Transitional Justice in the USA
In recognition of Native American Heritage Month, the first panel in Part II of our Transitional Justice in the USA Speakers Series will take place Wednesday, November 3, from 12:00 - 1:30 pm EST online via Zoom. We hope you'll join us.
This panel will focus on past and recent truth initiatives on the forced assimilation of Native children through boarding schools and the child welfare system. Indigenous leaders will reflect on the experience of the Maine Wabanaki-Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the Federal bill to create a national truth commission, and the official investigations launched by the Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland this past summer, upon the revelation of mass graves located at boarding schools. The panel will explore how to open the way to transformative justice, overcoming standardized or colonized transitional justice models. The panel is convened in recognition of Native American Heritage Month.
