Working with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Lianna served as the Chair for the Center for Native Health, Inc. and the Chair of the Cherokee Healing and Wellness Coalition.

By attending, participants will learn about the indigenous people whose story is a part of this land. We will hear an indigenous perspective on the honoring of Indigenous People’s Day and consider various steps in the journey of native solidarity.

DSAEC is a creative laboratory, learning center, farm, an experiment in regenerative landcare, place of art and ceremony, and community space for healing. We are actively developing skills for creating a just and restorative culture and gather in service to our watershed, in honor of our ancestors, and on behalf of future generations. We weave arts and ecology to foster diversity, build reciprocity with the land, promote spiritual connection, and propagate sustainable futures.
