Hello Everyone, Just to let everyone know, we will be having our Monthly Novembers Meeting at 1:00 PM at The Missing Peace Gallery at 54 Dutoit Street. The meeting will be on Sunday, November 17, 2013. Transportation is a issue for me, I have a key now so we shouldnt experience the confusion we had last time. One of the agenda items has to do with the organization and its future. The Miami Valley Council for Native Americans has reached that fork in th eroad and we need to discuss its future. As well as the future of the Pow-Wow and its relationship with SunWatch and the need of the Anpo O Project. I want to encourage people to check out this upcoming lecture as it is one that has eaten at the structure of the Indian community throughtout the State of Ohio. Native American Heritage Month Lecture: The Meanings of “Indian Blood”: Perspectives on Race and Identity Primary Category: Campus Life » Multicultural Affairs & Community Engagement Date (Start and End): Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - 11:00am to 12:30pm Location: Millett Hall Atrium Event Webpage: Asian/Hispanic/Native American Center Dr. Eva Garroutte, Associate Professor of Sociology at Boston College American Indians are defined not solely by self-designation but by federal, state, and tribal laws. Blood quantum remains one of the most significant factors in determining tribal membership, access to services, and community recognition. This concept has generated debate and contestation. Dr. Eva Marie Garroutte, Associate Professor of Sociology at Boston College, will examine the issue of Indian identity and the many competing definitions of “Indian-ness” that are rooted in law, blood, cultural practice, self-identification, and the positive and negative consequences of each as seen from various perspectives. An enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation, Dr. Garroutte has a background of research and publication related to the study of racial-ethnic identity, religion, and American Indian health. This event is part of the Asian/Hispanic/Native American Centers 2013 Native American Heritage Month Celebration, and is free and open to the public. For the full 2013 calendar of events, please visit our website at wright.edu/administration/ahna or visit our center at 154 Millett Hall. Hope to see everyone on the 17th of November....
