Indigenous Learning Forum: Activating Nuxalk Ancestral Governance to Protect the Nuxalk Language with the American Philosophical Society (APS) with Emily Jean Leischner

The seventh 2024-2025 Indigenous Learning Forum will take place March 20, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. ET on Zoom. This talk will be given in English with Spanish translation.  

This event is open to all but registration is required.

Emily Jean Leischner is a settler, community-based researcher who studies and works with heritage institutions like museums and archives. In reciprocity with colleagues and friends from the Nuxalk First Nation, (whose territory is on the Northwest Coast of what is also known as British Columbia, Canada), she researches the historical and contemporary appropriation of Nuxalk knowledge and heritage, collaborating on projects that reclaim and uphold Nuxalk sovereignty. 

An abstract for this talk will be provided closer to the event date.
