Many UCC churches are considering writing Land Acknowledgements as statements of confession regarding Native history and intended repair with Native communities. But often, Land Acknowledgements do more harm than good. Join Rev. Stephanie Perdew, PhD, citizen of the Cherokee Nation and Director of the Damascus Project shared theological education ministry of the Wisconsin and Minnesota Conferences UCC for a presentation on best practices and things to avoid.

Participants are invited to read her article, “On Native Land” in preparation for the evening: https://www.christiancentury.org/article/features/native-land.
