Distinguished Speaker Series
From Boarding Schools to Border Laws: How the Challenges of History Impact Contemporary Native Americans
Featuring Libby Tronnes, PhD
Native American and U.S. History Specialist, Virginius H. Chase Special Collections Center at Bradley University
Thursday, August 19 at 7 pm via Zoom (for now – stay tuned)
Dr. Tronnes will take a candid look at the history of the European immigrant treatment of Native Americans, and current policies that may still be trying to “kill the Indian, save the man,” whether intentional or by neglect. This program is dedicated to the memory of Susan Brill de Ramirez and her husband Antonio Ramirez de Barron. Dr. Brill, a former Board member, was passionate about indigenous people and ensuring that they are included in the context of global and domestic policy understanding.
