1. Witness and Testimony: The Past and Present of Native America

Saturday, June 3 | 10:00 AM - 11:15 AM
  • 2017
  • Current Affairs
  • History
  • Literary
Louis Warren, Layli Long Soldier, William Bauer, T. J. Stiles, Greg Sarris

Turtle Island’s First People, and its First Nations, have inspired writers, journalists, artists, musicians, and workers—Native American, Anglo, and other—in years past and today, up to and beyond Standing Rock activism. What stories and lessons from Native American history illuminate the present day for Native Americans, and why? Our panelists include a Native poet writing about voicelessness, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, an award-winning novelist and Native leader who discovered his roots as an adult, and a historian specialized in Native American studies. They discuss legacies, truths, and the potential future of our country’s First People’s place, stories, and movements.

With support from the Stephen M. Silberstein Foundation
