Environmental, Activist, and Indigenous Energies - Estes + Goldtooth

Kaplan Humanities Institute

What are the energies—activist, scholarly, artistic—and collective organizing shaping Indigenous movements for lands and waters?

The Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University

*4/10/23: Due to unforeseen circumstances, this 4/11 Dialogue with Nick Estes and Dallas Goldtooth is postponed. We do hope to reschedule sometime in the coming year!This event brings together Indigenous activist-scholars to foreground the Indigenous lands and nations on the front lines not just of the climate crisis but also of collective actions seeking different futures. As the climate crisis continues to be fueled by energy extraction and an inability on the part of nation states and corporations to divest from capitalism, we focus in on Indigenous resistance movements to protect the environment. We ask:What are the forms of activism and collective organizing that are shaping Indigenous movements for lands and waters? Where do activist energies intersect with artistic and scholarly ones?We hope this conversation reflects both on the urgency of energy crises as well as on long-standing Indigenous collective energies.Tickets are free for this event; public welcome! Reception with refreshments will follow the conversation.Discussion with:Nick Estes is Kul Wicasa, a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.
