Event Details
Please join us for the third Humanities Faculty Colloquium of this academic year on Tuesday, November 19 for a talk by Associate Professor of History -Katrina Phillips. The presentation will be held in the ArtCom 102 room of the Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center, Lunch, generously funded by the Provost's Office, is available at 11:45; talks begin promptly at noon. No RSVP needed. All faculty and staff are welcome.
Like Native nations across what’s now the United States, Ojibwe people have advocated for their lands, their livelihoods, and their sovereignty for centuries. In this talk, Phillips will trace the growth of tribal activism, environmentalism, and tourism endeavors in Northern Wisconsin, illuminating how treaty signings and shifting federal policies have affected the Ojibwe in Wisconsin – and how the Ojibwe have responded, paying particular attention to the historic and contemporary contestations surrounding the Ojibwe fight for political, cultural, and economic sovereignty.
