  • 2021 Symposium on the American Indian Program
    www.nsuok.edu/symposium · 48TH ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE AMERICAN INDIAN · The 48th Annual Symposium on the American Indian will be held on April 13-17, 2020, centered on the theme, “Visionaries of Indian Country”. American Indians carry with them the knowledge, traditions, and language of their ancestors as they serve as leaders within their family, Tribe, and community. These visionaries are not just focused on the here and now, but are cognizant of how decisions made today will impact future genera- tions. This concept of the 7th generation is a way of life for many Indigenous people, a method of integrating the past, present and future. The visionaries of Indian Country are vital to the preservation and sustainability of our languages, community, environment and sovereignty.
