Sponsored by the Division of Inclusion and Community Engagement 

Webinar Description: Join Dr. Calvin R. Hill, Dr. Margaret Bruchac, and Rhonda Anderson for a “fireside chat” (via a Zoom webinar) on the topic of land acknowledgments, moderated by Jahlina Carter ’23 at Springfield College. Increasingly, academic institutions and organizations are embracing the practice of opening events by speaking the names of regional Native American tribal nations, thereby calling attention to the Indigenous histories of the lands we stand upon. These words, designed to counteract the routine erasures of the colonial past, can also serve as a first step to improving public awareness of Native American nations in the present.
