Harvest of Hope: 7 Gabrielle Tayac
Description
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, this timely and insightful forum moderated by Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian Director Kevin Gover (Pawnee/Comanche) focuses on topical issues of reconciliation and highlights national apologies made to Native peoples. The symposium covers the eloquent apology issued in June 2008 by the Canadian government for the abuse and cultural loss suffered by Aboriginal peoples in Canada's residential schools. It includes a presentation on the Native American Apology Resolution recently passed in the United States Senate as well as an examination of reconciliation efforts in Guatemala. A wrap-up speaker considers the issues involved in apologies and reconciliation processes in a broad scope. Concluding with panel discussion and questions from the audience, Harvest of Hope seeks a deeper, more inclusive understanding of our national narratives and the experiences of the Native peoples of the Americas. In Part 6, Gabrielle Tayac gives a talk entitled "At the Woods Edge: Reconciling with Native America." Gabrielle Tayac (Piscataway) is a historian in the Research Department at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. She received her undergraduate education at Cornell University and earned a Ph.D. in sociology from Harvard University. The granddaughter of the late medicine man Chief Turkey Tayac, she has worked with a number of organizations to promote education about the rights of indigenous peoples around the world, including Amnesty International. Dr. Tayac's areas of scholarly interest include American Indian identity, policy, religious traditions, and social movements; Latin American indigenous transnationalism; Chesapeake regional tribes; and museum education. She is the author of Meet Naiche: A Native Boy from the Chesapeake Bay Area and co-curator of the NMAI Mall museum inaugural exhibition, Our Lives: Contemporary Life and Identities. This symposium took place in the Rasmuson Theater of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC on November 13, 2008.
