Aambe! (Let’s Go!): Native American Heritage Month Kickoff

How can we all learn from and advocate for health and wellness that draws on Indigenous knowledge? Come find out at this “Seven Circles” interactive workshop based on Indigenous teachings for living well. We’ll be offering lunch to the first 40 attendees!

Join us as we discuss "Love & Fury" - Follow native artists as they navigate their careers in the US and abroad as they explore the immense complexities of their own identities as Native artists, as well as, advancing art into a post-colonial world.

Killers of the Flower Moon tells the story of the brutal murders behind white settlers’ attempted dispossession of an Osage family’s Oklahoma lands, under which lie some of the world’s most valuable oil fields. This conspiracy of theft, terror, and genocide helped launch J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI.

Join Quapaw Nation’s coffee roasters for an engaging workshop that explores coffee from selection, to roasting, to cupping, to packaging up and sending out for people all over the world to drink and enjoy! Be ready to enjoy samples of O-Gah-Pah Coffee from Quapaw Nation as well as a FREE boxed lunch.

Like many places in the U.S., Missouri is a place where a majority of non-Indigenous people live on Native lands. This discussion will support Mizzou and Missouri residents in better understanding the historical presence of Osage people in Missouri, subsequent removal, and the contemporary issues faced today. Attendees can expect to have more clarity about their own current relationships to the lands they live on, treaties, and present-day Osage people.

This event is part of Mizzou's annual Native American Heritage Month celebration.
