About this Event
Native Conference: Weaving Indigenous Stories Symposium (Hybrid Event)
Date: May 30, 2025
Location: Alumni Center, Northeastern University, Boston, MA
Event begins: 11AM EST
Indigenous peoples, histories, stories, and culture have been erased from the City of Boston and Massachusetts. You rarely see the mention of our peoples across the City and if you do, it’s rarely from an Indigenous perspective. Due to the history of erasure in Massachusetts, you don’t see many events or convenings centering Indigenous knowledge. Our history in this city and state needs to reckon with that exclusion and erasure.
In partnership with the North American Indian Center of Boston and Northeastern University, we are hosting our second annual Indigenous symposium. These annual events will be led by Indigenous peoples, centering and platforming Indigenous knowledge. This year we’d like to focus on land and the work that Indigenous communities are doing to protect land and restore land. This will be a one day event, two panel discussions, and exhibition of art.
Proposed Schedule:
Panel Discussion 1
Land Back + Conservation
Cultural Preservation
Lunch
Panel Discussion 2
Projects that are being done on Land
Environmental Justice
Artist show + Artist Share Out
Our symposium is sponsored by: City of Boston, City of Boston Equity and Inclusion, North American Indian Center of Boston, and Mills College at Northeastern
