To celebrate Indigenous Peoples Month, we are releasing the bulletin in honor of Indigenous peoples in the Miss Porter’s community and throughout the world. We aim to uplift their voices and stories through the story of Tallash Sarfo-Mensah who shares their experiences with Indigeneity, the two-spirit identity, and the stories they were passed down. In addition, the bulletin will discuss the cultural practices and traditions among the Indigenous communities which include story-telling and
the sport of lacrosse; the history behind Indigenous People’s Day; Indigenous People in visual art and how their identities are represented; and the use of traditional medicine in many Indigenous communities throughout the United States. We would like to thank this month’s guest writer, Tallash Sarfo-Mensah, for their contributions to this edition of the bulletin. We hope you all enjoy reading and have a great Indigenous Peoples Month!
