JOHN TRUDELL ON NATIVE AMERICA CALLING


Thursday, July 26, 2007 – Don’t Speak For Us:


Non-Native authors, scholars, filmmakers, anthropologists, scientists, lobbyists and government officials often seize opportunities to speak on behalf of Natives. This leads to controversy over accuracy, interpretation, legitimacy, and in some cases, false representation of Native people. What consequences does this present? Is there something that is lost in the translation? Or, can there be indirect benefits to non-Natives speaking or writing on behalf of Natives? Our guests are John Trudell, activist/artist from the Santee Sioux Tribe and Hanay Geiogamah, a Kiowa professor at UCLA’s School of Theater , Film and Television.
