Saturday, July 27th, 1-5:30PM

We are a community of Indigenous womxn and femme people who gather on Lenni Lenape land to honor each other and our relatives through art, activism, education, and representation. We, as matriarchs and knowledge keepers, center our intersectional narratives by practicing accountability and self-determination. We uplift intergenerational Native voices and welcome mixed race, non-enrolled, Indigenous femme, non-binary, trans, two-spirit people.  We denounce colonial power structures of leadership and blood quantum. We are circular and work in harmony with each other. 
Join us throughout the day as the Indigenous Kinship Collective host a series of events and forums this will be happening in conjunction to the closing weekend for the exhibit:

2PMPanel: Sustainability in Fashion & Lifestyle with Korina Emmerich and Jolene Chee Fashion designers, Jolene Chee (Diné) and founder of EMME, Korina Emmerich (Puyallup) discuss the importance of Indigenous Representation in the fashion industry. We will discuss goals to reframe the fashion industry and open people’s eyes to the detriment of fast fashion consumption- and its effect on the earth and people. Decolonizing the fashion industry using Indigenous expertise to promote slow fashion, biodegradable materials, ethical consumption, fair trade and wages globally. 
We will also discuss Cultural Appropriation in the fashion industry and a call for accountability, transparency and authenticity. As Indigenous designers we are giving ourselves a platform to promote healthy representation of native people and modernizing traditional apparel practices. We are the first fashion designers.

3PM Panel: Representation Matters, but Good Representation Matters More A conversation with Stina Hamlin (Cherokee/Choctaw/Irish), Tanis Parenteau(Métis-Cree/Sioux),and  Irene Villasenor (Ifugao/Aeta/Purépecha/Chinese). The erasure of Indigenous people from this land has gone on for far too long. We are still here and need to be acknowledged. Having no representation in media directly harms our communities, breeds racist stereotypes, and continues the genocide of our cultures and people. Be part of the solution. Come and listen to our ideas about more representation, projects that we are working on and how to be a true ally and accomplice.
