UConn is excited to gather the most Native and Indigenous scholars, activists, artists, and organizers ever on campus at one time to hold a week-long series of events focusing on Native American and Indigenous Studies. These event build upon those hosted by Kat Milligan-McLellan in the fall "Indigenous Women and Two-Spirits in STEM" and this week by Nate Acebo "Indigenous Futures Through Multimedia." 

UConn undergraduate students, graduate students, staff, and faculty are invited to join (though the “Red Praxis” teaching workshop is limited to faculty and graduate students).

All events will be held in person.
