September 2023 Cohort Begins
IRC is a group of faith communities working towards Indigenous reparations in their communities or would like to start. This is an 8-month cohort dedicated to reparative action with Indigenous Peoples. Throughout the cohort, congregations will meet monthly on Zoom to receive educational opportunities, check-ins on work happening, and ongoing support.
Ready to Take the Next Steps Toward Reparations?
I'm excited to announce the launch of the Indigenous Cohort, a new program that provides resources and support to faith communities, schools, and organizations that are committed to education, solidarity, and reparative action alongside Indigenous Peoples.

How I Speak- Wóyaka
Native American culture is known for our rich oral tradition - instead of using a written language to document our history, we rely upon our verbal language to share our history, customs, rituals, healing, and legends through vivid narratives. When a story is told, it breathes life, brings meaning, teaches life lessons, and creates a symbolic connection to all listening.
Areas of Wisdom - Wokšapé
Kelly speaks on topics of Faith, Spirituality and Theology, Justice, Trauma and Healing, Cultural Awareness, Healing Practice.
Sermons & Presentations -
Wóglaka
Kelly works with each context to respect that the mission and vision of the requestor are being met. If the request is a keynote presentation, class, sermon, small group facilitation, workshop or panel, Kelly will utilize her wisdom to create an experience that brings about an inclusive, thought-provoking time that incorporates a sacred way of discernment that can help attendees reflect into one's own life.
Writing - Wówapi
Kelly's writing captures her lived experience as a Native American which enables her to reach others through her writing with humor, warmth, transparency, and strength. Kelly will create writing that offers the reader an opportunity for deep reflection and inspiration for change.
Healing - Owašté
Kelly is honored to share the lessons and wisdom of healing practices that have been carried down to her through generations of ancestors and God our Creator. Together we will create a healing space that may not eliminate the difficult moments, but change how we approach them.
Volunteer Chaplains started as a request to bring Twin Cities faith leaders together who were culturally aware, trauma informed and intentionally present after the murder of George Floyd. We will be holding a Talking Circle & Debrief. Please click the link above (on the people) to sign up.
