He noted season 1 is difficult to watch and it makes you shake sometimes. He <br /> added when he was younger he had instances where he was caught up in anti-Semitism. <br /> Ms. Stevenson stated one of her favorite shows was United Shades of America. It goes around <br /> to different communities and talks to people. There was an episode on Native Americans, the <br /> Dakota, and talked about their land being taken. There was another episode on Appalachian <br /> poverty and homelessness. <br /> 3. Training Opportunities <br /> October 28, 2022: Race Our Hidden History <br /> Ms. Stevenson noted there was a training on white privilege.

Belonging: Community Committee <br /> Ms. Stevenson would like to develop a concept this year of belonging. It is done in <br /> the schools, but as a community, how do we make people feel they belong when <br /> people move here. <br /> Chair contacted the new principal, new Director of the Chamber of Commerce, and <br /> the new Director of the Senior Center. She met a woman at the LCP meeting that <br /> brought up some good ideas about things we can do. Between Mashpee Commons, <br /> the Tribal influence, also Richard Desorgher, they could put together a committee to <br /> talk as a community about what we can do. A lot of the HOAs try and get people <br /> involved, but how do we welcome people on a community level when they move <br /> here or start attending our schools. How do they feel they belong? <br /> Ms. Kent noted there is a Welcome to Mashpee pamphlet sent out to new residents, <br /> she is not sure if it comes from the Town Clerk's office. <br /> 8 <br />
