Continuing Invasion: Resistance, Resilience, and Re-invention among North American Indigenous Peoples

Continuing invasion is the process many Native people use to characterize their historic and present realities. Since the first wave of Europeans landed on American shores, indigenous peoples have endured all manner of physical, material, and psychological brutalities. Yet some of the most successful and courageous examples of resistance to systematic decimation are embodied in indigenous peoples’ unwavering determination to protect their lives, lands, and ways of life. This semester, the Scripps Humanities Institute brings to campus a diverse group of indigenous speakers whose work constitutes its own form of resistance, challenging and contesting the omissions, distortions, and fetishized constructions that abound in mainstream and scholarly representations of Native peoples.
