May 12: Tsim Schneider, University of California, Santa Cruz (4-5:30pm, PST), "Injustice and Indigenous Resilience in Colonial California"
Dr. Schneider, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at UCSC, shares how dispossession of traditional lands, destruction of natural resources and habitat loss, disintegration of Indigenous cultures, and the demographic collapse of Native communities also illuminate critical instances of resilience during successive and compounding periods of colonial injustice.
Everything you need to participate is in our welcome packet, including this meeting link, primary sources and background readings, and more. As a follow up, we’re hosting an online discussion hour on May 19 (4-5pm, PST) to share instructional resources and continue small group discussions. Details are in the welcome packet.
