This event will feature the documentary "Basketball, Water, and the Lost City of Elbowoods," which describes how the Garrison Dam flooding on the Fort Berthold Reservation in 1953 continues to harm the health and wellbeing of local Native communities today.
It will be followed by a panel discussion on how understanding historical trauma supports Native communities and how to be more effective in providing culturally-grounded services.

Objectives:
1. To describe the impact of the client’s context (cultural heritage, gender, class, ethnic-racial identity, sexual orientation, disability, age and spirituality) on decision-making, and address the importance of social determinants and community factors on client’s well-being.
2. To identify healing traditions/practices and beliefs, including ethno-medical beliefs.
3. To recognize and identify own potential for bias and stereotyping; explore how attitudes, biases and stereotypes affect encounters, decision making and quality of care; and recognize and describe institutional cultural issues for practitioner’s own institution.
4. To value the importance of curiosity, empathy, and respect client-care and the importance of continuous growth. Ask questions in a non-judgmental manner to elicit preferences, listen and respond appropriately to client feedback about key cross-cultural issues.
5. To describe strategies for reducing your bias as a practitioner, and demonstrate strategies to assess, manage, and reduce bias and its effects in practice
