We are excited to welcome Diné author and historian Farina King to host the next installment of Native Conversations to be held on Saturday, March 14, 2020 at 5:30pm. 

In honor of March being National Women's History Month, King will present Native American Women: Historical Trailblazers in order to discuss the experiences and efforts of Native American women who emerged as public intellectuals in the early twentieth century. She traces the stories and lives of Indigenous women who supported and advocated for human and civil rights for their peoples in the era of women's suffrage movements leading to the passage of the 19th amendment. She also emphasizes the intergenerational and ongoing struggles for Native Americans' civil and voting rights in the United States, as part of sovereign Indigenous nations, especially from Indigenous women's perspectives. Q & A will follow.

Ms King will also be available for a book signing of her new book, The Earth Memory Compass: Dine’ Landscapes and Education in the Twentieth Century.

MONAH will host Native Conversations: Native American Women: Historical Trailblazers as a free event that is open to all ages.

Registration is appreciated but not required. Seating is on a first-come first-serve basis as capacity allows.
