Join Misty Frazier, Executive Director of the Nebraska Indian Child Welfare Coalition, as she presents about historical trauma, what it looks like today and how to shift to healing, recovery, and wellness. Her talk is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. on March 9 in the Peterson Room (LS221), Love Library as one of the events supporting the traveling exhibit, Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of Health and Illness.
