Tuesday, July 5, 2022 — #LandBack Canada

Land Back, as a hashtag and a movement, expands beyond our U.S. borders. For Indigenous people, it means taking back positions as stewards of the land and bringing balance to the community. First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Land Back movements and initiatives are very similar to those in the U.S., but with a different history of colonialism, an era of Truth and Reconciliation, and a growing number of land management programming.

Wednesday, July 6, 2022 — Through the Decades: The 1960s

The 1960s were the genesis of Native American activism. Urban Native communities, formed by the American Indian Urban Relocation program of the 1950s, were tough and deplorable places to live. The American Indian Movement formed as a result and by 1968, the Indian Civil Rights Act was passed. This decade is also marked by the arrival of the color TV, an explosion of (rock) music, and a new style of Native art. The first episode in our new series “Through the Decades” remembers the politics, significant events, and pop culture that helped shape Native America.

Friday, July 8, 2022 — Summer at the Native Museum

Summer is in full effect. People are feeling more comfortable traveling and Native museum doors are open. In New Mexico, the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture is reimagining their permanent exhibit, “Here Now and Always”, and the Albuquerque Museum opened their “Traitor, Survivor, Icon: The Legacy of La Malinche” exhibit, which examines the life and influence of an Indigenous woman caught in the conflict between Spanish and Indigenous people of Mexico. And the National Museum of the American Indian is featuring Black-Indigenous artists in the new exhibit “Ancestors Know Who We Are.” In this program, we’ll preview some brand-new Native museum exhibits you can visit this summer.
