Announcing the Fifth Annual Vine Deloria, Jr. Indigenous Studies Symposium

February 26, 2010 in Upcoming Events by spavlik | No comments

Hosted by Northwest Indian College

Bellingham, Washington – July 8, 9, 10, 2010

The purpose of this symposium is to bring together Native and non-native scholars and tribal elders who are interested in honoring the life and work of our friend, colleague, and mentor, Vine Deloria, Jr., and in presenting new ideas and expanding knowledge in several key areas that Vine devoted his life to. The symposium this year will focus on Indigenous philosophy, religion, spirituality, and related topics.  The symposium itself will be organized as a series of intellectually driven panels – no “workshop” type presentations – and specially invited speakers addressing these issues.  Individual presentations may be formal or informal, but in keeping with the spirit of Vine, there will be no PowerPoint or other electronic presentations.

Registration fee – $100 (includes lunches and salmon dinner)

NativeView, Inc. is pleased to announce Tribal College Forum VIII (TCF VIII), August 18-20, 2009, in Bellingham, WA. Hosted by Northwest Indian College (NWIC), this year’s forum has the theme of “Sacred Lands, Sacred Trust: Geo-Spatial and Spiritual Perspectives.” 

The purpose of this forum is to engage Tribal colleges, Tribal communities, and the geospatial science and technology community in cooperatively developing opportunities for supporting Indigenous people as they fulfill their sacred responsibility to manage, preserve, and protect their lands.  Complementing traditional ecological knowledge with technology at this forum will nurture Native students and enhance Tribal self-governing capabilities

Participants will engage with Tribal leaders, TCU Presidents, students, Federal agencies and private industry professionals. By developing relationships with colleagues from around the country, they will share successful experiences and develop a deeper understanding of NativeView, Inc. and its vision for strengthening tribal education and employment.
