In collaboration with the American Indian Resource Center (AIRC) at the University of Utah, the Book Arts Program (BAP) at the J. Willard Marriott Library developed a 'zine titled Influential Indigenous Leaders. The AIRC drew inspiration from Adrienne Keene's Book Notable Native People: 50 Indigenous Leaders, Dreamers, and Changemakers from Past and Present. They reached out to the BAP to design a zine that supports K-12 and community outreach and celebrates indigenous histories. The staff and faculty from both programs designed a simple single sheet with photos and descriptions that highlight thirteen Native leaders.

THE INDIGO ROOM is an immersive, ritualistic theater and installation work by Timothy White Eagle and The Violet Triangle. The artists explore the universal myth of a hero being swallowed alive and then returned, taking a collective journey through grief and connection toward new mythologies. Elemental and meditative, with a touch of divine magic, audiences are invited into new considerations and possibilities as we emerge from isolation. Space is very limited for this special performance experience.

Dean Kronk Warner will discuss a paper she co-authored with Jensen Lillquist (Class of 2023), published in the California Law Review, that compares the rights of nature in international, federal, state, and tribal contexts. The article explores what states and the federal government can learn from tribal governments in this space. As tribal governments, with their long history of rights of nature, they are laboratories of innovation that can teach other sovereigns within the boundaries of the United States.
In Native communities, aunties often function in multiple roles, including serving as an additional mother to children, a family and community helper, a healer and a source of strength, a back-stop in times of need, and “an extra person in your corner.” Utilizing this concept of family strength, the innovative California-based My Two Aunties (M2A) program has employed the values of “helping and healing, as if it is your own family,” to drastically reduce the need for foster care, prevent child maltreatment, and enhance overall family wellness in Native communities. Join the founding “auntie” behind this program, Karan D. Kolb, as she discusses how M2A supports strengthening families, instills cultural family values, and addresses trauma and adverse childhood experiences.
