This month, join all of us at Morningside Center to learn together in gratitude for all that Indigenous Peoples from the lands of the Eagle and the Condor provide. We urge you to consider these fantastic lessons about Native peoples FROM Native peoples, and enrich your libraries (home and school!) with beautiful books from First Nations authors AND publishers!

Circles are a container for so much that Morningside Center does. From my first day as the new writer at Morningside, it was clear that they are foundational to our work, but as someone who had never been in a Circle I really needed to know: exactly what is a Circle? And why are they so foundational? Thus began my journey to learn how Morningside practices, teaches and continues to improve how we facilitate Circles across SEL, restorative practices and racial equity.

We at Morningside Center invite you to both honor Native and Indigenous communities, wisdom and history and remember the joy and genius of First Nations and Cultures. Below we share commitments, learnings and event opportunities as we shine a light on the Lenape Center.
