Description

In collaboration with the North American Indian Center of Boston and Northeastern University, the City of Boston is convening a symposium of Indigenous Women and 2-Spirit Individuals. With the recent changes to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), museums and galleries have taken a step back to re-evaluate their collections and relationships with tribal nations and Indigenous artists. Join us to hear from Native American experts in museum curation, arts, history, and culture. Themes will include repatriation of ancestral remains and cultural items, representation of Indigenous women and queer peoples in the arts, the disruption of colonial constructs and gender systems, and more. This event will take place on the 6th floor at the Northeastern Alumni Center and on Zoom. Lunch and networking time are provided for in-person participants. **Registration is required.** 12:00 PM Check-in & Lunch 1:00 PM Symposium Begins & Zoom Room Opens 3:00 PM Symposium Closes & Zoom Room Closes 3:00 PM-4:00 PM Networking Keynote Speaker: Tess Lukey (Aquinnah Wampanoag), The Trustees of Reservations, Associate Curator of Native American Art Moderator: Sháńdíín Brown (Diné), Assistant Curator, Native American Art, RISD Panelists: Leah Hopkins (Narragansett), Manager of Museum Education and Programs, Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology, Brown University Paula Peters (Mashpee Wampanoag), Educator; Writer; Researcher; Producer of ""Our" Story: 400 Years of Wampanoag History”, on exhibit at Harvard University Peabody Museum of Archaeology Mary Amanda McNeil, PhD (Mashpee Wampanoag), Assistant Professor, Department of Studies in Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora, Tufts University Jean-Luc Pierite (Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana), MLK Visiting Scholar at MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning, President of the NAICOB, and the founder of InDigiFab Read more below about our speaker, moderator, and panelists!
