Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Lecture: “Culturally Deliberate in the 21st Century”
For millennia, cultures across humanity were diverse and unique. In language, dress, religion and social constructs, people groups were as diverse as the lands they inhabited. This held especially true for the Indigenous peoples of North America. This discussion, led by Principal Chief Richard G. Sneed, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, will review the history of systematic cultural destruction, and how the implementation of those policies still impacts tribal cultures today. Finally, as technology, communication and media become globally ubiquitous, there is a risk of the homogenization of culture. The need to be deliberate in our embrace, practice and celebration of the uniqueness of all cultures will be discussed. Sponsored by the American Indian Catholic Schools Network, the Native American Student Association of Notre Dame and the Enrollment Division.
