CANCELED: 5th Annual Digital Knowledge Sharing Keynote Conversation with Amy Lonetree, UC Santa Cruz

This event has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Join us on July 27 at 5:30 p.m. ET for the keynote event of the APS's Library & Museum’s 5th annual Digital Knowledge Sharing workshop. This program is hosted by the APS’s Center for Native American and Indigenous Research (CNAIR) and the Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI), supported by the Mellon Foundation.

This virtual keynote conversation event will feature Amy Lonetree (Ho-Chunk), Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Dr. Lonetree will discuss her current book project, Visualizing Ho-Chunk History: Cultural Performance, Tourist Encounters, and Survivance, 1879-1960, and its relationship to her ongoing work of bringing Indigenous community knowledge and family history to visual archival collections. In coming into archives to reclaim this history as a descendant of the community reflected in these collections, and often being the first person to encounter such materials in this way, how can work of this kind also contribute to new methodologies for how history is written and what kinds of history are valued?

Her talk will be followed by conversation with Brian Carpenter, Curator of Indigenous Materials at the APS Library & Museum, and general audience Q&A.

This event will take place on Wednesday, July 27, 2022 at 5:30 p.m. ET via Zoom. The event is free of charge; registration is required to attend. Note: The event will not be recorded. Please register to attend.
