Evan will expand on themes of “trust” from his landmark talk “Circles of Trust” given at St. Mary’s Church in Harlem, last November. He will talk about traditional Algonquin Way of the Heron,” as well as contemporary social movements including “Idle No More” in Canada, and the Two Row Wampum Renewal Campaign in New York State. The service will be followed by a “talk-back” Q and A session.
