Our Home, Our Stories: Indigenous, Muslim and Jewish Communities in Dialogue
“Home” has many meanings: where we live, where we come from, where we hope to be. It is our land, our origin and possibly our destination. By sharing what it means to each of us we allow for conversation and understanding to blossom.
