Living on Indigenous Landscapes

Potawatomi and Settler Histories in Northern Indiana

Join Dr. Luke Gascho for this presentation and Q&A on the indigenous history of our region, and learn about current efforts and actions that can mend relationships between people and the land

"The history of land in North America is most commonly viewed only through the eyes of people who colonized the continent. Learning more about the culture and actions of Indigenous people toward the land aids in restorative actions toward the land and people. During this talk, insights will be shared regarding the framework that gave governments moral and legal justifications to invade Indigenous lands and dominate and force removal of Indigenous peoples. Topics will also include what the continent was like before 1492, insights into the interactions between Indigenous peoples and settlers in [the region], and current actions that can lead to right relationships between people and the land."
