Indigenous Storytelling and the Law
Indigenous Storytelling and Law Symposium
March 17 & 18, 2017
Presented by the Center for Native American and Indigenous Studies
This interdisciplinary symposium will explore ways Indigenous narratives are spoken, heard, and acted upon in legal settings.
· What does it mean for law to solicit Native testimony?
· Who tells such stories, with what authority, and with what protections and possible consequences?
· How do traditions and stories get reshaped in legal contexts? How might storytelling challenge law?
