How Do We Honor Indigenous People?
Presented by Adeline Ralston Bailey, and two other guest speakers.

“Are they here—the dead of other days?—and did the dust of these fair
solitudes once stir with life and burn with passion? Let the mighty mounds
that overlook the rivers, or that rise in the dim forest crowded with old
oaks, answer. A race, hat long has passed away, built them.” —William
Cullen Bryant, excerpt from “The Prairies” (1832)

Welcome Song    “Whoever You Are, We Welcome You”         Hal Walker

Whoever you are, we welcome you.

Wherever you come from, we welcome you.

Whomever you love, we welcome you.
