Indigenous Rights and Environmental Justice Symposium: Standing Rock and Implications for North Carolina

Feb 6, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm

Indigenous Rights and Environmental Justice Symposium

Dear Friends of the AIC,

On February 6, the UNC American Indian Center in collaboration with the Kathryn M. Buder Center for American Indian Studies at Washington University in St. Louis will be hosting an Indigenous Rights and Environmental Justice Symposium.  While the event is taking place in St. Louis, the UNC School of Social Work has graciously agreed to livestream the feed on campus in their Auditorium, located in the Tate-Turner-Kuralt Building.  The livestreamed portion of the symposium will last from 9:30am – 1:00pm. The symposium will be taped as well.

Immediately following the Symposium, three UNC faculty connected to issues of land, environmental justice, and federal Indian policy will talk about their departments and how students who interested in the topic of Indigenous rights can explore these issues further at UNC.  The UNC Faculty Panel will take place from 1:00pm – 2:00pm. 

Directions to the UNC School of Social Work and visitor parking information can be found here.

WU Cosponsors: Washington University, George Warren Brown School of Social Work, and the Katheryn M. Buder Center for American Indian Studies
