An Evening with Maka Black Elk - 11/2/2022

What does it mean for the Catholic Church to engage in the truth and reconciliation process when it has been the source of historic harm? How does a community begin to heal from generational historic trauma and the lasting impacts of systemic racism? Join
Maka Black Elk as he discusses his work in Truth and Healing at Maȟpiya Luta - Red Cloud on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Maȟpiya Luta was formerly known as Holy Rosary Mission and served as an Indian Boarding school when it first opened its doors in 1888. Maka will describe the truth and healing process they have undertaken and explore the deeper questions these processes reveal for the Catholic Church and the reckoning it faces as a remnant of colonial violence.
