American Indian Affairs

Wednesday, April 2, 2008
7 to 9 pm

Native American Cultural Center, Yale University
297 Crown Street, New Haven

*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: http://commissiononamericanindianaffairs.pbwiki.com/

The forum will feature a panel including Trudie Lamb Richmond 
(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.

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.

Co-sponsors for this event include: the Native American Cultural Center, 
the American Studies Program, the Program in Ethnicity, Race, & 
Migration, the Lamar Center for the Study of Frontiers and Borders, the 
Public Humanities Initiative, and the Association of Native Americans at 
Yale.
