Indigenous Storytelling: Land, People, Ceremony and Place
Indigenous Storytelling: Land, People, Ceremony and Place
Wednesday, April 15
3–4 p.m. Eastern time
Hosted by Dr. Amanda Cheromiah (Laguna Pueblo), Jim Thorpe Center for the Futures of Native Peoples
This webinar invites Dickinson alumni into a reflective conversation about Carlisle through the lens of Indigenous storytelling. Centering people, place and living histories, we will explore how stories carry memory, connection and meaning across generations. We will also consider Carlisle through an environmental lens, examining how land and the surrounding landscape shape human experience, community and responsibility. Together, we will reflect on Carlisle as a place marked by Indigenous presence and ongoing relationships and consider what it means to engage this place with greater care, understanding and accountability.
