Indigenous Student Seminar Recap
Our colleagues at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University wrote a nice summary of the online portion of our inaugural Indigenous Student Seminar.
The three-day seminar comprised lectures about the economic, political, and legal characteristics of Indian reservations and tribal relationships with local, state, and national governments. Each lecture was followed by a breakout discussion in which the students could talk about how to apply these concepts to life in their respective nations.
“Simply getting access to share the same space as scholars who have a variety of knowledge bases and experiences—and [who] also share a common commitment and investment to the next generation of Native leaders—is exactly what I needed during these very difficult times,” one of the participating students said.
