Decolonization Roundtable

Tuesday, October 10
3:00 to 4:30 PM | Zoom event

Centering TRUTH Report Recommendations in the University’s Work. This year's Decolonization Roundtable discussions will focus on strategies to implement recommendations from the Report from the Towards Recognition and Tribal - University Healing (TRUTH) Project. Our first session will focus on how we can engage in the Community Input process in the search for a University President. How can we use our collective voice to help keep TRUTH recommendations central in the search process? We will also have a chance to hear reflections from Roundtable members who participated in this past summer's TRUTH Report reading group. Administered by the Office for Public Engagement, the program is co-sponsored by the University's Department of American Indian Studies and the Institute for Advanced Study.

(In)Justice: Indigenous Stories from the Archives

Hosted by the Institute for Advanced Study

Thursday, November 16
3:30 PM | Online

Register

Archives are valued as holding myriad stories through the primary and artifactual sources that can reproduce or disrupt dominant narratives. But how do Indigenous peoples appear in the archives? And why are Indigenous knowledge-keeping systems so often met with skepticism? Speakers will consider issues of access and absence, seemingly non-literary texts, and more while discussing projects focused around boarding schools in the U.S., archival reclamation, and a Plains ledger art research project.
