On the Ground: Indigenous Voices on Constructed Place is a lecture series centering the voices, stories and knowledges of Indigenous architects, researchers and community organizers. It is both a celebration of November 2021 as National Native American Heritage Month, as well as a call to action.

 

Please join hosts Bobbie Koch and Jim Nicholls at noon, on the first three Fridays in November, for one-hour Zoom presentations and discussions.

 

Each Friday will be a short presentation of Indigenous Architects research and work followed by questions and comments. A set of perspectives will be offered – Praxis, Academia, and Activism.
