The pre-conference meeting in Plymouth will bring together geographers from
around the world who work with Indigenous peoples, to aid in creating a
network and to share our research and experiences. This meeting will allow
for informal gatherings and exploration of the local area and history.
While in Plymouth we will also be meeting with the local Native American
community, the Mashpee Wampanoag. Accommodation has been arranged at the
Pilgrim Sands Hotel (http://www.pilgrimsands.com/ double occupancy US $43,

the AAG annual meeting in Boston, the Indigenous Peoples Specialty Group
will be sponsoring a symposium comprised of paper sessions, panels and a
plenary speaker, Dr. Daniel Wildcat from Haskell Indian Nations
University, on 15-16 April. Other Indigenous focused sessions will follow
on the remaining days of the AAG conference.

If you are interested in presenting a paper at the AAG, please submit your
abstract to our secretary, Doug Herman (hermand at si.edu) by 22 October,
2007.
