The MU PATH

Pathways to Action, Truth, and Healing (PATH) is a contemplative, educational space and circuit on campus that centers local Indigenous histories and cultures, with a focus on Indigenous practices of caring for the environment.

• We seek to explore how respectful engagement with the natural world fosters harmony and connection between people and land and strengthens the health and wellbeing of all.
• PATH not only involves telling the truth about past and ongoing harms to Indigenous peoples and communities but also features Indigenous artists, authors, and organizations.
• The PATH site in the library will showcase the artwork of two Cherokee artists, Weeya Calif and Martha Berry, alongside a display of books, including An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz, #NotYourPrincess: Voices of Native American Women edited by Lisa Charleyboy and Mary Beth Leatherdale, Skysisters by Jan Bourdeau Waboose, and We Are Water Protectors by Carol Lindstrom.
• Each site of the PATH will be marked by a sign that includes a LEARN MORE/CALL TO ACTION QR code that links visitors to a list of educational materials and recommended actions to support the work of Native organizations, movements, artists, authors, and communities.

The PATH is coming soon! Please stay tuned.
