Symposium on the American Indian

About the Symposium

50th Annual Symposium on the American Indian

Envisioning Indigenous Futurity on April 10-15, 2023

This year’s theme, “Envisioning Indigenous Futurity”, offers time to reflect on our past, evaluate the present, and look forward to the future with hope. Futurity is viewed by some as an integration of the past, present, and future. This way of thinking regarding how our past influences the present, and subsequently, the present affects the future is not a new concept for Indigenous peoples. For time immemorial, we have looked to lessons from our past and guidance from our elders while considering the impact our decisions have on our future generations, often referred to as “the seven generations” principle. Through this theme, we seek to explore the concepts of futurity within a variety of disciplines, including history, cultural anthropology, leadership, Tribal sovereignty, research, sustainability, and community development, among others. We will celebrate fifty years of scholarship, broadening perspectives, community building, diversity, and culture since the annual symposium and gatherings of Native American knowledge-carriers began at NSU. Dr. Doug Kiel (Oneida Nation), Dr. Miranda Belarde-Lewis (Zuni Pueblo/Tlingit) and Dr. Laura Harjo (Mvskoke) will all serve as keynote speakers and the center of the 50th Annual Symposium on the American Indian.
