Native Space: Mapping, Expulsion, and Confinement in 19th-century North America In-Person

The fall meeting of the Geospatial Working Group features Balraj Gill, an Indigenous Studies Postdoctoral Fellow at WashU, who will discuss Native relationships with space and place as settlers colonized and transformed Native space during the 19th century in what is called North America. The talk will explore Native epistemologies of space alongside settler mapping, the expulsion of Native peoples from their homelands, and their confinements in concentrated spaces when tribal nations and communities evaded expulsion.  Presentation will be followed by group discussion and light refreshments.

Free and open to all, registration requested.
