“The Greater Cincinnati Native Community is calling upon the Diocese of Covington to meet with us. In the spirit of transparency we feel it is necessary to have a conversation where we are able to air our concerns and ask questions about the events that occurred in Washington DC on Friday, January 18th. We are asking for a seat at the table as they begin to look in to resolution and lasting solutions for the lack of respect shown by their students to our elders. These events have put a national spotlight on us and because of this we deserve space to have this conversation for only then can reconciliation begin.”
