The Racial Justice Summit Booklet

Featured Artist: The Summit Community
Featured Film: Sacred Wisdom Sacred Earth
Our Earth is sacred. She is alive. In restoring a relationship of reciprocity and care with her, we heal ourselves and rewrite our future.
We were honored to be trusted as a host for the Madison Premiere and the first non-native audience to view Sacred Wisdom Sacred Earth, at the time, a brand-new documentary by the Loka Initiative, in partnership with Bravebird, UW-Madison's Center for Healthy Minds, and the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council. The documentary unveils the deep connection of Wisconsin’s Native American tribes to the land and waters of the Great Lakes and how that relationship seeds their efforts to restore spiritual, cultural, and environmental resilience.
