SUMMARY:More Than Words: Nourishing the Myaamia Community through Language and Cultural Revitalization
DESCRIPTION:ASL Interpreted. \nFeaturing Daryl Baldwin\, founding director of the Myaamia Center\, discover the ways language nourishes deep connections to self and community through this interactive presentation on efforts to revitalize indigenous culture and languages. \nWhen we view language as simply a tool for communication\, it doesn’t seem so harmful to swap one tool for another or to alter – or discard – the tool altogether. But when we recognize language as a knowledge system and a core component of identity\, we see how it connects us to our history and ancestry. Local Native and Indigenous communities know this better than anyone else as they fight to reclaim lost\, arguably\, stolen language. Language revitalization efforts offer the next generation of speakers the opportunity to better connect with tribal knowledge systems\, philosophy\, and values\, thereby nourishing a new generation’s access to ancestry and identity \nQuestions? Contact 317-274-2462 or festival@iupui.edu. \nEvent Partners: IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI linguist student Kayla McVeigh with support from the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art and the following IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI departments\, programs\, and centers: American Indian and Linguistics Programs; Departments of Philosophy\, Anthropology\, Religious Studies\, English\, History\, Sociology\, and World Languages and Culture; The Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture; IUPUI Arts & Humanities Institute; and the Native American Student Alliance (NASA). \nRegistration: Registration requested by Nov. 4.

SUMMARY:Inking Identity: Indigenous Tattoo Practices
DESCRIPTION:Artist\, activist\, and owner/founder of Thunderbird Rising Studios in Indianapolis\, Stephanie Big Eagle will talk about the traditional Indigenous practice of hand poked tattooing and how both the practice of tattooing and the tattoo itself shape and reflect cultural identity. \nTattoos are inherently tied to identity as one is choosing to permanently adorn their body with visual aspects of their self. Like many Native art forms\, oppression and assimilation practices led traditional tattooing practices to be set aside for a time. Fortunately\, these tattooing traditions are experiencing a reawakening and revival in recent years\, helping Native Peoples connect deeply to cultural practices that were nearly lost. \nThose gathered for the event will have a chance to hear Lakota/Dakota tattoo artist Stephanie Big Eagle and others talk about the practice of hand poked tattooing and how Indigenous tattoos both shape and reflect individual and cultural identities. \nA partnership between Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art\, Purdue University Native American Educational and Cultural Center\, and Indiana Native American Indian Affairs Commission. \nContact the event organizers at (317) 275-1377 or museumprograms@eiteljorg.com. \nWalk-ins welcome\, but registration is strongly encouraged by Nov. 9. \nThis event will also be livestreamed via Vimeo.  \nRegister below. \nThe second group includes people with innate disabilities. We try to rectify what nature Carly Rae Jepsen has deprived us of. And the third group includes patients who should be discouraged. They hope that after plastic surgery problems in the family or at work will disappear\, or they will have good luck in the love life. These people don’t realize that the reasons are within themselves and not in their appearance. Sometimes just talking is enough to make the patient realize that there is no need for surgery\, because they just need to solve their psychological problems. \nImage courtesy of Stephanie Big Eagle

SUMMARY:**Award of Awesomeness Nominee!** Truthsgiving: Using Food to Dismantle a Colonial Myth
DESCRIPTION:Through cooking demonstrations and more\, explore why romanticized versions of Thanksgiving are harmful to Native Peoples and how you can incorporate indigenized alternatives into your celebration. \nNovember is Native American Heritage Month as well as the month many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. The Eiteljorg and its partners invite you to explore ways of honoring Indigenous people during your holiday celebrations. The Native American community is widely diverse and still alive today. However\, systemic issues like the myth surrounding the origins of Thanksgiving continue to generalize and suppress the Native community. This event is not about cancelling a holiday; it is about changing perspectives on how to celebrate the holiday and Native Peoples. \nEnjoy a conversation about the mythology of the “first Thanksgiving” with Jonathan James-Perry (Aquinnah Wampanoag) and a cooking demonstration led by a Navajo food journalist Andi Murphy to learn more about food sovereignty. Attendees will be able to enter a drawing for a chance to win a meal kit with Indigenous foods and recipes\, so be sure to RSVP! \nA partnership between Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art\, Purdue Native American Educational Cultural Center\, and Indiana Native American Indian Affairs Commission. \nQuestions? Contact 317-275-1377 and museumprograms@eiteljorg.com. \nThis event is currently scheduled to occur in-person. Register by Nov. 9 and note this event will adhere to prevailing local guidance on COVID-19. Thoroughly read confirmation details sent by the host. \nImages courtesy of Andi Murphy (right) and Jonathan James Perry (left) \n \nThis event is part of the Spirit & Place Festival.
