A panel of approximately 10-12 Native American activist leaders will present a panel titled "Standing Rock and Beyond: Indigenous Leadership and Strategies for Coming Struggles" at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 27 at Herrick Chapel.

Standing Rock has been one of the highest profile and most successful nonviolent resistance movements in recent history. Though there have been significant setbacks with President Trump's executive orders on the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) the fight is still happening today in Standing Rock and in Iowa. These issues connect to much wider and ongoing issues of indigenous rights and defending the environment.

This event is sponsored by the Wilson Center for Innovation and Leadership, Religious Studies Department, Institute for Global Engagement, Center for Prairie Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies, the Dean's Office, and the Rosenfield Program.

Grinnell College welcomes the participation of people with disabilities. Accommodation requests may be made to Conference Operations.

The College welcomes the presence of minors at all age-appropriate public events and for informal visits, with the understanding that a parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult assumes full responsibility for their child’s safety and behavior during such visits or events. In these cases the College expects that an adult responsible for the visiting child takes measures to ensure the child’s safety and sees that the child complies with directions of College personnel. Grinnell College is not responsible for supervision of minors on campus.
