IWD 10:00AM – 10:30 AM Lynn Feinerman (Women Rising Radio): Indigenous Women Imagine Rematriation

Three indigenous North American leaders present the idea of Rematriation – at a time when mass graves of Native children are being unearthed on the grounds of what were hundreds of “residential schools” that were designed to destroy the identity, beliefs and morale of those children. Louise Mama Bear Herne, Michelle Schenandoah and Katsitsionni Fox report on their encounter with the Vatican over that issue, and describe a worldwide movement toward reinstating women’s political, social and spiritual power.
