Myths about Native Americans abound in the American cultural imagination—including the idea that they’re “disappearing” or simply of the past. America’s Indigenous women have are perhaps even more invisible, but they are actually actively pressing for Native American survivance in the “here and now.” Dr. Garner’s talk will trace the history of settler-colonialism's erasure of Native Americans, its continuing impact on Indigenous communities, and Native women’s powerful activism.

Wednesday, March 23rd, 6:30, Benes Rooms
