Tribal Enrollment: What Does It Mean Now and in the Future
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.
