A Place at the Table: Beyond Blood Quantum

Join Lance Kelley and Bob Van Schyndel as they facilitate an engaging conversation with Norbert Hill Jr. centered around his latest book, Beyond Blood Quantum: Refusal to Disappear.

This event invites participants into a shared space for dialogue, reflection, and connection around themes of Indigenous identity, cultural continuity, and the limitations of blood quantum as a measure of belonging.

Through small group discussions and collective exploration, we’ll unpack the personal and political dimensions of identity and resilience in Native communities. This is more than a book talk—it’s a chance to listen, learn, and contribute to a conversation that matters.

What You’ll Gain from This Experience:

• A deeper understanding of the history and impact of blood quantum policies.
• Insight into how identity and belonging are shaped by both personal and cultural narratives.
• Opportunities to engage in meaningful small-group conversations that foster empathy and connection.
• New perspectives on how Indigenous communities are redefining kinship and community.
• Inspiration to continue the dialogue and apply what you’ve learned in your own circles.
