Presenters

Speakers from the Healing Intergenerational Roots (HIR) Wellness Institute – a Milwaukee survivor and women-led matriarchal organization providing the next generation of care to victims of crime and violence.  We seek to learn from our ancestors’ teachings and the ways of governance that worked for the global majority centuries prior to colonization.  We invite our Indigenous roles into colonial spaces.  Our ways are from many different nations and our resilience has always been rooted in the health and wellbeing of our communities while we thrive through social & value-based economies.
