What do the earliest land laws in the country have to do with guardianship of people with disabilities? What is the connection between colonization of indigenous people and experimentation on disabled and black bodies? This webinar will introduce attendees to disability frameworks, intersectionality, institutionalization, and the Indiana Disability History Project. Speakers will offer a Q&A portion for participants to hear from people with disabilities regarding their experiences with institutionalization in Indiana.

A comic-style hand-drawn graphic with 4 panels numbered 1-4 from top to bottom and left to right. The art is titled "Personal Healing is Communal Healing", the same as the associated poem. In the first panel, a child is sitting sadly with a closed body posture, their arms crossed over their lap, head down, crying, and with a broken heart over their chest. An adult is also in this panel, standing, kind of slumped over, also crying. Their heart is a jumbled mess of tangled lines. In the second panel, the child is in the same position. The adult has opened their eyes and stopped crying as they begin paying closer attention to their body. Their tangles heart lines appear to be taking some shape. In the third graphic, the child still has their arms crossed over their lap and their heart is still broken, but they have opened their eyes to look at the adult and stopped crying. The adult's heart has formed into their inner child - whole again - and they are gently cradling their inner child as the sitting child looks on. In the final frame, the adult has worked with their childhood self to heal enough that they an now share their inner child with the sitting child. They have bent down, arms open, to invite their inner child to support the sitting child who is clearly navigating their own childhood harm. The inner child gently wraps their arms around the sitting child and the sitting child smiles to welcome the embrace and their heart begins to get *stitched* back together to heal. All three are in more open, inviting, and connected positions. The comic ends with a social media handle @FaerieBearArt for Patreon, Etsy, Facebook, and Instragram.
