“Relational Futures: A Symposium for Indigenous Land, Water, and Environment,” a three-day event that will take place in Chicago on October 7-9, 2021. Bringing together Indigenous scholars, activists, and policymakers, this symposium offers a platform for dialogue around Indigenous relationships to land, water, and environment in the context of planetary climate change, enduring legacies of toxic exposure, and ongoing resource extraction. The event is planned in conjunction with the exhibition Toward Common Cause: Art, Social Change, and the MacArthur Fellows Program at 40 at the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago and the D’Arcy McNickle Distinguished Lecture series at the Newberry Library with additional support from the Center for Native American and Indigenous Research at Northwestern University and the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture at UChicago.
