As part of ongoing conversations between Carnegie Museum of Natural History staff and members of the HAA community on the subjects of land acknowledgment, decolonization, and Indigenous representation and collaboration, please save the date for two days of programming featuring Dr. Jessie Ryker-Crawford.

A sociocultural anthropologist with a PhD from the University of Washington, Jessie researches, teaches, and consults on the Indigenization and decolonization of museums in the North American context. These events are co-organized and co-sponsored by HAA and CMNH with support from a Provost’s Year of Engagement grant.
