In attendance: Jackson (secretary), Matt, Salem
Start time: 7:07 PM
- Event Review – We had a movie night with the documentary Gather on Friday night. We had a good turnout, as our community definitely seemed interested in the intersection of Native rights and food politics. The discussion was a little on the slow side, but our audience may still have been absorbing the information of the film. We may have been able to have some Native people in the room, but we accidentally scheduled this on the same date as the second day of the second-annual Otoe-Missouria visit back to Lincoln. We’ll have to watch out for that conflict in future years.
- Calendar of citywide events? – As a continuation of the previous schedule conflict, Matt is interested in helping to build a calendar of other relevant events across the city. This would be a major undertaking, but also a very powerful resource if completed. He will need help compiling all of the events, but has technical skills to help organize this information into a calendar. Jackson suggests that we should probably start with recurring/annual events.
