The Loss of Turtle Island is a participatory learning experience that depicts the historic relationship between European settlers — including Mennonites — and the Indigenous nations, the original inhabitants, of the land we now call the United States of America.

Blankets represent the land and participants represent distinct Indigenous nations who experience colonization, genocide, broken treaties, forced removal, assimilation and termination — all in the spirit of the Doctrine of Discovery.

Join us for this free learning experience on Monday, January 27 from 9-11:30 a.m. EST at Pleasant View Church. No registration required.
