University of California San Francisco Give to UCSF

Join us on November 18, 2024, from 12:00-1:00 PM for a webinar featuring Virginia Hedrick, MPH, Executive Director for the California Consortium for Urban Indian Health to celebrate Native American Heritage Month.

In her talk, she will explore restorative justice efforts for California American Indians, examining contemporary examples of reconciliation. The Klamath River dam removal reflects a commitment to restore sacred lands and waterways, honoring Indigenous environmental stewardship. Recent actions, including President Biden’s apology for boarding school injustices and the integration of traditional healing with natural helper services, embody a national shift towards healing historical trauma and empowering tribal sovereignty.
