Recognizing and Interrupting Microaggressions Presented by Stephanie Trujillo Originally recorded on October 6, 2023 This presentation will explore microaggressions and how to recognize and interrupt them. Words and phrases have an impact whether you “mean” it or not. Many parts of the English language are rooted in racism, sexism, ageism, and other forms of discrimination, all of which must be unlearned. Generally, we all should become more aware of microaggressions, but there should be special attention to and awareness in professional settings. Creating a more inclusive and culturally competent workplace means that each of us has to explore our own unconscious bias in order to become more aware. Leadership must also correct the various types of workplace microaggressions (behavioral, environmental, and verbal) that occur and be very intentional about shifting the workplace culture.

NFPA Webinar: Navigating the Jurisdictional Maze in Indian Country (05/20/2022) American Indians and Alaska Natives experience rates of violence much higher per capita than those of the general population. One in three American Indian (AI) women are raped in their lifetime and aggravated assault against AI is roughly twice that of the country as a whole. Jurisdictional confusion and public safety complication on tribal lands contribute to these unacceptable rates of violence and are the result of decades of gross underfunding for tribal criminal justice systems and centuries-old neglect of the federal government to fulfill its public safety obligations in Indian country. As a result, federal law has complicated tribal governments’ administration of justice, resulting in the historical pandemic of violence, now known as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement. This presentation will lay out the historical results of colonization that bring us to current day efforts by legislators to Address Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives. Cost is $25 for Members and $50 for Non-Members. This webinar is worth 1.0 DEI CLE Credit.
