Nevada Humanities moves topic program online, talk to discuss 'Indigenous Narratives in Modern Context'
Nevada Humanities presents the next installment of its bimonthly salon discussion series online Friday, May 15 on Facebook. The topic is Indigenous Narratives in the Modern Context and will feature a virtual discussion about journalism, jurisdictional issues and Indigenous narratives.
Moderated by Stacey Montooth, Executive Director of the State of Nevada Indian Commission, a diverse panel of experts, including Autumn Harry, Tsanavi Spoonhunter, and Jarrette Werk, will discuss how Indigenous histories are often ignored within the United States, which has led to the erasure of place-based narratives.
A panel of Native scholars and journalists will discuss how colonial mapping practices have created complex jurisdictional issues, inspiring a new generation of journalists and storytellers.
This event will be held on May 15, 2020, beginning at 6 p.m. online at the Nevada Humanities Facebook page at facebook.com/nevadahumanities.
The program is an hour long. Guest panelists will be online answering questions during this virtual event. A recording of the virtual salon will be available at nevadahumanities.org.
“We can’t congregate at this time, but we can still be together,” notes Stephanie Gibson, Assistant Director at Nevada Humanities. “This Salon is part of a series of conversations hosted by Nevada Humanities around the theme of ‘Democracy and the Informed Citizen’. What better way to learn about the important role played by journalists today than talking with activists and storytellers working on the front lines of current events in our state and around the nation.”
Part panel discussion, part conversation, and part social event, The salon program brings people together to converse about thought-provoking topics and ideas. The salon is a welcoming place to learn and share new ideas.
