Hundreds of Native and Indigenous students, faculty and alumni gathered to celebrate Yale’s sixth Henry Roe Cloud conference, which featured academic and community panels, performing arts showcases and an awards reception to recognize Native and Indigenous excellence.
The shortlisted book, “The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples And The Unmaking of U.S. History,” which is, in part, dedicated to Yale’s Native American Cultural Center, argues for the centrality of Native Americans in the retelling of American history.
Indigenous historian Ned Blackhawk says the occupation of Alcatraz was part of an era that launched a whole range of Native American self-determination efforts in education, arts and land management.
