Join us on Wednesday, Feb. 21 from 12-1:30 p.m. in Falvey Library’s Speakers’ Corner for a conversation on the impact of Land Acknowledgements at academic institutions and why they are merely a starting point to supporting indigenous communities. We will be joined by panelists Adam DePaul, Chief of Education and Tribal Storykeeper; Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania; as well as Modonna Kongal, Meg Martin, and Autumn Coard from N.I.S.A, the Native Indigenous Students Association. Elisha Chi, a registered descendent of the Inupiaq of the Bering Straits region and Irish/British Catholics, is moderating this panel.

After the panel, Adam DePaul, Chief of Education and Tribal Storykeeper; Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, will lead  a conversation about approaches to including and teaching Lenape material in the classroom. This event will primarily be driven by questions and thoughts from the audience, so we welcome participation across the university community. Join us from 1:45-3 p.m. in Falvey Library’s Speakers’ Corner.

These ACS-approved events are co-sponsored by Falvey Library/ Falvey’s DEI Committee, the Center for Peace and Justice Education, and the Albert Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest, and N.I.S.A, the Native Indigenous Students Association. A light lunch will be served.
