Anthony Gonzalez, Executive Director of AIM West, former Executive Director of the International Indian Treaty Council.

Tony will discuss his work with the International Indian Treaty Council which was instrumental in drawing up the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and ensuring its implementation. He will also talk about AIM-West’s work to raise awareness on issues that concern or impact Indians of the Americas ranging from racism in sports and public schools, to protection of sacred sites and implementation of the UN “Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.”    https://www.aim-west.org/     Host: Daniel O’Keefe

For over 50 years, the Sunday Forum lecture series has showcased provocative, sometimes controversial, speakers discussing topical issues of the day: politics, the environment, health issues, the arts, education, and more. The Sunday Forum is held online via Zoom and YouTube Live at 11:00 a.m. during the regular church year. Speakers give a 45-minute presentation, followed by questions and brief comments from the audience. The content of Forum lectures does not necessarily express the viewpoint of First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, but are meant to offer thoughtful topics which our members often pursue further on their own.
