We are bringing together leaders in the storytelling, language immersion, traditional food systems and youth leadership to nourish restorative networks and provide pathways for collective Liberation.
This summit is about sharing skills, knowledge and resources with our people that we can employ in our daily lives and fit to our varied situations. Over 50% of our agenda will be dedicated to the cultivation of usable skills in the fields of food sovereignty, arts and media, and language revitalization. This active learning leads to restoration, creating pathways for our people to change our community and our world.

The Inaugural Liberation Summit will host speakers, panels and workshops each day. Thursday will feature an Indigenous Comedy Night, bringing together new and established comedians.
This summit marks a shift from Resilience to Revolution to Restoration. We often celebrate the truly incredible resilience of our Lakota Oyate and of Indigenous peoples of all nations, but we are not stuck in resilience. We are moving towards something more forward-thinking. Revolution is part of our identity. We come from a long line of warriors, healers and leaders who lived and died to ensure that we would still be here all these generations later, singing our songs and speaking our language. This summit is part of us: it is an expression of our responsibility to fight for freedom and find our Liberation.
Thunder Valley CDC approaches Liberation holistically, knowing that many paths must be followed for our collective Liberation. We warmly invite relatives from all Indigenous Nations, engaged allies, and everyone who is committed to our shared Liberation.
