Know We Are Here: Native Visibility in the University
October 6, 2023 @ 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
UC Berkeley, which sits on native territory and was built with funds from stolen native lands, has a dishearteningly low representation of Native American undergraduate students, accounting for just 0.04% of the student body. The Native students who do gain admission to Berkeley must confront a culture that often negates indigenous forms of knowledge, all while housing thousands of native human remains intended for scholarly study. This panel aims to delve into the challenges and experiences that Native individuals have faced navigating the university system.Additionally, the discussion will touch upon relevant themes presented in the new anthology Know We Are Here: Voices of Native California Resistance, edited by UC Berkeley alum Terria Smith M.J. ‘12.
Speakers/Panelists: Andrés Cediel, Corrina Gould (Lisjan Ohlone), Phenocia Bauerle, Dr. Rose Soza War Soldier (Mountain Maidu/Cahuilla/Luiseño, enrolled member of Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians), Terria Smith (Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians)
Please register in advance.
Hosted by UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, Native American Student Development
