The experience of life holds with it the inevitable experience of trauma. It comes from no specific angle, intergenerational, sexual, identity-based, family-based, but always has the same, consistent result: it hardens any that it comes into contact with. This moment of encounter(s) alters the body, which then molds itself in an attempt to re-shape, re-create, and re-define what it means to "be" after a traumatic experience. While perserverance thereafter can encourage strength, it can also forestall healing.
Join the Multicultural Community Center on Tuesday, March 8th as we open a discussion around trauma and the practice of self-care. While we acknowledge that the concept of healing is an arduous process with no fixed end date, we want to create a space where the first steps can be taken to explore useful tools towards self-care, a vital ingredient to thrive.

Annual Perspectives on Contemporary Native Issues Symposium
Traditional Knowledge in Contemporary Contexts
February 26, 2016
Multicultural Community Center
220 Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union
University of California, Berkeley
While the history between Native peoples and representations of identity projected upon them (having been replicated and reinforced in popular culture) is layered and complex, the rise of technology and social media has ushered in an era of accessible activism that pushes against this history. Native peoples across the world now have practicable, highly visible modes to express unique voices that challenge and redefine how Natives are represented both internal and external of their communities. Traditional Knowledge in Contemporary Contexts seeks to highlight the multiple contexts through which representations of Native communities, culture and individuals are being shifted and reimagined.
Keynote speakers:
Leroy Little Bear
Dr. Cutcha Risling Baldy
Students can attend without charge, please contact us for the promotional code
