A lecture by Christina Gish Hill, assistant professor of anthropology and American Indian studies at Iowa State University, will take place Nov. 9 at 4:30 p.m. in the Cowles Library Reading Room.

In her lecture, “For the Unborn: Kin and Northern Cheyenne Struggles to Retain their Landbase,” the praise-winning author will discuss her newly published research about family and nationhood and the Northern Cheyenne struggle to reclaim an ancestral homeland.

The lecture is an exciting opportunity to encounter emerging research at the intersection of anthropology and American Indian studies and to learn about the creative and tenacious efforts of the Northern Cheyenne nation to establish a reservation in its Tongue River homeland. Attendees will learn about the unique stories Hill has collected through years of oral history and archival research. The event is open to the public and sponsored by the Department of Study of Culture and Society. For questions, contact Michael Haedicke, associate professor of sociology.
