Event Description

The 1960s were a pivotal time in the United States. The civil rights movement was sweeping the nation, and among these was the American Indian Movement. Continue to move through history with AIM in the 1960s, a resurgence of Federal Indian Policy in the 1970s with the Indian Child Welfare Act, the continued fight for tribal sovereignty, and through the protests at Standing Rock and the emergence of the Land Back Movement. This lecture begins in the 1960s and takes you up to the present day.

Heather Bruegl, inspired by a trip to Wounded Knee, South Dakota, quickly developed a passion for Native American History. Curiosity for her own heritage led her to Wisconsin, where she has researched the history of the Native American tribes of that region. Heather is a graduate of Madonna University of Michigan and holds a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in U.S. History. She currently travels and lectures on Native American history, including policy and activism.

For adults and teens. Held in 4th Floor Program Room.
