City Indian

Please help us welcome Dr. Karen Kissinger as she presents on her experiences as an Ioway living in the city, discusses the Ioways, addresses cultural appropriation versus appreciation, and provides a safe space to explore culturally offensive terminology. In addition, she will outline the economic development enterprises of her tribe, with a thumbnail sketch of the past, present, and future. 

Dr. Kissinger is a certified Life and Leadership Coach, award winning educator, and former green business owner. As a professional educator Kissinger worked for more than twenty years in secondary education and now continues to teach and coach in the areas of personal growth and leadership.
