From May 17-19, 2018, the American Indian Studies Center at University of California, Los Angeles and its Southern California co-hosts will welcome NAISA, the largest scholarly organization devoted to Indigenous issues and research, to Yaanga (Downtown Los Angeles) on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Tongva.
Los Angeles is home to the largest Indigenous populations in the US. It is our aim to highlight the incredibly rich landscape of Indigenous Los Angeles at NAISA 2018. Our meeting will be set in downtown on what used to be the village of Yaanga before Tongva dispossession. As the city grew, so did Indigenous populations in Los Angeles. Many American Indians, Latin American Indigenous peoples, Alaskan Natives, and Native Hawaiians have come to the rich land of the Gabrieliño/Tongva for a variety of reasons, whether it was from following the rich trade of sea otters, fishing or whaling, or being driven from their homes by the economic tyranny of federal Indian policy, or fleeing persecution of the Mexican government against Indigenous peoples. Many from the Pacific and Global South would follow and make Los Angeles their home.
The NAISA Council invites scholars working in Native American and Indigenous Studies to submit proposals for: Individual papers, panel sessions, roundtables, or film screenings. All persons working in Native American and Indigenous Studies are invited and encouraged to apply. We welcome proposals from faculty and students in colleges, universities, and tribal colleges; from community-based scholars and elders; and from professionals working in the field. We encourage proposals relating to Indigenous community-driven scholarship.
Proposals for the 2018 NAISA conference can now be submitted at: https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/naisa/naisa18/
The deadline for proposal submissions is November 1, 2017, 11:50pm EST
Colloquium Dates: March 7-10, 2018, Venue: Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows, Kohala Coast, Island of Hawai`i
Fulbright Canada, and the Center for the Study of Canada at the State University of New York College at Plattsburgh in partnership with the University of Hawai`i at M?noa, are pleased to announce the third in our annual Canada Colloquium series. These scholarly colloquia are aimed at addressing critical contemporary social, political and economic issues of relevance to Canada, the United States, and the international community. Our 2018 colloquium sets out to examine a broad range of indigenous issues, and, in particular, those that affect indigenous persons in North America, including the far north and with special reference to indigenous persons in Hawai`i. The colloquium, entitled Canada, the United States, and Indigenous Peoples: Sovereignty, Sustainability, and Reconciliation, will be convened at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel on the island of Hawai`i, from March 7-10, 2018. The colloquium will commence on Wednesday, March 7th and conclude on Saturday, March 10th.
The colloquium, which is open to proposals with a significant Canadian, American, or Canada-U.S. focus, seeks to explore a wide range of scholarly questions around the theme of Canada, the United States, and Indigenous issues. Disciplinary, multi-disciplinary, and interdisciplinary scholarly inquiries dedicated to examining the relationships between Canada, the United States, or Canada and the United States, Indigenous Peoples and complex issues surrounding sovereignty, sustainability, rights, and reconciliation – in an anthropological, cultural, economic, geographic, historical, literary, natural sciences, political or social context – are especially encouraged.
