Knowledge Carriers: A Conversation Geraldine Standup (Mohawk Elder)

Geraldine Standup is a Kanien:keha'ka Elder (Mohawk), Bear Clan, and Traditional Healer. She is a first language speaker, and spent a large part of her life dedicated to bringing language and Indigenous education back to her community. In this live webinar featuring Tahila Moss (Yoeme, Jewish), we will learn how Geraldine connects with the living world in her Healing traditions – cedar, soil, water, sage, and fire. She will teach us about the importance of practicing gratitude, finding balance during times of transition, and understanding our place in the world.

You can register to view the live webinar in person in the Nevin Welcome Center, or via Zoom. For those attending in person, light refreshments will be served and there will be a half hour community discussion following the end of the virtual conversation.

There are three payment options, for both in-person and Zoom participants: $5, $10, or $15.
