Voices lecture Oct. 12: Dogs, Horses and the Indian: A History of Blood QuantumK

Hello all!

The campus community is invited to the library’s next VOICES lecture.

Wednesday, Oct. 12
1 to 1:50 p.m. at the BTC Auditorium

Heather Bruegl, a citizen of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and first-line descendent Stockbridge Munsee, will explore the idea and effects of blood quantum on individuals, tribes and treaty rights. Native Americans are the only human group that must keep track of blood quantum. “Indian blood laws” have been viewed as a slow genocide of the Indigenous people.
