It is a partnership between Interfaith Action’s Department of Indian Work and the Montessori American Indian Childcare Center. We created a new tool called the 7 Generations Plan, which helps Hub families work with their family coach to set goals and develop realistic action plans to achieve their goals. The Indigenous worldview of 7 Generations recognizes the things that happened to our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents that have led to the intergenerational poverty and trauma and resilience our families experience today. We also use the concept of 7 Generations to help families plan and work toward things that will benefit their children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren. Come learn more about this tool and how you can use it in your work! Workshop Session IV 2:00pm - 4:00pm
