Description
In partnership with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, the Museum of Native American History continues their ongoing Native Conversations series and is proud to host University of Arkansas instructor Justin Gage, Ph.D. Dr. Gage will speak about his new book, “We Consider Ourselves As One: Creating a Native American Community and the Spread of the Ghost Dance” from the University of Oklahoma Press. In this work, Dr. Gage observes that although most historians assume that western Indians were still pre-literate during the early reservation years, thousands of Native Americans used literacy - meant as a tool of assimilation - to strengthen their own cultures, preserve a measure of sovereignty, and express their thoughts outside of white control. Free and open to the public.
