Return to the Earth: Native American Restorative Justice Study

Where:

First Mennonite Church , Urbana

When:

Various dates from Sunday, Jun 14, 2009, to Sunday, Jul 26, 2009

Description:

Held each Sunday morning in June and July from 11:15 to noon. This national ecumenical study offers an overview of Native American spirituality and area history, providing opportunities to discuss the effects and implications of European settlement from a Christian restorative justice perspective. A burial box will be constructed and forwarded to the Smithsonian for use in repatriation of Native remains as an act of reconciliation. It provides a bridge-building opportunity to express respect for our land's original occupants and their descendants. University resources will also provide input.
