Nellie and Kevin will discuss the trials of Virginia Indians in the early part of the 20th century including Walter Plecker’s attempts to completely erase native culture from our society and will contrast his work to the advocacy of Frank Speck who tried to reunite the tribes of the confederacy. We will hear how attempts to “kill the Indian and save the man” extended into the 50s as Indian boarding schools and the education system were the next phase in racist practices. \nOur speakers will also address the state of Virginia Indians in modern times and react to the question\, “do you live in teepees?” (They don’t). Some Native Americans live on reservations\, but many others do not. We will hear about the process to get federal recognition\, working with the Bureau of Indian Affairs.  Nellie and Kevin will discuss which tribes are currently federally and state recognized as well as the difference between these two things and mention the tribute still paid to the Virginia governor each year. The conversation will continue as we hear about efforts to bring the diaspora back into native communities. \nQuestions will be taken after the presentation.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n If you can’t attend in person please use this link to JOIN VIA ZOOMMeeting ID: 823 4409 1516Passcode: 376359One tap mobile:+16465588656\,\,82344091516#\,\,\,\,*376359# US (New York)+13017158592\,\,82344091516#\,\,\,\,*376359# US (Washington DC) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Our Speakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Kevin Brown is a retired Chief of the Pamunkey tribe of King William County\, Virginia.
