections to national and international policies.
