Book Talk with Editors Norbert Hill Jr. & Kathleen Ratteree

The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 was the US government’s attempt to define who “Indians” were. Among the criteria the act set was a blood quantum, which declared that “Indians” were all other persons of one-half or more Indian blood…Today, many wrestle with the legacy of blood quantum and “Indian” identity. Join us to learn about this complex and critical issue at this free event. Refreshments will be provided!

The event will take place on February 29 at 4:30 p.m. on the third floor of Cofrin Library and is free and open to the public. Visitors may park in any of the parking lots around campus, though the closest one to the Library is the Weidner Center lot; you can enter the Library from the Circle Entrance (features power-assist doors) to walk through the tunnels or you have the option to walk up the slight hill to the Plaza entrance (2nd floor).

Event Accessibility: If there is anything we can do to make you more comfortable, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Center for First Nations Education (cfne@uwgb.edu | 920.465.2937) with any suggestions, questions, or concerns.
