Starting on Wednesday, November 2 through Saturday, November 5, the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque will be hosting the Indigenous Borderlands in North America Symposium. Registration is required

This symposium seeks to develop new borderland and border-crossing approaches to continental North America that center Indigenous peoples, homelands, political concerns, and related dynamics – temporally and spatially expanding borderlands frameworks.

Academics and Community Members Together

Bringing historians in strategic conversation with scholars of other disciplines and with Indigenous community members, we ask how cross-disciplinary and community-facing dialogue can advance humanistic knowledge, developing new ways to envision borders, crossings, histories, and futures in contexts of social and environmental change.

First in a Series

This symposium launches a series of international symposia and workshops on Indigenous borderlands in American and global contexts.

This event is free and open to the public
