Fyi to all emerging and established shamans! We would like to invite you to The 10th Annual Widening the Circle Indigenous Education Symposium. This year, Widening the Circle will take place on November 7-9, 2013 in La Crosse, WI. We hope that you can help us make Widening the Circle a success this year. The symposium seeks to be a resource for educators and gives participants the opportunity to meet Native and Hmong elders and educators, build relationships, provide a solid resource base to learn about Native and Hmong cultures, contemporary and historical issues, sovereignty, Indigenous educational practices, identify bias, privilege and stereotypes and authenticate resources to infuse a more meaningful and inclusive curriculum within a context of critical multicultural pedagogy to address problems in education and current issues. This is an extremely important symposium for educators in Wisconsin and Minnesota and great professional development opportunity. Especially with recent attacks on education, this symposium becomes even more important for current and future educators to meet the educational standards and goals of the states, a changing demographic and to be better more critical teachers in an increasingly diverse classroom. We ask that you please help us let teachers, students, and community members know about this important educational forum by forwarding this message and the attached flyer to your contacts. If you have any questions regarding the conference or distribution please contact us at indigenouseducation@gmail or our symposium coordinators Mai Xiong at iammai.xiong@gmail or Tracy Littlejohn at hinuga1@aol. You can also visit us at act31.weebly/. Thank you for your assistance with this important educational initiative. In Solidarity, Tracy Littlejohn 608-317-3664 hinuga1@aol Mai Xiong 608-433-6953 iammai.xiong@gmail
