Presented by Samuel Herley, Ph.D., & Tawa Ducheneaux

The lessons of the 1973 Wounded Knee Occupation are as crucial as ever in the twenty-first century, as Native American communities persevere to maintain identities, demand rights as sovereign nations, and strive toward self-determination. This presentation offers a look into the complexities of the legacy of the occupation through a series of oral history clips, transcript excerpts, photographs, and other materials.
