About this event

Adults: 18 and up. Join Les Begay, Dine, as he discusses the history of how the United States government used laws to appropriate Native Lands and erase Native people and their cultures. He will link this to the current day practices of how treaties and sovereignty are ignored. Les Begay was a founder of the Indigenous Peoples Day Coalition and lectures on Native history in local high school and and college classrooms. This program is in partnership with the Edgewater Historical Society. Accessibility Need sign language interpretation or other accessibility assistance for this event?
