The 47th Annual Symposium on the American Indian is scheduled to take place April 8-13, 2019, and focuses on the theme, Celebrating Indigenous Women. The symposium will honor both modern and legendary matriarchs, focusing on women who have contributed to the success and growth of our Indigenous communities and families. While not all tribes are defined as matrilineal or matriarchal, the contributions of women are ever present in Indigenous families and communities. Indigenous women serve as guides, teachers, caregivers, strategists, counselors and cultural preservationists.
Keynote speakers include: Tara Houska (Couchiching First Nation), Honor the Earth; Mary Jo Tippeconnic Fox (Comanche/Cherokee), University of Arizona; and Erin Griffin (Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate), Sisseton Wahpeton College.
