Witness to Injustice<\/strong> is a program of Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation and is unique three-hour interactive group teaching tool. It uses participatory education to foster truth, understanding, and respect between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in the part of the world now known as the United States; especially in the territory stewarded by people of the Onondaga Nation and other Haundenosaunee peoples. It was created in collaboration with KAIROS Blanket Exercise.\u2122<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witness to Injustice and Covid?<\/strong>
During the early days of the Covid Pandemic, NOON worked hard to develop a virtual version of the program (conducted on ZOOM), which seeks to offer as similar as possible an emotional and impactful learning experience. The ZOOM workshop has been well received. Workshops are currently offered either in-person or via Zoom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KAIROS Blanket Exercise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Witness to Injustice \/ KAIROS Blanket Exercise\u2122 is a unique three-hour interactive
group teaching tool. It uses participatory education to foster truth, understanding, and
respect between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in the part of the world now
known as the United States; especially in the territory stewarded by people of the
Onondaga Nation and other Haundenosaunee peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the use of meaningful quotes and blankets that represent part of Turtle Island
(the Western Hemisphere), we explore this shared history that non-native people rarely
learn in school or other settings. The Exercise helps participants deepen their
understanding about the European colonization of Turtle Island and the denial of
Indigenous peoples\u2019 nationhood throughout U.S. history up to present time. After the
Witness to Injustice Exercise, participants have the opportunity to share with the group
what they learned, felt, etc., and, resources are shared by facilitators to help
participants continue to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope this program will stimulate deep discussions and reflections, and will point the
way toward ongoing steps toward righting the wrongs which have been done. Join
Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation (NOON) and Haudenosaunee facilitators as we
participate in learning and dialogue through this exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
