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 been perhaps even more invisible, but they are actually actively pressing for Native American survivance in the “here and now.” Dr. Sande Garner will trace the history of settler-colonialism’s erasure of Native Americans, its continuing impact on Indigenous communities, and Native women’s powerful activism in a March 23 presentation.
The Africana, Gender, and Identity Studies Department invites you to Dr. Garner’s talk, Native American Women and Activism: Four Directions – Political, Environmental, Pedagogical, and Creative.
Wednesday, March 23, 6:30-8:30 PM, Benes Rooms
Dr. Garner is the inaugural Chief Floyd Leonard Faculty Fellow for the Myaamia Center and an Associate Professor of American Studies in the Global and Intercultural Studies Department at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio
