Lunchtime Discussion: Native American Representation in National and Local Narratives - NA Symposium
Join us for the U.S. Capitol Historical Society's Native American Suffrage Symposium, commemorating the centennial of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. This landmark law declared as citizens all "Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States."
Watch as Dawson Her Many Horses, head of Native American Banking at Wells Fargo, and Kevin Gover, Undersecretary for Museums and Culture at Smithsonian Institution, engage in a compelling lunchtime discussion about Native American representation in predominant national narratives. They debunked old myths about Native American history at Thanksgiving through Little Big Horn; shined light on Native Americans' historic contribution to U.S. military service; and unpacked newer Native American representations in modern culture, from Oscar-nominated actor Lily Gladstone's role in "Killers of the Flower Moon" to the hit series "Reservation Dogs."
