Save the Date: "Columbus Day, Thanksgiving & Native Americans--What Else is There to Know?"


Come share an evening focused on the many cultures, dynamics, teachings and history of Native American people, with specific attention to the challenges, obstacles, and related factors that are in many ways unique to indigenous peoples.  A viewing and discussion of “Unseen Tears: The Impact of Native American Residential Boarding Schools in Western New York” are presented within the context of a comprehensive, culturally-grounded view of the impact of historical traumas and related factors that have impacted the lives, families education, and future of many Native Americans, yet are often unrecognized or ignored.  The overall state of Native health will also be addressed, along with suggestions on how a campus community can support Native and many other students in their educational & other life pursuits.
