Join us for this virtual event Giving Thanks Speaker Marathon. From 9 AM to 9 PM on Sunday, November 24, 2024, twelve speakers share their stories of hope, healing, recovery, and sobriety. Indigenous People give thanks by sharing traditional stories and knowledge, honoring the food and the land from which it came. Our gratitude is for the practices of our people and respect for our cultures that have taught us these traditions. This acknowledgment serves to bear witness to our people who thrived on this land prior to its occupation. We take this moment to acknowledge Indigenous People as stewards of the land and recognize this history. Let the healing begin one story at a time.
