Part 2 Series – Right Relationship

Law and culture. Culture and law. Which comes first, and how are they related? CELDF and partners hosted Truth, Reckoning, and Right Relationship with the Great Lakes Part 1 in the fall of 2023 to wrestle with these questions.

On April 22 and 23, 2024, many of the doctors, lawyers, Indigenous activists, educators, students, religious practitioners, artists, environmental regulators, and community activists – young and old – returned to Cleveland, along with many new participants from an expanded area to reconvene for Part 2.

This powerful two-day gathering not only reflects and grounds us in the truths revealed during Part 1 but then expands further to gain a better understanding to reckon with some hard truths. The attendees moved forward through exploration and connection exercises and workshops, all moving towards right relationship with the Great Lakes, Nature, and each other. This series provides a window into what it will take individually and collectively to change culture and our behavior to create a better world.
