Our Projects 

Canoe Journey Support

Learning Right Relations has aided local Tribes hosting Canoe Journeys through volunteering before and during the event, fundraising and contributing blankets designed by Native artists for giveaways. We recently raised funds for the Lummi Nation Blanket Project, in support of Paddle to Lummi 2019.

Acknowledgement of Tribal Territories

Learning Right Relations members worked with the Squaxin Island Tribe to create a formal acknowledgment and corresponding maps of Tribal lands in the Olympia area. LRR is currently working to develop acknowledgement signs to be distributed for use at peoples’ homes, businesses or churches.

Since Time Immemorial

Our Since Time Immemorial (STI) work group works to ensure that this exciting curriculum on Tribal Sovereignty, mandated in 2015 by Governor Inslee, is being taught in K-12 schools across Washington State.

Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery

Learning Right Relations members are advocating for the reversal of the damaging 15th Century papal decrees, which promoted the colonization and exploitation of non-Christian land and the resulting oppression and genocide of Indigenous peoples.

Global Days of Listening

Global Days of Listening, a national chapter of the Fellowship of Reconciliation USA, emerged in 2011, from a relationship with the Afghan of Kabul, Afghanistan. Monthly Gatherings were held internationally on the 21st of each month via the internet until the middle of August, 2021. The GDoL’s annual celebration of the International Day of Peace brought together Native people of the Salish Sea with the general nonnative population from which Learning Right Relations developed in 2015.
