1. Read and reflect on the quote from indigenous author Kaitlin B. Curtice in Native: Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering God, and then create your response to it--prose, poem, photo, art, meditation, or other medium.
"Community is the human family and my creature kin. Community is a journey in and of itself, and that may be one of the greatest and most challenging calls of our lives. It is the thing that sharpens us, hurts us, heals us. It is the thing that leads us home or to a new home we did not know we longed for. Community is the miracle that reminds us we are still looking, still searching, and that faith can be a partner in that journey."
2. Look back at your journal responses from the beginning of this course. How has your understanding of building community changed or grown?
3. Write and, if you wish, share with the Forum community: where in your context can you envision these practices building community? How might these practices be used to center children's voices or for intergenerational leadership formation? Why are you committed to community?
