The Truth-Telling Task Force was formed in response to the 2022 General Convention's mandate to have each diocese audit their relationship with the Indigenous Peoples on whose land the diocese now exists.​

 

This interactive timeline offers a history of the earliest inhabitants of California and the impact incursions had over the centuries.

 

​It is our responsibility as people of faith to educate ourselves on the suffering the Indigenous communities have and continue to endure. The purpose is not to create shame, but rather to work objectively towards justice and repair.​
