Come to a gathering center on connection, learning and shared care, hosted in collaboration with the UCLA American Indian Studies Center. The afternoon will bring together community members, artists, educators and advocates to reflect on the work of the American Indian Studies Center’s BRAID Program (Books & Resources for American Indians in Detention).

The program will feature reflections from American Indian community members with lived experience of incarceration, alongside Shannon Rivers, Native American spiritual leader, human rights activist, and cultural advisor. Speakers will share insights into cultural continuity, healing, and the role of knowledge-sharing as a form of care.
