A One-Day Symposium at Boston University | May 4, 2023 \/ 10am-5pm<\/strong><\/p>\n Indigenous artists, writers, activists, and scholars working in a variety of fields, periods, and across media, have called for a reevaluation of traditional Western epistemologies that privilege textual evidence as the only reliable resource for creating historical narratives. This one-day symposium showcases scholars whose work engages Indigenous modes of knowledge production and might incorporate textual archives but also artifacts, oral traditions, and non-alphabetic material texts. Relatedly, it aims to further reflection and discussion among attendees upon the methods, resources, and aesthetic practices we use to tell stories about the past.<\/p>\n The symposium will begin with a welcome from\u00a0<\/span>jessie little doe baird<\/b> (Mashpee Wampanoag), W\u00f4pan\u00e2ak Language Reclamation Project Co Founder and Lead Linguist.<\/span><\/p>\n Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n 9:30 am Coffee and Continental Breakfast<\/span><\/p>\n 10:00 am Welcome Address<\/span><\/p>\n jessie little doe baird <\/strong>(Mashpee Wampanoag), W\u00f4pan\u00e2ak Language Reclamation Project Co Founder and Lead Linguist<\/p>\n 10:30 am Session One<\/span><\/p>\n Chair: Paul Conrad<\/strong>, University of Texas at Arlington<\/p>\n \u201cFantasies of Elimination and Ottawa Political Traditions,\u201d David Dry <\/strong>(Ottawa Tribe of Oklahoma), UNC-Chapel Hill<\/p>\n \u201cBeyond the Text of Treaty 4: Land, Object, Image,\u201d Johannah Bird <\/strong>(Peguis First Nation), McMaster University<\/p>\n \u201cWhat the History of Triqui Sovereignty and Migration from Oaxaca, Mexico Teaches Us About Global Indigeneity,\u201d Jorge Ramirez-Lopez <\/strong>(Sii\u2019cha\u2019anja\/Triqui), Dartmouth College<\/p>\n 12:00 pm Lunch<\/span><\/p>\n (provided for registered attendees)<\/span><\/p>\n 1:00 pm Session Two<\/span><\/p>\n Chair: Alyssa Mt.
