In-Lak'ech Ala K'in: "Tu eres mi otro yo," I am you; you are me.
A Mayan term that explains how the "other" is me and I am the "other" simultaneously. As I care for them, I care for myself and vice-versa.

I am you; you are me." On the National Day of Racial Healing, it is time to reflect on our shared values and create collaboration, reflecting ourselves on the "others." We placed students in front of each other and asked them to identify similarities and differences.

NOTE: This is a video link to be watched at any time. K-5 Students and teachers discuss differences and similarities between each other based on Respect, Empathy, and Love.

The documentary film, "Resurrecting Love" tells the story of two women, one Black, one White who fight for over 20 years to end an illegal 60-year lockout of African-Americans from their family burial grounds in East Texas that challenges descendants still today.

These burial grounds contain the remains of formerly enslaved people. Their descendants want to remember their ancestors properly. Resurrecting Love is a feature length documentary film about their struggle to gain access and the wider history that led to this lock out and about the many other burial grounds around the country that are equally blocked, desecrated, erased.

What does it take to wake up a “sleeping” Indigenous language? How do Indigenous nations keep their cultures and environments thriving? Elisabeth Pierite-Mora and Jean-Luc Pierite, both Tunica-Biloxi and Mississippi Choctaw, will speak on “Indigenous People and Social Change” at Northwestern State University at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 17 in the Lucile Hendrick Room on the first floor of the Student Union. The event is free and open to the public.

During the talk, the speakers will discuss their family and community’s work on language and cultural revitalization and how it impacts their individual work. Pierite-Mora will address stereotypes of Indigenous peoples and the challenges and successes of shifting an endangered language from extinct to awakening. Pierite will speak on his experiences working with the urban Indian community in New England, including legislative advocacy, environmental justice activism and promoting access to technology. Both will share their collaborative work creating new Tunica-Biloxi content through their contribution to Mitoloji Latannyèr/Mythologies Louisianaises, a multimedia exhibit running now through the end of 2024 at Capitol Park Museum in Baton Rouge.

The event is part of National Day of Racial Healing on campus.

“As stated by the National League of Cities, the National Day of Racial Healing began in 2017 as a call to action for racial healing for all people,” said Brittany Broussard, NSU’s director of Campus Climate and Culture. “It is so important for the healing process to hear from members of marginalized groups to be educated on their culture and support the social action causes they fight for.”

The event is sponsored by the Gail Metoyer Jones Center for Inclusion and Diversity, American Indian and Indigenous Studies Minor offered through the School of Social Sciences and Applied Programs and the NSU Native American Student Association .
