The legacy of trauma leaves intergenerational effects that are felt by individuals across and within social and cultural communities. Explore what intergenerational and inherited trauma means for Indigenous organizers working to end youth homelessness in the imperial, settler colony that is the United States, and what meaningful camaraderie and collaboration means for self-identified allies. Hear thought leaders unpack the historical traumas and systemic oppressions that inform today’s rural homelessness crisis, and what liberation looks like for Indigenous young people who are experiencing some of the highest levels of housing instability in the country.
