Humanism Explorations Zoom Meeting for Sunday April 18, 2021, 3 to 5 P.M.
An Indigenous Peoples Perspective on the History of the USA
Our discussion will be centered on An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz (Beacon Press, 2014) with an edition for young people in 2019. This award winning book is also a basis for the just released HBO Max series "Exterminate All the Brutes" by acclaimed filmmaker Raoul Peck. In her book Ortiz describes and reinterprets four hundred years of indigenous peoples' resistance to the colonization of the Americas while dispelling many myths.
Louise M. Paré, Ph.D, born in the Rogue Valley, who brings over 30 years of teaching experience in women's spirituality, social justice and Native American Women's studies will give an overview presentation before our discussion.
