We would like to invite you to the Amah Mutsun Speaker Series event, coming up Saturday May 22nd!
Amah Mutsun Speaker Series Honoring our Past and Celebrating our Future: A Conversation with Amah Mutsun Tribal Member College Students Saturday, May 22nd, 2021 1pm - 3pm / Free Register now for this online event (Download the flyer here)
The Amah Mutsun Speak Series (AMSS) events are a collaboration between the American Indian Resource Center at UC Santa Cruz and the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band. This event will mark the 13th year of these events, and the 25th consecutive event of the AMSS series. Past events have brought in speakers who are recognized scholars in their own individual fields, with topics such as "Historic Trauma", "Indigenous Studies", "Missing Murdered Indigenous Women", and other topics. Although, for this event, Amah Mutsun Tribal Members are the scholars!
This event will highlight six Amah Mutsun college students, including: Alexii Sigona, Julisa Lopez, Steven Pratt, Athena Hernandez, Dominic Lopez-Toney, and Carolyn Rodriguez. Each will discuss their experiences in higher education, share about their research and how they hope to serve the community after completing their degree programs.
