A vital part of our mission is leadership. LEADERSHIP IS MAKING CHANGE.<\/strong>
This month: Celebrating Native American Heritage<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Following our Leadership is Making Change post<\/a>, which was written in response to the many stories of racial inequality that plague our country, the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership Development at Worcester State University made a vow to provide support for and education about marginalized cultures and identities. Marginalized populations<\/a>\u00a0are defined as “groups and communities that experience discrimination and exclusion (social, political and economic) because of unequal power relationships across economic, political, social and cultural dimensions.”\u00a0\u00a0The Making Change<\/em> series features monthly posts that share historical backgrounds, educational resources (to read, watch, and listen), and activism opportunities centered around a specific culture, identity, or community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Our goal with our November post is to educate about Native American heritage. In honor of Native American Heritage Month would like to acknowledge that the land we meet on each day in the state of Massachusetts is the original homelands of the Mashpee Wampanoag, Aquinnah Wampanoag, Nipmuc, and Massachusett tribal nations. \u00a0We acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory, and we honor and respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land on which we gather.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We strive everyday to educate our students to be impactful campus and community leaders. Leadership begins with education. This resource list is not exhaustive, but will provide the opportunity to begin the journey of educating yourself and those around you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Standing Rock Resistance and our Fight for Indigenous Rights <\/a>
Tara Houska, TEDTalk<\/em>
Still invisible and often an afterthought, indigenous peoples are uniting to protect the world’s water, lands and history — while trying to heal from genocide and ongoing inequality. Tribal attorney and Couchiching First Nation citizen Tara Houska chronicles the history of attempts by government and industry to eradicate the legitimacy of indigenous peoples’ land and culture, including the months-long standoff at Standing Rock which rallied thousands around the world. “It’s incredible what you can do when you stand together,” Houska says. “Stand with us — empathize, learn, grow, change the conversation.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Carry<\/strong>
by Toni Jensen<\/em>
A powerful, poetic memoir about what it means to exist as an indigenous woman in America, told in snapshots of the author\u2019s encounters with gun violence. In prose at once forensic and deeply emotional, Toni Jensen shows herself to be a brave new voice and a fearless witness to her own difficult history\u2014as well as to the violent cultural landscape in which she finds her coordinates. With each chapter, Carry reminds us that surviving in one\u2019s country is not the same as surviving one\u2019s country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee
<\/strong>by David Treuer<\/em>
In\u00a0The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee<\/em>, Treuer melds history with reportage and memoir. Tracing the tribes\u2019 distinctive cultures from first contact, he explores how the depredations of each era spawned new modes of survival. The devastating seizures of land gave rise to increasingly sophisticated legal and political maneuvering that put the lie to the myth that Indians don\u2019t know or care about property. The forced assimilation of their children at government-run boarding schools incubated a unifying Native identity. Conscription in the US military and the pull of urban life brought Indians into the mainstream and modern times, even as it steered the emerging shape of self-rule and spawned a new generation of resistance.\u00a0The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee\u00a0<\/em>is the essential, intimate story of a resilient people in a transformative era.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Heartsong of Charging Elk
<\/strong>by James Welch<\/em>
Charging Elk, an Oglala Sioux, joins Buffalo Bill\u2019s Wild West Show and journeys from the Black Hills of South Dakota to the back streets of nineteenth-century Marseille. Left behind in a Marseille hospital after a serious injury while the show travels on, he is forced to remake his life alone in a strange land. He struggles to adapt as well as he can, while holding on to the memories and traditions of life on the Plains and eventually falling in love. But none of the worlds the Indian has known can prepare him for the betrayal that follows. This is a story of the American Indian that we have seldom seen: a stranger in a strange land, often an invisible man, loving, violent, trusting, wary, protective, and defenseless against a society that excludes him but judges him by its rules. At once epic and intimate, The Heartsong of Charging Elk echoes across time, geography, and cultures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
