During this time of year, many Americans partake in traditions that involve preconceptions and idealized versions of our relationship with American Indians. Yet these preconceived and idealized versions are far from the reality faced by the American Indians. A reality that still impacts their rights and representation in the U.S. today.
Join us for presentation presented by associate professor, John Low, PhD. at Ohio State Newark and sociology instructor, Eric Jorrey at COTC. This presentation will discuss current issues that impact Indigenous Americans' rights and lives, including misconceptions, intergroup relationships, representations, voting rights, and health outcomes.
Additionally, we will discuss the dynamics and effects of tribal sovereignty and the portrayal and use of mascots.
