Suzan Shown Harjo: Indigenous Rights and the Importance of Art

Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne and Hodulgee Muscogee) has worked for decades to shape a national Native American policy agenda that addresses issues at the core of Indigenous identity: sacred places protection and repatriation, religious freedom, treaty and inherent sovereign rights, mascot eradication, and language revitalization. 

During this virtual talk, Harjo, a longtime supporter and admirer of Judith Lowry’s work, will highlight the vital role of culture bearers and visual artists in advancing women’s rights and Native sovereignty. 

This is a virtual program that will be broadcast in the Museum’s theater for those who wish to attend in person.
