Oct. 14th, 2026: NACRJ Indigenous Peacemaking Through a Dakota Lens
Nacikinžiŋpi (“standing up again”) peacemaking system. Peacemaking will be presented not as a technique or intervention, but as a relational way of being rooted in Dakota language, values, kinship, and land. Participants will reflect on the difference between resolving conflict and restoring balance, the role of elders and community accountability, and how land teaches us.
Participants will explore how to:
• Understand Dakota peacemaking as relationship-centered governance, not a scripted practice.
• Explore how elders, language, and land function as active sources of guidance in healing processes.
• Consider how Indigenous frameworks can be engaged in institutional settings without extraction.
