Through storytelling and reflection, Clan Mother Piper will share the joys, griefs, wisdom, and spiritual presence experienced by her community in relation to their lands. Participants will gain insights into the deep connections between Indigenous peoples and the earth and consider how to honor and respect these relationships on land trust properties.
