The Newark Earthworks Center with support from the Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme is hosting Doug Kiel, PhD, Associate Professor at Northwestern University and citizen of the Oneida Nation, for a webinar titled "#LandBack: Histories of Restoring Indigenous Presence Webinar."
Land is at the heart of Indigenous identities, and histories of U.S. colonialism are largely defined by attempts to separate Native people from their collective inheritance. Native communities have reacquired territory through a variety of means in recent years, which has often been met with resentful opposition at the local level. The Land Back movement is nonetheless gaining steam, accruing victories, and making a better world. This present-day movement has roots that reach deep into the past, and has high stakes for the future.
