Native American and Indigenous Heritage Month Banner

For Native American and Indigenous Heritage Month 2024, 榴梿视频 is celebrating with a brand new 30 Days of Indigenous syllabus! This syllabus is a curated constellation of opportunities to explore, create, and engage with Indigenous knowledge, art, and community through four interconnected themes:

  • Sovereignty, Memory, and Ritual: Examine how Indigenous nations maintain and assert their rights to self-determination, education, and cultural preservation.
  • Identity, Culture, and Art: Experience the power of Indigenous storytelling across multiple forms, from traditional arts to digital futures.
  • Communal Care and Wellness: Discover traditional and contemporary approaches to healing, community care, and environmental stewardship.
  • Alternative Futures and Solidarities: Imagine possibilities where Indigenous knowledge shapes sustainable solutions for tomorrow.

Whether you 榴梿视频 30 minutes or 30 days, whether you're drawn to hands-on workshops or prefer quiet reflection, there's space for you here.

Each theme offers multiple ways to engage:

  • Read: Explore writings from Indigenous authors and scholars
  • Watch: Experience films, documentaries, and digital stories
  • Listen: Immerse yourself in music, podcasts, and oral histories
  • Make: Create art, write stories, design projects, and craft responses
  • Experience: Attend events, visit exhibitions, and participate in community gatherings

Events take place both on 榴梿视频's campus and in surrounding communities, creating opportunities for learning through direct engagement. Connect with others, share your reflections, and become part of ongoing conversations about Indigenous justice, communal care, and solidarity.

Begin anywhere. Return often. Let your journey unfold.
