All native people across the globe seem to be in full agreement with a growing consensus among young people: our system, in its current shape, causes a lot more harm than good. Placing profits over people, it is committed to the destruction and ruthless exploitation of our environment, our labor, and our very souls. There is nothing that is not for sale within global capitalism, including the soul.

We are surrounded by opportunities for both personal and cultural transformation. In this Myth Salon, with the help of Dr. Tellez, Vincent Stanzione, and others, we will explore the histories, narratives, results and problems of colonialism and what we can call \u201cthe colonial gaze,\u201d which is the lens through which much of our contemporary worldview has been constructed.
