The American Indian Studies Librarian visited the LA Skins Fest’s Native American Animation Panel at Netflix and the 2019 LA Zinefest to explore storytelling resources and potential vehicles for Native voices and student interests in L.A.
We want to invite students and our alumni and community friends to come by the library to come check out all the cool zines we acquired there and remind yourself what “reading for pleasure” means.Representing Native Peoples: Native Narratives of Indigenous History and Culture
We are excited to announce the forthcoming special issue of the American Indian Culture and Research Journal entitled Representing Native Peoples: Native Narratives of Indigenous History and Culture. Co-edited by Nicolas Rosenthal and Liza Black, this issue examines the ways in which Indigenous peoples have represented themselves and their communities in different periods and contexts, as well as through various media. Ranging across anthroÂpology, art history, cartography, film studies, history, and literature, the authors go beyond the problems of cultural appropriation by non-Indians to examine Native people’s negotiations with prominent images and ideas.
