Reaffirming Our Commitments to Native American and Indigenous Peoples: Virtual Workshop and Community Conversation

This event is held virtually via Zoom. Registration is required. Register for this event. 

Inclusive Excellence invites all Salem State faculty, staff, and students to a two-part workshop and community conversation dedicated to deepening our understanding, allyship, and commitment to our Native American and Indigenous community members and neighbors. This interactive virtual session will provide an opportunity to reflect on our shared responsibilities toward Indigenous peoples at Salem State and beyond.

Part 1: Allyship Workshop

In the first hour, join Inclusive Excellence and our partners at CultureAlly for a one-hour live-learning workshop that will discuss the history of Native American peoples nationally and locally, the ongoing impacts of colonization and residential schools, and what actions you can take to be a better ally.

Part 2: Assessing and Reaffirming Our Commitments to Our Indigenous Communities

Immediately following the workshop will be a 30-minute community discussion about Salem State’s commitments to our Native American and Indigenous community members and neighbors. Together, we’ll discuss strategies for continued collaboration, including how we as a community can authentically support Native and Indigenous peoples' needs within and beyond the university.



We encourage everyone in the SSU community to participate in this conversation as we work to understand our collective roles and responsibilities in advancing equity and inclusion for all.

To join this virtual event, please register via Zoom.
