In recognition of Native American Heritage Month, we invite you to a virtual presentation by Stephanie Bad Soldier Snow entitled, “Coming Home: Food Sovereignty and Healing Trauma,” on Thursday, November 18, at noon CST. November is designated as Native American Heritage Month in order to better understand the rich cultural traditions and the residual impact of social injustices experienced by Native Americans in the U.S. and Iowa.
