NCPH 2021 sessions available for Native American History Month

It has been seven months since the 2021 NCPH Virtual Conference, and the National Council on Public History (NCPH) continues to celebrate the conversations presenters and attendees shared. NCPH President Greg Smoak and 2021 Conference Co-Chairs Laurie Arnold (Sinixt) and Leisl Carr Childers would like to amplify selected conversations as resources that communities can draw upon for both Indigenous Peoples’ Day (October 11, 2021) and Native American Heritage Month (November 2021) programming. These eight sessions will be available publicly on NCPH’s YouTube channel through November 30, 2021, and we welcome you to use them for personal learning, classroom learning, and other programming for your students, interns, and sites from October 11-November 30.

You may remember the conference theme was “the presence and persistence of stories.” NCPH and the conference co-chairs recognize the critical importance of Native and Indigenous Peoples interpreting their narratives on their terms, and we believe granting access to these sessions will allow even more people to engage with the urgent questions these sessions posed and sought to answer. Some of the sessions below do not have Indigenous presenters, but the topics presented are relevant for Indian Country and many Indigenous scholars discuss intersectionality in their work.

Thank you for engaging with us, and with this content,
