SUMMARY:Cultural Appropriation and Spiritual Genocide | Interfaith Committee Special Presentation
DESCRIPTION:We invite the members of The Troth to join us for a special presentation brought to you by the Interfaith Committee on Cultural Appropriation and Spiritual Genocide.\n \nCultural Appropriation is a difficult topic in Pagan spaces. On the one hand\, it’s difficult because there are many vested interests in obscuring its meaning and minimizing its impact on other faiths; on the other hand\, it’s can be used as a weapon by white people to destroy other white people. \nThe Troth isn’t immune from this. Many members\, even those who have held offices with The Troth\, have been accused of cultural appropriation. But what does that mean? And are we centering the experiences of those whose cultural is being appropriated? \nIn order to create good policy for our organization and our members\, we need to have the conversation to explore this topic by understanding its real impact on religious communities. \nIn this presentation\, livestreamed with Q&A for Troth Members only (and recorded and broadcast to the general public)\, we will all learn about what Cultural Appropriation is\, why some refer to it as Spiritual Genocide\, and what interfaith opportunities exist to restore trust and solidarity with Indigenous Religions.\nWe will go through real examples of this Spiritual Genocide\, Cultural Appropriation and talk about how each effects Indigenous religious communities. We will talk about some general principles of what to avoid when encountering Indigenous faith traditions. Finally\, we will talk about how we support our Indigenous friends and neighbors and their quest to restore their religious traditions\, defend their treaty rights and join their struggle for human rights. \nAs this event has to do with sensitive subject matter\, we will have a closed members only audience for the live broadcast and the Q&A session\, but as it’s also important subject matter for the general community\, we will be sure to record it for public viewing. \nPresented by:\n \nSheldon Noel\nLanguage teacher\, Professor\, Pipe Carrier\, Spiritual and Cultural teacher\nSheldon has addressed cultural sensitivity for politicians\, corporations and community members. Speaking at public and private events around the twin cities and around the world. Sheldon has given voice to the struggle and teachings of his people.\nShane Orthmann\nGothi with Daughters and Sons of Yta\nApart from his place in the twin cities heathen community Shane grew up as hereditary Sami with family teachings and worldview. He is currently a member of the North American Sami Siida. He came up as part of Anti-Racist Action\, an anti fascist street movement from the 1990’s. He participated in struggle as a member of Earth First! alongside the American Indian Movement in Minneapolis. As a heathen he has been invited to participate in discussion around decolonizing White Identity.

SUMMARY:Heathenry Essentials Study Group
DESCRIPTION:4 November\, 2023 – 4:00 PM UTC– 4 November\, 2023 – 6:00 PM UTC\n2 December\, 2023 – 4:00 PM UTC– 2 December\, 2023 – 6:00 PM UTC\n6 January\, 2024 – 4:00 PM UTC– 6 January\, 2024 – 6:00 PM UTC\n\nAbout the Heathenry Essentials Study Chats\n\n\n\nWelcome to Heathenry (also known as Asatru). \nPerhaps you are beginning your journey as a Heathen. You may have friends or family that have become Heathen and you’d like to know more about it. It is our hope that\, as you work through the readings\, essays\, and sample questions\, you will develop a fuller understanding of Asatru and what it means to be Heathen in a modern context. This is a free resource available to the public as part of our continuing mission to educate and to serve. You can take this course without a membership in The Troth so that you can learn more about the basics of our faith. \nHow the Heathenry Essentials Study Chat Works\nThe first 60 to 90 min will be a discussion of the current subject chosen by those who attend the chat\, focused on the area of their interest. \nThis part will be recorded.  After the focused study chat\, the remaining time will be open for social hour. This part is not required to attend for participation in the study group\, you can drop off if you’d like.  This portion will not be recorded.  If being recorded causes privacy to be a concern\, feel free to join with the video blocked\, or an attendee can put up a neutral picture in their free Zoom account. Attendees can change their names to a code name and use the chat feature if speaking and having their voice heard or recorded may be a concern. \nBy joining the zoom meeting for the chat part\, you are consenting and agreeing that you are aware the zoom chat will be recorded and posted to YouTube for students in the program. By joining\, you are demonstrating that you consent to this. \nAll who join the room first enter the waiting room and then are admitted into the zoom room by the host. Upon entering the waiting room\, each attendee is auto-set to join with their video and mic turned off so they can choose how they wish to present themselves. (To set their video/picture choices manually). This is also done in case when people who enter the chat after the start time can still join without disturbing the class. A student can join the chat/social at any time while the zoom room is open and active. \nIf not speaking\, please keep your microphone muted. This keeps background noise down and stops switching of the focus of the video off the speaker. Those leaving their mic on and having background noise disturbing the chat will first be requested to turn off-mic; the host may and will mute those who do not comply. For repeated offenses\, the person will be removed from the chat by the host. \nAll entering the chats agree to comply with The Troth’s position on Frith and inclusiveness:\n “The Troth takes great pride in being an organization that welcomes all people without judging them. We believe that no matter what a person’s religious or cultural background\, ancestral background\, physical ability\, gender identity\, or sexual orientation may be if the Gods and Goddesses called to them\, they are welcome.”  \nUnless actively speaking\, please keep your mic muted. \nThis course is taught in English. \nIf any questions\, please email heathenessentials@thetroth.org \nFor Troth Members: there is a Discord chat for the Heathen Essentials Study Group on the Troth Discord to continue conversations\, ask questions\, and have a study community. \nFor non-Troth Members: There is a voluntary mailing list for the Heathen Essentials Study Group to continue conversations\, ask questions\, and have a study community. Troth members who prefer not to use discord may also join the mailing list. \nAdd this recurring event to your calendar\nPlease download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system.
