Winter Talk 2015
The second annual Winter Talk is a three day conversation on the Christian Doctrine of Discovery (DOD) and its influence on Christian theology and polity, with an emphasis on the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) relationship with Indigenous tribes and peoples. Hosted by Landscape Mending and Philips Theological Seminary, Winter Talk is dedicated to furthering the conversation on the Christian Doctrine of Discovery and its dismantling.
Winter Talk is an important time for American Indians and non-Indians, to gather and eat, learn, and talk about the Christian Doctrine of Discovery. This is a space of accountability to American Indians where the Indian voice is the principle voice in an exploration of the past, an understanding of the present, and a visioning of the future.
2015 Speaker:
Dr. Richard Grounds is a Euchee member and heads the Euchee Language Project. In 2013 the Oklahoma Humanities Council awarded Dr. Grounds the Humanities in Education Award. Few people speak Euchee and Dr. Grounds believes "breath-to-breath immersion, the exposure of new speakers to Euchee in conversational and cultural contexts" the best way to preserve the Euchee language.
Dr. Grounds is one of few Euchee speakers in the world. He brings his insights on the genocide of language to the conversation on the Christian Doctrine of Discovery. Dr. Grounds will help attendees become more fully aware of how and why the Christian Doctrine of Discovery has worked to remove all aspects of American indigenous language from the North American landscape.
Flint Talk is new to Winter Talk. Flint talks are 2 to 3 minutes to speak to any subject the speaker believes important to the wellbeing of the landscape and her people. Flint is known for its ability to be knapped and the sharp edged tools created, as well as sparks created when struck by steel. Flint Talks may be as sharp and bright as the speaker the likes. If time allows, conversation will arise from a flint talk or two. If you are interested in presenting a Flint Talk, please indicate belowwe would love to have your voice!
Winter Talk honors the season of winter. The harvest is long past and spring soon to come. Winter is a time to think, tell stories, and eat. Winter Talk is a moment to come together as community and talk, eat, create new relationships, and then talk some more, eat some more, and come to know our new relations. Join the people of our landscape, renew old relationships and create new ones!
