You. Hi, I'm Michelle Angu Dobbs. I've been lucky enough to be on the Native American bearing witness retreat since 2016, and I share all my gratitude with all of those people that have been on that retreat and who have helped facilitate that retreat and, and especially to our Lakota relatives, and also to the mice and the birds and the chipmunks and the spiders and all the eagles and moose that we've met along the way. Trying to put into words what the retreat has meant to me, I think that it has opened my eyes to the reality of the effects of 300 years of american colonialism and genocide on the native people, specifically on the Lakota, also on the Shinnecock and Montauk people where I live, on Long island and all throughout our country and the world. And by offering the opportunity to hear and see and be with native elders and youngsters and hear their stories, it's been much more immersive than any other way that I could learn about that. And it's been heart opening to be exposed to other ways of being and seeing the world. It's something in Zen also to relearn, to see the world directly, to be with people who live that way, is really moving. And the community that's grown around the retreat has been a wonderful family, and mostly the real reason.
