Honoring Indigenous People’s Day: “Being A Good Relative”

Watch the service HERE. How can and should we be “good relatives” to the many Native Americans who have lived for centuries on the land we inhabit? Regardless of our individual and communal heritage, how have we benefitted from living and working on these lands? What are the ethics of land acknowledgements, and what reparations are warranted and potentially achievable? Rev. Robin Landerman Zucker, preaching, with Worship Leader Katie Norris. Music from Mary Reese and a Time for All Ages, “My Powerful Hair,” from Tara Toler. A personal reflection from a member of the Indigenous Community and poetry written by Joy Harjo, the first Native American US Poet Laureate.
