November 14, 2024

Video now available of a talk by Kathleen Whitely, "History on the Lost Coast: Locating Wiyot Stories of Resilience in Nancy and Matilda Spear," which amplifies untold stories from American Indian history and moves California Indians from the margin to the center by foregrounding Native voices and ways of knowing. This work, thus, moves beyond the history of American genocide by exploring the role of Native people as complicated agents struggling for their own future.
