This month we delight in the variation of human beauty.

Between now and July 15, we are supporting the work of two local organizations who advocate and support the descendants of the first people of Oga Po’geh, the White Shell Water Place.

The Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVAN) is focused on shaping policy, conducting outreach, increasing awareness, informing priorities and working to ensure that our tribal communities are represented within conversations where we have historically been underrepresented. Our grounding in the movement to end violence is not only to organize, but to mobilize our communities towards healthier families and healthier communities. Our work gives us unique insight into how to increase social change and gender justice advocacy through community-based solutions to violence. The voices of our communities, and the strengths of our women and children, shape our priorities and approach.

The Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) mission is “To empower creativity and leadership in Native Arts and cultures through higher education, life-long learning, and outreach.” The Office of Institutional Advancement (OIA) is responsible for an extraordinary range of activities that provide the framework for building strong support and lasting relationships with a variety of constituents including alumni, community members, donors, government, the media, parents, students, and other friends. One way they provide support is through scholarships, which "are needed by more than 80% of our students to help them pursue their studies here at IAIA."

Taught by Kimi Floyd Reisch (they, she), this webinar will consider how the experiences of Black people migrating into the western territories and states after the Civil War. Many small towns and growing western cities had significant numbers of Black people by 1920, but that does not mean they were accepted or treated equitably. This webinar will discuss the effects of redlining in Albuquerque, the Civil Rights movement in NM, the 1948 Walgreens boycott, the McLellan sit-in in 1960, and more.
