Indigenous Politics: From Native New England and Beyond
Tuesdays 4-5pm EDT
88.1 fm, Middletown, CT
Listen online LIVE: www.wesufm.org

On February 26, 2008, join your host, J. Kehaulani Kauanui,
for an episode featuring selections from a recent symposium
held at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, "Engaging
Indigenous Critiques: Reconsidering Race, Gender and Politics
in Native New England History."  The event was sponsored by
the Department of Anthropology and the Native American Student
Society at UMass Boston, in conjunction with Harvard University's
Native American Program and Plimoth Plantation sponsored. This
panel discussion focused on the impact of racial hierarchy and
discourses of race on Native American communities. Participants
include: Professor Amy Den Ouden, Assistant Professor of
Anthropology at UMass, Boston; Lisa Brooks (Abenaki), an Assistant
Professor of History and Literature and of Folklore and Mythology
at Harvard University; Daniel Mandell, Truman State University;
Marge Bruchac (Abenaki), Tufts University; David E. Wilkins
(Lumbee), Professor of  American Indian Studies and Political
Science from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities; and
Maurice Fox (Mashpee Wampanoag), Chair of the Commission on
Indian Affairs in Massachusetts. How are the histories and lived
realities of Native people erased or obscured in discussions of
race in the United States? During the colonial period and the
nineteenth century, how were Native  communities in New England
and beyond impacted by laws and policies that were rooted in
Anglo-American ideas about race?   How are these issues at play
today?
