Convened with Borderlands Curatorial Fellow Larissa Nez (Diné), the last seminar of the first year of Correction* considers rematriation and the preservation of Indigenous culture, art, and land. With an emphasis on culture as a living process that incorporates both continuity and change, this seminar explores the ways Indigenous people from, and living in, the New York region are working across social and political landscapes to revitalize traditional practices, language usage, and artistic experimentation.

Among the speakers are Indigenous rights activist Sutton King, MPH, Nāēqtaw-Pianakiw (“comes first woman”), an Afro-Indigenous descendent of the Menominee and Oneida Nations of Wisconsin and Co-Founder of Urban Indigenous Collective, contemporary mixed media artist Leonard Harmon, a citizen of the Lenape Tribe of New Jersey and the Nanticoke Tribe of Delaware, and Jeremy Dennis, a photographer, founder and president of Ma’s House, and member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation in Southampton, NY.
