<\/p>\r\nFrom the first contact with European invaders, Indigenous reproductive systems, matrilineal, and multi-gendered ways have been systematically attacked with attempts to dismantle our traditions through over 500 years of on-going genocide. \r\n

<\/p>\r\nPresented by Crushing Colonialism, The Three Rs: Realize, Recognize, & Reconciliation<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is a unique opportunity to learn directly from a diverse group of Indigenous people who are living under and fighting against the violent realities of settler colonialism. Topics covered will include the crisis of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirits, environmental justice, healthcare disparities, theft of Indigenous children by the state, and what decolonization and tribal sovereignty truly look like. \r\n

<\/p>\r\nThe Three Rs<\/strong><\/em> was originally scheduled to be held on occupied Piscataway land known as Washington, D.C., but due to the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a> and its particularly devastating impacts on Indigenous communities this event will now be held virtually from November 16-20, 2020. Each day will feature a different reproductive justice related topic.\r\n
