A Public Forum about HB 5141, An Act to Create A Commission on Native
American Indian Affairs<br>
<br>
Wednesday, April 2, 2008<br>

<br>

297 Crown Street, New Haven<br>
<br>
</b>The Native American Cultural Center invites you to a public forum
regarding important legislation currently working its way through
committees in the Connecticut General Assembly. This is event is aimed
at
both the Yale University campus and the larger public in Connecticut,
especially American Indian people who reside in the state and those who
are members of the five tribes whose homelands and reservations are
located here. The goal of the forum is to educate people about this
grass-roots effort by American Indian people and their non-Indian
allies
in Connecticut. Additional information about the initiative can be
found
at:

(Schaghticoke), Mikki Aganstata (Eastern Cherokee), and Sherman Paul
(Maliseet), which will be co-moderated by Alyssa Mt. Pleasant, Ph.D.,
Assistant Professor of American Studies and History at Yale University,
and J. Kehaulani Kauanui, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Anthropology
and
American Studies at Wesleyan University.<br>
<br>
Parking is available on Crown Street and surrounding streets, and there
is a parking garage located around the corner from the Center on York
Street, between Crown and Chapel.<br>
<br>
Co-sponsors for this event include: the Native American Cultural
Center,
