SUMMARY:Women's History Month Keynote: Shelley Buffalo: Rematriation and Indigenous Futurism
DESCRIPTION:Shelley Buffalo\, Decolonial Pathfinder\, is a food sovereignty\, rematriation and restorative justice advocate. Through collaborative partnerships and her consultancy\, Water Panther\, Shelley mindfully directs her labor to penetrate and transcend the colonial mindset. Through creative and compassionate solutions\, Shelley seeks a path forward to a livable\, equitable and biodiverse future on Earth. The story of Grandmother Spider who weaves the pattern of life on Earth teaches us the creative potential of making the pattern more beautiful than before as we hone our skills and vision informed by humility\, value and respect for life on Earth. Shelley calls on her ancestors to help her weave with Grandmother’s hands; with wisdom\, love and care for all of creation. \nShelley believes that the undoing of colonial structures is necessary for reweaving something more beautiful as is Grandmother Spider’s lesson for human life on earth. Each time we reweave the fabric of society\, we have the opportunity to make it more beautiful. \n

SUMMARY:AAPI Month Speaker - Mai Na Lee: “Subverting the Blood Sacrifice Narrative: How the Hmong Arrived in the Midwest and Became Targets of ICE Arrest and Deportation”
DESCRIPTION:The Hmong began arriving in large numbers into the Midwestern states in 1976 as refugees of the first and second Indochina Wars. For decades\, the first generation of Hmong elders awaited the return to their mountainous homes in Laos. Because they saw themselves as sojourners and not permanent immigrants\, many never prepared for obtaining citizenship for themselves or their children. This refusal for permanent resettlement complicated their lives and the lives of their children at multiple junctures of history. This talk provides the background for U.S. empire activities in Southeast Asia that displaced the Hmong into the United States with emphasis on their resettlement in the Midwest. It will also set the grounds for examining why the Hmong have become targets of the Trump administration’s ICE Arrest and Deportation efforts in Minnesota during the last year.
