Challenging Narratives of Erasure

In the last 50 years, Native people from many nations have begun to reassert their claims to the land. In some instances those claims are legal, challenging land use or water rights, but often these claims are more subtle and take place in school districts, local newspapers, or museums. Can you find instances where Native people in your area established a presence?

Use either the packet of readings we have given you, or online sources about disputed land cases or other forms of reclamation  to discuss how Native Americans have challenged land claims in or near the region where your campus is located.  Bring these disputes to life on your blog.
